Anyone here looking into starting a Hydrogen Fuel station with the recent releases of GM and Honda's Fuel Cell vehicles? I have checked into it myself, and you can get a station going for relatively small amount. The next question I have for you is this: If you have looked into building one, do you think that personal (home models) hydrogen fuel systems will crush having an actual grid? Throw me some of you thoughts or ideas!!

Jump to Postit is also created with electricity and water, which is quite eco-friendly (depending on how the electricity is generated)!
Not commercially. Too expensive to get anywhere near a decent production volume.
And you need large nuclear power stations to get enough electricity, which aren't being built because the greenies don't …
Jump to PostThe largest loss of energy is in the voltage drop across the electrodes of an electrolytic cell. A matter of physics, nothing you can do about it. It simply means that over 60% of the electrical energy will be wasted as heat.
On top of that hydrogen is one …
Jump to PostTalking to my physics professors and fellow students, lithium ion battery electric cars or compressed air powered cars are much more feasible than hydrogen cars. They use electricity more directly.
Hydrogen fuel is a convenient buzzword for politicos. An easy thing to sell to an uneducated public. Oh, we …
Jump to Postand you'd need to have a very long 380KV powerlead to plug that car into the electrical grid to power that hydrogen generator ;)
Jump to PostI wonder what the ecnomics of driving an all electric car are. Electricity is certainly not cheap, close to $0.1 per kwh in LA.
Then there is the capital cost of the battery, Lithium Ion would be the best for size and weight, but might add close to $30,000 …
