(Guest Post by John Murray). There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine. Proponents believe such a car could be easily refuelled with hydrogen and assumed it would have greater range than a pure all-electric car.
