Probably for a few hundred enthusiasts in Japan, but kinda cool anyway.

    A Hydrogen-powered RX-8 would be absolutely awesome. Much cooler, cleaner and more fun than a Toyota Prius!



    I've flown in a Hydrogen-filled balloon. Might as well drive a Hydrogen-powered car.



    Hydrogen is the way of the Future!

    Um is the hydrogen derived from water or oil?

    natural fuels--otherwise, it is too difficult...for now...



    this technological future depends on advances in compressing the hydrogen from a clean source. for now, it is impractical. but...we need to keep trying if the world is ever to get out of this damn oil craze, ie wars for stupid reasons.

    Leave my anus alone! You'll only find methane.



    Seriously though, I can't imagine mining Jupiter would be practical, but there is no reason we can't use wind to generate all the hydrogen we need. I believe someone once worked it out that you could put enough turbines in the deserts of Nevada to power the whole country.

    A hundred years ago flying 100s of people at a time over oceans wasn't practical but that changed. Cheap space travel will make it practical.
