I agree with that book.  Hydrogen is not for us, the little guys, and is
not sustainable unless sustainable power is used to make it.  At very low
efficiency.   Read Jeremy Rifkin's book 'The Hydrogen Economy'  ISBN
1-58542-193-6.   This is not technical but sociopolitical, and names
names such as Bin Laden.  There was a Hydrogen car making the rounds here
in New England,  saw her at Altwheels, NE's largest alternative
transportation show.  The trunk was full of gas tank.  No place to put
the golf clubs. Or groceries.  It would cost, in full production,  a
couple hundred grand.  A lead lugger like I got would cost less than 10%
of that, and could be built as a converted vehicle today by industry,
and is being built by individuals today in their back yards all over the
country.   Need I say more?

To see the lead luggers including my own, go to http://www.neeaa.org
Check the pix, follow the links. (Some day we may have a website devoted
to Etraks and it too would be a link,  my Eaddy could set up a reciprocal
link for it.

We, the Etractor people, own and are using part of the hardware already
that will be universally necessary in a future that has a non renewable
depleting natural resource (petrofuel)  selling in a sellers market for
devaluing US dollars.  This new book may help the nontechnical vast
majority of the public to understand that.  *IF* they can away from their
TV sets long enough to read a book.  Which this writer doubts.

Darryl, you ought to seek out a way to get that book into every school
and public library in the world.
