Hydrogen as Fuel

http://www.almc.army.mil/alog/issues/MayJun00/MS492.htm

I think this article is relevant to what we are currently dealing with in regards to the economy and the environment. In this article, Peter Kushnir talks about liquid hydrogen being used as a fuel source and the predicted decreased production of petroleum in the future. Hydrogen's characteristics and attributes are also summarized in the article. He goes on to talk about the environmental considerations when using hydrogen as a fuel source. I enjoyed reading about this and I hope his predictions are realized!

    Through recent projects about alternative fuel sources, I came upon how hydrogen can be used as a fuel, like was said. BMW is using hydrogen as fuel in a new vehicle that can operate on both hydrogen and standard gasoline with literally the flip of a switch. German engineers, like most people in the world should be noticing today, notice that gasoline is not a steady source for vehicles to operate on (due to the rising and falling prices). With that said, they decided to use hydrogen as a fuel for their new vehicle, the BMW Hydrogen 7.
    Here is a video that I fould about the BMW Hydrogen 7.(Please ignore the introduction)
