After all of this you would think I am completely against hydrogen but I'm actually a big fan. Hydrogen is one of my favorite gases, right behind helium and argon. My problem is the same as it is with electric cars. We aren't really solving any problems, just moving them around. We have to figure out how to make hydrogen easier, cheaper, and cleaner to produce. Right now, estimates for the cost of an equivalent amount of hydrogen compared to gasoline would be between $6-$10 per gallon. Estimates put the cost of developing the United States infrastructure for hydrogen anywhere from $500 billion to a cool $1 trillion. This sounds like a lot but we are never going to get there if we don't start. In the short term, diesel is going to make a lot more sense, but I applaud Honda for trying something new. The technology has to be developed somewhere and the infrastructure won't be developed until there is demand. My next car will likely be diesel, but who knows, less than 10 years from now, I may very well be carving canyons in my own personal water factory.
