Let me ask the question slightly differently. Would there be an
advantage to EVDL members to include FCEV along with BEV discussions on
the same list? Would this advantage outweight any disadvantages?
In my opinion, the advantages are worth it. While current technology
shows that batteries are a more efficient medium than hydrogen, I think
it's worthwhile to keep informed about progress and new understandings.
I, personally, would rather do this on one list (or forum, etc.) than
multiple. On the other hand, if the bandwidth degenerates into feuds,
we may have to go the route of EV racing discussions - banned.

Subject: [EVDL] EVDL biz: H2 and FCEV discussion
The original EVDL charter, written by our founder Clyde Visser back in
the
internet's dim past (1991) says, "the energy storage device [for an EV]
...
can [be a] ... fuel cell ..."
But not too far into this long history of the EVDL - I think about 1995
or
so - we had a pretty detailed discussion about discussion of FCEVs and
H2.
We even took a vote, and folks decided that we'd minimize FCEV and H2
discussion.
Was that a mistake? Is it a mistake to continue on that road? The folks
who say that H2 is the way forward surely think so.
Well, if it is, we're still making it today. (Hint, hint.)
You know, one of the huge advantages of the internet is that, unlike
broadcast spectrum, it's effectively just about infinite. Unlike
newspapers
and magazines, it's dirt-cheap to make your voice heard, at least so
far.
There's room for lots more internet discussion forums like this one.
Somewhere there has to be a place where H2 and FCEV enthusiasts can
congregate. If not, it's almost trivial to start one.
Thus I will refer y'all to the EVDL conventions:
