Specifically those are carbon capture and sequestration and advances in renewable energy sources. Both of these are listed among the 4 basic goals to making H2 a viable vehicular energy source. But if we have both of those, then the need for H2 fuel cars is decreased substantially. Additionally, the advancement in batteries of late (and certainly I need to do more research into the topic) may have a huge impact on our automotive industry. Toyota I think just released a big breakthrough in hybrid technology via lighter, yet more efficient batteries. Of course battery technology has been driven by cell phones and computers (minus mega-government projects -- or at least I want to believe as much). Anyway, you know how we teach our kids to learn from their mistakes? Well OPEC and the oil industry learned. Over-eager supply growth after a price spike leads to a price crash. Why should they change? We're the ones who suck. The H2 economy is looking like a ruse to develop other technologies.

Because of this, credentials are not always needed to be right. In my personal case, I have not made my own BioDiesel, nor have I tried to create H2 gas in quantity. That doesn't mean I'm any less right (not saying absolutely that I am right) about by support for alternative fuels, or in my arguements against a hydrogen economy. After all, now-a-days, all you need is some background (in this case - engineering) and a hook that your background may be able to provide insight on. So I say go for it. I'll write a blurb for your back cover...

Unfortunately, I still probaby lack the credentials to be worthy publish. Then again, lack of credentials doesn't stop most people.
