Every car I have ever owned has been foreign but made in America. I'm still driving a Datsun/Nissan these days. I've had my truck for 28 years now and it's still going strong. Very little maintenance is required on these vehicles. I had a Datsun 240z as my first car. I had it for ten years before it was used to buy my next car. The third car I owned is the one I'm still driving. I like to keep my vehicles for as long as I can. As long as it gets me from point A to point B and hauls my boat I'm good.
Infrastructure was a problem back in the days when people rode horse and that didn't stop the model T from being sold to Americans.
Hydrogen is just as safe as Gasoline IMHO. There are ways to store the hydrogen fuel where it's as safe a storing gasoline in a gas tank. Remember the Pinto and it's exploding gas tanks?
And they make solar energy stations that can make Hydrogen out of water now. These use the sun to split the water molecule.
This will take off first in Japan which can easily put in the infrastructure. Since they learned the hard way that Nuclear Energy is big trouble they will go green before a lot of others. They are predicting that many American Manufactures will go with the Fuel Cell cars and most all of them area already playing around with the fuel cells in their cars.
But yes I have to agree with George that we will need to develop the infrastructure to make it work. But I think if we can put a man on the moon we can do this too.
But it' make take a while before American's buy fuel cell cars in mass.
