Alert student Rani Lerma submitted this link on hydrogen autos.
This is the first I have read of converting a piston engine to hydrogen. Lots of vehicles run on propane which is a clean carbon gas.
Carbon is the fourth most abundant chemical element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen.
THe idea of taxing carbon as though it were some sort of penalty is as absurd as taxing sunlight yet it passed in the House Friday 219-212. This can only raise all sorts of costs for everyone in a recession brining ever more govt meddling in the economy in the never ending search for more tax revenue.
I understand high prices, but think of the jobs it will create. It only costs much now because of a lack of product. Revamping the manufacturing systems, and future designs will open large amount of opportunity.

No doubt it would, GM had bet big on hydrogen, perhaps Obama will supr that idea along

Never ending search for more tax revenue....almost sounds like an airline company.
