No Hydrogen supply, no hydrogen car, makes sense. But, they did solve the problem of Hydrogen storage using nano technology and their BMW7 engine is able to switch anytime between gasoline and hydrogen. If the terminals materialize, watch out for the next Hydrogen Option in BMW7, in a few years! BMW may be making the right commercial decision. No Hydrogen supply, no hydrogen car, makes sense.

We better start getting our domestic energy act together right now or this country is going to fail in the next 5 years! More study will not change the facts! We need to get at the real sweat work.

I'm glad to see BMW open their eyes... and realize the fundamental infrastructure is already in place for hybrid electric cars. Just add a few large batteries or capacitors to each station for high-peak times... and voila! Rather than starting from scratch by developing a prohibitively expensive hydrogen distribution infrastructure and storage system across the country (and let's not even talk about the high costs of making hydrogen and the efficiency loss of converting original hydrogen source to energy in motion.) Hopefully more people will see where the real potential is.. Ha.. I’m glad to see BMW open their eyes… and realize the fundamental infrastructure is already in place for hybrid electric cars.
