#4 Hydrogen engines are just stupid as hell.

It takes bizzillions of megawatts to draw the hydrogen out of the atmosphere or water and store it or convert it to a "metal" in a controlled space at near zero Kelvin.

It will not clean up the atmosphere because you are burning fossil fuels at a record rate to provide energy for the conversion.

Most of the enviroweinies advocating these alternate fuels forget that fossil fuels are needed to create most of them...yes I am looking at you Ethanol.
