    What greener options? Certainly not electric vehicles. EVs are benefited by advanced research and testing of batteries and motors and all the other electrical components that go into hybrid vehicles.

    The better question to ask would be: Are hydrogen vehicles and hydrogen hype putting the brakes on electric transportation and other options?

    One must educate themselves on the subject and history of anti-EV activities. But consider whose interests are served by pushing hydrogen and criticizing battery electric hybrids.

    More than 90% of all hydrogen produced comes from natural gas. Nothing renewable about that. And we know which industry sells it.
    Many automotive companies missed the hybrid boat and are not at all happy about Toyota's remarkable financial success with hybrids.
    Tax dollars spent on hydrogen vehicle research vastly outstrip those spent on hybrid and battery electric vehicle research.

    Possibly this report is genuinely independent. Possibly it, like France, is bias toward the nuclear power industry. Possibly this report like so many others on the subject are designed by PR firms to spread disinformation about hybrids. The fingerprints of PR manipulation are all over the demise of the General Motors EV-1 all electric vehicle. We know that fake front groups funded by oil and auto companies were formed to thwart California's efforts to jumpstart zero emission electric vehicles. Why would any of that have changed with hybrids which are a step in the direction of electric vehicles?

    What I'm wondering now is if the Center for Media and Democracy has itself fallen victim to a PR ploy by posting this asinine article.

    I wish some company would come up with a process that gets all the pharmaceutals out. Since sheeple are not likely to stop believing MSM newscasts, and since doctors will never own up to the fact much of their medical training was to promote pharma profits and not real health, the water supply is likely to be contaminated. In the meantime I will keep buying distilled water.

    Hydrogen is energy negative to produce (it take more energy to make it, than you can get out of it)

    The biggest proponents of Hydrogen right now? The people who want to build nuclear power plants.

    Makes a nice back door, no?
