No, most hydrogen comes from hydrocarbons reformations (the process of spliting H2 from carbons) and thus it is almost never emissions free.]]>May 9th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/May 9th 2010 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/No, I'll be spending my 50k on the iPad 4G.]]>May 9th 2010 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/AC plug-in powered (using solar or wind to charge) FTWs!!]]>May 9th 2010 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/May 9th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/Jesus, I got a ton of replies, none of which are actually replies.]]>May 9th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/NO....WAY]]>May 9th 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/+1 NO

Hell No x Infinity

Over priced and probably still gasoline dependent right? Did you know the first cars were hydrogen based and then gasoline was changed to a standard because they could make money off it? Go do some research. They also killed off the electric vehicle some time back in the 90s because they couldn't make money off it at the time. Some good movies to watch:

- Who killed the Electric Car
- Revenge of the Electric Car

Do some research on those who tried to make cars that ran on water who were mysteriously killed. It's all there for everyone to read, just educate yourself.]]>May 9th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/
Hydrogen can be produced from town main sources:

A) Water - using an energy intensive process called electrolysis (argubly generating even more pollution at the power plant than it would take to just fill up the battery of an electric car).

B) Hydrocarbons - by reforming carbons, mainly natural gas.

The cheapest way and the means by which most hydrogen is made is from the reformation of hydrocarbons (fossil fuels). One of the by products of the reformation is CO2.

Why do you think Oil companies are pushing for H2? (hint: they want to make money and produce hydrogen as cheap as possible).]]>May 9th 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/
Will ... at the beginning, yes the electricity will come from fossil fuel, but maybe 5 years latter ... renewable energy tech is there to split Hydrogen and Oxygen, the advantage of this is to separate the solution from the car, and make the hydrogen as medium to store electricity (think battery), this way, we don't have to change our cars every time a more efficient way to generate electricity comes.

It may even be more practical this way , for example you can't attach giant wind turbine to each car, but it easy to build a large grid of them in a power plant, use that power to split Hydrogen and Oxygen, and use that hydrogen to power your car.

Now, back to the original question, would i buy hydrogen-power car in 2015 for $50K, .... maybe ... who know what will happen in 5 years from now.]]>May 9th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/09/would-you-buy-a-hydrogen-powered-sedan-in-2015-for-50-000/

I hate being the party pooper, however David Bailey is correct. The EROEI for hydrogen is not worth it. Of all green technologies, I think only corn ethanol beats hydgrogen at being more wasteful that valueable.
