After talking with Jeff
I discovered fuel cell technology again.
It's not like it used to be.
It's been radically changed from what we have been told.
So these days you can pump gas into your car for the fuel cell and with special technology it converts that fuel into electricity and heat. (Water vapor and some kind of nitrogen dioxide comes out the tailpipe )
The special membrane is the problem...they have been using platinum ($1500 worth per cell)
But now they have iron/sulfur compounds that seems to work the same.
If they can get ALL the bugs worked out... this could make a full sized truck get 90 miles to the gallon.
And since there's no moving parts...less maintenance.
It's going to be very interesting to see how it works out.
