Reply to comment by travellerw in 'Landmark achievement': Rolls-Royce and easyJet hail successful hydrogen jet engine test by Wagamaga
I think ATM the focus should be on electrifying the things we can easily and improving the carbon footprint of the grid. Thing like hydrogen powered ships and planes are very much in the R&D phase. Maybe we can even avoid it by offsetting via reforestation and replacing short haul flights with high speed rail.

Toyota is testing hydrogen cars out in California right now. They have set up hydrogen fueling centers at gas stations in the Bay Area.

Really? Hydrogen fuel cells? I had only seen adverts for Toyota!

Their 1st car was the FCX and then the Clarity. They're building a large hydrogen generator to demonstrate commercial power supply for buildings. It's at their Torrence, CA campus. I think it produces 1MW AC and 1150KW DC

Agree %100.. Right now its time to grab the low hanging fruit. When there is none of that left, then we move on to the harder problems. If we could eliminate daily personal travel and home heating energy usage that would be HUGE!
