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

That battery has to be charged, and the power that charged it comes from coal for the most part. I think Japan's power is about 90% coal, and 10 nuclear, etc. What do you think a battery is? Itâ??s just a container for power and you can not get more power out than you put in. It does not matter if the battery is so large that it does not need to be recharged for 10 years, it still took 10 years worth of coal generated electricity to charge that battery in the first place!!

Batteries are not charged with coal.....batteries do not contain power either....batteries contain chemicals and they do not create energy unless there is an electrical current running through it.

By the way guys....about the hydrogen....THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, Bush just talked about going further into researching hydrogen as a alternative fuel. I just watced the state of the union...thats what is happening.
