Hydrogen Fuel Cell - very slow progress

07.09.13: An article in the Toronto Star indicates hydrogen fuel cell is not forgotten.

In my opinion, it is the only sustainable automobile fuel for the future ... once we figure out a carbon neutral manufacturing process.

Until then, electric seems to be where current development is heading.

As we all are aware, Harper will not focus on the environment and, as a result, there is no alternate fuel long-term strategy for Canada. 

Intelligent and knowledgeable people in Canada must push ahead and ignore the current government.

The fact is we have too much of the worse oil (tar sands) possible and too many entrepreneurs who are encouraged to exploit it.

The concern is we need to stop oil production world-wide immediately to minimize global warming irreplaceable impact to the planet.

This is not going to happen while so much money can be made in the short-term.

Alternate strategies need to be emphasized NOW.

By pushing ahead with hybrid automobiles, we have created a viable alternative fuel market and consumers are getting on board ... increasing the demand for alternate fuels.

GM has a site indicating their progress of hydrogen fuel. However, they are suggesting 2020 before we see any production. I feel this is an attempt to manage the advancement and ensure they (GM and Honda) control progress (similar to introduction of safety razor being much later than it could have been).  


Perhaps, this has driven other automobile manufacturers to get development underway.

Toyota is introducing a hydrogen fuel cell car at the Tokyo Auto Show later in 2013.
Toyota is indicating production in 2015!

There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon ...
