In about a year we'll be using hydrogen cars.

Thats my prediction.

all i know is they better not make me have to put all this smog shit on my car

we r gonna cut the oil usage so we dont have to lick the balls of the middle eastern countries.

ummm hydrogen is super explosive

Not possible.

Plus Hydrogen is not a solution yet. 95% of the worldâ??s hydrogen is produced from natural gas, which is of course just another fossil fuel. So until the very complicated and costly methods of producing hydrogen from things like solar power is achieved, hydrogen fuel cell cars will solve none of our problems.

Electric vehicles are getting much more popular, but even they haven't really taken off and they've been around for years!

Electric cars also will not solve any problems because the majority of electricity in the world is produced by burning coal. Again this is just a trade off from one fossil fuel to another. Until we have an infrastructure than can produce hydrogen and/or electricity from non fossil fuel sources like solar or wind it will do nothing to improve the situation. And the creation of large scale methods to make hydogen and electrisity from solar or wind are 20 years and billions and billions of dollars away.

Bio-diesel is the only short term option and seems to be the one no one talks about. I donâ??t know why.

that is so true about the bio-diesel. seems to be very over looked even though it reduces pollution. except for nitrogen oxides.

Considering that the growth of technology is exponential, i think in a year we will see it. In 5 years we will be testing the ability to travel into other dimensions in order to get to mars in 3 days. http://news.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=16902006

Since the growth of technology is exponential....in about 40 years it will only take 1 year to get into a new generation.

More importantly it is the ONLY non-fossil fuel power source any country in the world can readily tap without the creation of a major new infrastructure!

well I guess that is why it will not be around here for a few years :D too many problems that could arrise so whatever, keep paying 2.50 per gallon for gas
