Automakers, U.S. to Develop Fuel Cell Cars
Wait a minute, WAIT! Isn't President Bush supposed to be against this kind of thing? Aren't his 'oil buddies' going to be pissed? How is he going to get all of his kickbacks for doing this?

I certainly hope that post was tongue-in-cheek. This reminds me of a conversation I had with a hippie about electric cars. She said, "Bush'll just make them illegal, so his oil buddies can get rich." Do you think this article would discourage her point of view? Probably not. She would just ignore it and move on to the next baseless attack.
yeah, um, read this...

hmmm...can't wait to see what you guys come up with this time!

First thing, the post comment I had was mostly a joke. Second, I read the article supplied by you, Chach. Here's the thing, though. They are talking about hydrogen that's produced by oil, gas, and nuclear power plants like they shouldn't be used. This hydrogen is a by-product of the power making process and is already produced. Secondly, from what I've found, fossil fuel and nuclear based power plants produce more hydrogen than renewable power sources, just like they produce more power. There would be no extra pollution from power companies helping out from what I can gather. Also, knowing from other posts I have put up, I don't always support the gov't footing the bill for everything that is done in this country. I don't find that oil companies funding reseach for this alternate energy source as a problem, as the author of this article so puts it. Finally, check out the article that Chauncy put up on 03/29 and see the nonsense that most renewable power is. With less cars on the road spewing CO into the air and more leaking a little water now and then, I don't see how this woman can argue with this.... Was that article written by a woman?
Oh, and I forgot to respond to Chauncy. Bush's so called 'oil buddies' are already rich. Did they become poor and I just didn't realize it? Does the President need to make them rich again?
i'm not sure that you really understand the implications the article is setting forth. i don't really feel like going over all of them so i'd suggest just re-reading the article.
I read that stupid article from the communist propaganda magazine known as mother jones. They're complaining because the hydrogen extraction methods will be powered by our already-existing power infrastructure. That's like complaining about a new, more energy-efficient hair dryer because you still have to plug it into the wall! You're going to have to try better than that! I suppose you would complain about gas stations getting the electricity for their pumps from the power companies that use gas or coal.
This is ridiculous! Why I even read that stupid article you suggested I don't even know. Of course we're going to consult energy companies about providing a new energy service! Who else is going to do it?
