The reason everybody is on the Hydrogen bandwagon is because Hydrogen cars are true zero-emission cars.
But I seriously doubt anyone has ever done a scientific study to test the emissions that will be created by Hydrogen production facilities.
I think it all boils down to America's stubborn pride. A German invented the diesel engine. So America must invent and use a different engine (fuel cell).
Europe has been using biodiesel for years. But America is way behind in the curve. We'd rather use gas-electric hybrids (which still use a petroluem-based fossil fuel, hardly an answer to our dependence on foreign oil) and now Hydrogen vehicles.
Another small niche is Natural Gas and Propane powered vehicles. Again, these are fossil fuels. A band-aid for a broken leg approach.
The only solution is biofuels. Ethanol and Biodiesel. Natural fuels made by nature, and the least harmful to nature.
