If you get tied up in a discussion on why we should support fuel cell cars when battery cars are doing so well, take a look at this well written article in TheDrive. Just this tidbit should want to make you read it:

"Proving Freud’s narcissism of small differences, battery evangelists occasionally condemn hydrogen’s heretically-low efficiency at converting zero-carbon electricity into motion, overlooking the nature of scale. This is like an entomologist mocking mammals for lacking the strength of the mighty dung beetle — as if five-tonne cockroaches and fifty-foot lobsters are only a few mutations away."

We certainly hope the future does not entail 5-ton cockroaches!

The Bug in The Battery-Take-All Perspective Batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are widely seen as competitors, but nature can explain why there's plenty of room for both in the fleets of tomorrow.

Did Germany Just Make US Subs Obsolete? While modern-day Germany no longer has the ocean-spanning naval ambitions of its predecessors, it has become a global leader in designing small, stealthy submarines that can effectively patrol littoral waters at a fraction of the cost of nuclear-powered submarines.
