is a concerted effort being made to push through development of a car that emits WATER as it's waste product? Wouldn't this solve alot of problems if it were widely used? how stable is using hydrogen as a fuel source? I keep seeing glimpses of commercials and reading snipets of info on such a vehicle, but do you think it will ever become a functional reality?

eventually. right now they are TOO expensive to produce on a wide scale. still in testing mode as well. new hydrogen "gas" stations would have to be erected. since the technology is still in it's infancy, no one will rick putting up all these hydrogen stations without seeing the cars off the production line first and cars can't really make an impact without refilling stations out there. once the tech reaches fully functional and profitable state then you'll start seeing them offered in dealerships. right now they are just something on the back burner until real funds can put them over the top.

According to the movie, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" the technology for hydrogen is 20-30 years in the future. It actually requires energy be used to produce it so it isn't really cost effective.

They'll be commercial as soon as they can be mass produced in such a way as to be profitable to the company that will be sponsering them. Right now major oil companies have a vested interest in making that impossible.

I hope sooner rather than later, but Mazda's got a multi-fuel Miata that'll burn hydrogen, which is almost as good...
