Just in my lifetime, I've heard the same rap over and over. Alternative energy. What a load of crap. Politicians talk it up, all the crap about "new" hydrogen-fueled cars, etc. What's new about it? Hydrogen
fuel cells have been in use since the 60's in the space program. They provide power and water for the shuttle crews. This is a proven technology, but all we hear is how they're working on it. Fact is, it won't happen til it's cheaper than oil. Til then, they just pull our strings and lie about it.
