The Hygrogen Fuel engine that BMW are throwing millions at is a far
better proposition .. waste product is only water ... Hydrogen is easy
to produce


It is? Look again. Takes a lot of energy like oil. That is why Bush likes
it.

and not a fossil fuel.


Fossil fuel to produce it. Hydrogen is not in a natural state, it has to be
cracked to get it.

No heavy batteries to crat about (with dubious life)


Modern batteries, Lith Ion, Lith poly as exceptional. Toyota give a 8 years
guarantee on the battery set.

They already have concepts up and running ... filling time at pump is
very fast,


One in Iceland apparently.

and the liquid hydrogen is stired in what sound like a
sponge, and is safer than petrol in the event of a collision.


Don't let the policeman hear you.

Knowing BMW it will have a HUGE price penalty,


And painted black.

as just about
everything is an extra (and very expensive extra at that)
