What really matters is miles per dollar, miles per fill-up and initial

efficiency is. Most of us feel that it will never get there.

I don't see how it ever can get there.

Hydrogen is merely an 'energy carrier' and batteries do that job many
many tines better.

True if the H2 is synthesised from methane or water. But, according to a
press release by a company producing hydrogen vehicles, the H2 component
in the natural gas piped to homes in many countries means that, in theory,
home owners with a H2 vehicle could run a device to extract the H2 from
their gas line and fill their vehicle's tank overnight.

Press release ? They're barking mad.
