If worse comes to worse I'll just convert mine to run on methan or
propane, etc.
Hydrogen is a crock. It's a huge waste of energy. It take so much
energy (coal fired electricity) to make it - it doesn't equal out at
all.

I think that you missed one of the points of the article. At one
time, people thought about gasoline the same way as you seem to think
about H2. I'm not saying that hydrogen is the future fuel, but it's
in the running. Mind you, I shudder to think of people who manage to
blow themselves up refueling their cars with gasoline trying to use
hydrogen - maybe the professional pump jockey will make a comeback
due to H2 safety concerns?
BTW, my other car is a rotary-engined RX-7. I turns out that the
rotary is nearly ideally suited for burning hydrogen, due to
combustion chamber shape. Mazda has a hydrogen-powered RX-8 running
around currently.
On digest mode, so I'm a little slow...
