World's fastest hydrogen car
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...mw_hydrogen_dc
BMW's H2R, the world's fastest hydrogen-powered car, was unveiled at the Paris auto show on Wednesday. The car is capable of exceeding 300 kilometers (185 miles) per hour.
Has anyone heard anything else about this? This ---- is crazy! Do you think this is the future?

Ah yes the actual motor only produces water as exhaust. However, the refinement process to get the pure hydrogen that powers that engine requires alot of power and causes more pollution than a gasoline car based on the big picture.
Actually, your not really burning the hydrogen so the only biproduct is water, there is no carbon dioxide produced since there isn't a combustion reaction.
