How close are we to fuel cell technology? We are there already in a few places and there are some test vehicles in the hands of some "private persons" (like the babe on the left from a layout at I don't like you in that Way.) There is a 133 page (but in huge print with pix) study from MIT HERE. It's an easy read and informative as hell. Plus it's in color too. That's the good news.
The bad news is this: the government collects hundreds of billions in taxes from fossel fuels and do you seriously think that liberals, for all their whining, will ever allow a drop in tax revenues?
And this: do you seriously think that Big Oil will ever allow this technology to ruin them without one hell of a fight?
There is actually one hydrogen fuel cell operation in full bloom in the middle of Central Park where a police station is 100% fuel cell powered with the huge savings advertised. The ACLU will probably move to have it closed down any day now.
Response to email: "Gasoline futures are down twenty cents, does this mean we will see gasoline prices drop twenty cents at the pump?"
A: Profit margins must be maintained at all costs. Does that answer your question, you socialist prick?

Fuel cells have several attractive features, but what is the energy source to generate their hydrogen and oxygen fuel? We consume x amount of energy per unit time, and while fuel cells may help air quality in cities, generating their hydrogen and oxygen fuel will only shift the energy consumption to another sector, with attendant energy losses from conversion. The only other advantage I see is that going downhill in a fuel cell electric car will provide some regeneration, and the cars might be smaller and generate way less power, thus saving whatever energy we now waste by leadfoot driving of large, heavy vehicles.
