Having been Mr Alternative Fuels 35 years ago, it's amusing watching wet behind the ears newbies who don't understand engineering or economics "discover" hydrogen.

My boss in BP way back in 1986 worked for Shell in the early 1970s when he was keen on hydrogen. That's 50 years ago.

I explained to him why BP shouldn't chase hydrogen. Methanol made sense, for a while until oil fell and engines got better and better and cheaper and cheaper.

Today in my Camry tootling along at 16km per litre I was amazed at the improvement over my 11 km per litre 3 litre 20 year old camry just a couple of years ago. My old car was fine but obsolete because of improved efficiency. And the old one was already much better than 1986 cars.

And this Camry is 6 years old and not a hybrid which are more efficient. But much more expensive which is okay for taxis.
