For a contrary view, see Whistler, British Columbia, Canada's
experience with their hydrogen buses:
http://www.railforthevalley.com/late...cheme-fizzles/

Excerpt:
"Information obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request
by the Canadian Autoworkers’ Union 333 suggests Whistler’s 20
hydrogen fuel cell buses cost three times more for maintenance
and fuel costs than the conventional Nova diesel buses they
replaced in 2009."

Another excerpt:
"...average fuel range is below the amount specified in the
contract and is worse during the winter months, when water
in the fuel cells can freeze and prevent the buses from
starting or running efficiently."

Hahahaha! Take that, greenies!

In my city, we had a trial of Mercedes hydrogen buses. I thought they
were pretty cool. Unfortunately, they got yanked after a few years.
Presumably they were too expensive.

Those online scientific stores that sell things, I once saw at one of those stores a little toy car that runs on solar power and hydrogen. The toy car is self contained, presumebaly it will run for a very long time without needing to be refuled. Something like that anyway.

Google,,, Scientific toy car runs on solar hydrogen power
