I don't think Hydrogen is the answer. Fuel cells may be great for outer space, but here on earth there are too many problems. The infrastructure will be hard to establish. Where is your local hydrogen station? Hydrogen will require special tanks to store, and there will be No Smoking, for a mile...

Scrooge was a softy; he didn't have the courage of his convictions.

After reading all the food prep activities, I am glad to be a Guest. Eldest son is doing Thanksgiving, so all I have to do is show up. To all, Happy Thanksgiving, and a Merry Festival of Greed.

Its not a current version thing, its the version the app was written with. I was doing security on unix systems, Java was always a candidate to upgrade due to security holes, and every time I tried to upgrade, I got the Wailing and Gnashing of teeth for the app folks saying their app could not...
