That's exactly what I thought! Evo.

Normally I dislike French car designs, but wow that is an attractive car!

At this point I think we need to stop feeding the troll. We gave him a bit of a chance here but he really can't make his case at all.

Tim, there's a difference between living completely without technology and simply choosing not to use the technology which still needs a LOT of improvement, ie vehicles. Nobody in this town is telling people to give up running water, electricity, or the wonders of modern medicine. No, speaking of giving up medicine, that would be the crazy right wing lunatics who decide prayers will do better.

YES! Solar cells on the roof of a car to power AC is ridiculous. THIS however is a perfect example of a vehicle that would benefit from solar cells on the roof. It's actually exposed to the sun for its entire flight (unless of course there is no sun). I wonder if the solar cells would be too heavy... then again there is newer tech out there for lightweight, flexible sheets of solar cells that would probably do the job. If they integrated them with the system in this plane I think it could add a good chunk of flight time to this plane on a sunny day!

As successful he is and what a great job he's doing shifting the auto industry towards sustainable, environmentally-friendly vehicles, he definitely IS an arrogant asshole.

sploiler ---> spoiler

I seem to be having an issue with typos lately.

Concerning the picture chosen for this article, I think that is probably the gayest car I have ever seen.

And before anybody starts flaming me know that I say that as a devout fan of the Prius... and a homosexual.

I wouldn't be seen dead in that thing. They need to make it have a sploiler and give it a body kit. Flame decals too. According to Futurama it's scientifically proven it'll make it go faster. ^_^

This is impressive but I still think electric is superior to hydrogen when it comes to the world's automotive evolution.

Problem: Gasoline pollutes.
Hydrogen does effectively solve this problem because when burned it doesn't produce any pollutants and when used in a fuel cell H2O is the only byproduct. Electric just refines this. An ICE is naturally inefficient, and having to use a fuel cell to obtain the electricity for an electric motor also adds an unneeded extra step reducing overall efficiency. An electric vehicle takes away the fuel cell or ICE and just uses one efficient electric motor.

Problem: Gasoline is a finite resource.
Again, both hydrogen and electric solve this problem, but having to use electrolysis (converting methane or coal doesn't count, both are finite) may place a burden on areas of the world that experience water shortages. Electricity, gathered from wind, solar, or hydroelectric dams is renewable and doesn't create water shortages.

One area hydrogen seems to excel at is storage. Currently, there are more promising technologies being examined for storing large amounts of hydrogen for long-distance travel.

On the other hand, electricity can be stored more safely, and already has an infrastructure in place that may at most need slight improvements to cope with a transition. Furthermore, people can recharge their cars at home (without purchasing expensive electrolysis devices for home) and won't be slaves to the new suppliers of hydrogen, who could potentially just gouge customers the way Big Oil does today.

In the end, I think electric wins. it's more efficient and easier to adopt. I don't see why people are obsessed with using fuels when we can use pure energy.

As a Canadian this embarrasses me. It seems our government is years behind when it comes to implementing green policies. As a previous poster stated, simply mandating increases in fuel efficiency over time would be much more effective than raping our countryside's farmland. Do people really still think ethanol is a long-term solution, if a solution at all?
