GM has a long history of "concept" cars that never make it onto the roadway. Unfortunately, times up. Its time for a chain of H stations and this car (or something similar)... If it was humanly possible to price it right, could leapfrog Toyota and get them back in the game. Need gubberment help for the H2 stations, and perhaps the catalyst (buy or rent from the government stockpile?). Now that its gubberment motors, perhaps someone is thinking about this... same pockets and all. Certainly would be cheaper than resource wars in the mid east, Canada or Brazil. Not sure I would like to trust my life to a GM computer doing the steering. The accelerator controls on the steering wheel seem like they might get a bit tiring. Interesting ideas though, especially the power plant. Could double as a back up generator for your house if configured properly for same.

This makes my imagination soar. Great stuff. A couple of thoughts... Stated fuel is Hydrogen from seawater, waste product is water. Let's see...2 Hydrogens + 1 Oxygen = Water. Use one hydrogen ion for fuel that leaves 1 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen If memory serves, "OH" in chemistry is a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group or a base (i.e. not an acid). So, question one: What happens to the OH group when one H atom is freed for the fuel. Question two: Can we drink the "so-claimed" waste product of water? Question three: two hydrogen must be combusted with the H in the fuel to make water. What is the source of the 02, free atmospheric or on board compressed? Haps.
