Are you nuts? You think there are environmentalists sitting in parliament? Hardly

Before you underanalyze, you should probably take a look at the facts. There's plenty of information online, and most of it should help you reach a better conclusion. Assuming downsides it the wrong way to go.

I wrote a 36-page research essay on this whole thing a while back, and I only see one real disadvantage: The production of the hydrogen itself. That's the most costly. Other than processes like electrolysis, hydrogen is usually derived from fossil fuels, therfore eliminating the sustainable properties that make it so desireable.

The fact is, using standardized hydrogen fuel is a direction that we definately need to go in. Having people around in denial and political figureheads like George W. Bush is only holding us back from the real Government subsidization that should be going on.
