vehicle IS an electric vehicle without a battery pack. It takes
all the benefits of EV's with non of the drawbacks. You get
torque and reliability, while also getting fast <5 minute
refueling similar to a fuel pump and lighter weight than a
battery pack.  The only problem is infrastructure and how to
produce hydrogen inexpensively. Nuclear power plants emit
thousands of tons of hydrogen as waste. It could be captured and
delivered to hydrogen stations just like gasoline.  Of course
we'd need more than the 104 nuclear power plants we have
operating in the USA today to maintain a steady supply of
hydrogen to eventually replace petroleum fuel. But with the 104
plants we have, we could likely provide sufficient fuel for at
least 50,000 hydrogen EV's.  Hydrogen EV's are a great stand-in
until battery technology matures, becau
