More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars?

It employs approximately 350 researchers, managers, and support staff (by comparison, Bell Laboratories before the AT&T breakup employed roughly 25,000). As for the future impact of PARC research—the sky’s the limit. This is perhaps ironic, since one vision of the office of the future was that it would be paperless. “I

94% less stored carbon at risk. 100% reduction in solid waste. Their removal kills the attached organisms and reduces the surface area available for future attachments. 90% reduction in SO x and NO x emissions. 94% less land use. 93% less wildlife at risk. —Gerard Barron, DeepGreen Chairman and CEO.

The fluid cooling system, developed using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) system, dissipates the waste heat so effectively that even at full throttle only very small temperature differences are detectable across the entire battery. The other parameter, energy density, determines the amount of energy that can be stored.

In comparison to automotive service, use in this application will entail relatively benign duty cycles, generally much less than one cycle per day with discharge durations of greater than one hour. These capabilities are expected to become even more valuable in future facilitation of higher penetrations of solar- and wind-based generation.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. Electrically-powered vehicles called plug-in electric vehicles, (PEVs), can shift us from exclusive use of gasoline and diesel to offer a pathway to a future of burning no fossil materials. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. Conclusions.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The rest of your claims are equally mind-numbingly dumb.

"The Volt continues to be one of our highest priorities among all GMs future product programs and remains on track for a November 2010 launch," spokesman David Darovitz told Automotive News. That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. So I think its a safe bet for GM.
