First Mobile Hydrogen Fueling Station Opens in Tokyo

2. Lemme see: It's a truck carrying enough for just FIVE cars to fill up? $1.6M? Are You Shitting Me?

Please.

Boy, Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron, BP, Conoco Phillips and their friends in the auto industry are sure eager to trap suckers into an expensive hydrogen habit, aren't they?

And your grade-school graphic leaves out important information, like the inefficiencies and losses at each stage and the true power requirement. Hydrogen storage, for example, requires a lot of energy and there are loses at the electrolyzer and the fuel cell. Also, that incoming o2 had better be scrubbed, or you'll have to replace the fuel cell stack.

AND, you DO know, don't you, that NATURAL GAS reforming is used for most hydrogen production, don't you?

Today, 95% of the hydrogen produced in the United States is made by natural gas reforming in large central plants.
