as much as i agree, we have too many people. traffic is terrible in large cities and the pollution from cars isnt helping anything. we're doing better with pollution than we were in the 70's but there are tons more people now there will be more before theres less, we are using up the natural resources much faster than we should be and it will only get worse.

now i understand the "i want to drive" theory, but theres also the "we need to survive" theory, which is why there is this push towrds alternative fuels. you can say there are economic or political reasons, global warming reasons, population or consumption reasons, but the underlying theme is we need a better, reliable mode of transportation. people loved to ride their horses 100 years ago but the time moved on and people had to adapt to the world they are creating around themselves.

now if hydrogen ends up being more expensive but cleaner what will win? is it safer? who knows, there are no definite answers since its not in full market production and competition yet. but magnetism is one of the 4 forces of the universe, it is always there, its 100% predictable, it can be controlled(electromagnets) very easily, we could use hydrogen fusion powerplants to power the whole system cutting down drastically on pollution. not only is the fusion(considering it dosnt blow up, which given our track record and new technology, we're pretty good) safer than burning hydrogen you get massivly massivly enormously more energy out of it by creating heilum(nuclear fusion) with it rather than burning it.

i understand wanting to drive and to feel the power and be in control... but in 50 years with the population we have are we going to be able to drive around in traditional cars? think of how NYC is already.. its near impossible to drive there so everyone uses the subways and taxi's to get around. this would be a personal, automated taxi which you are in with everyone elses "taxi". you could go all over the country via magnocar(i just named it ) and never have to worry about accidents, gas, etc..

some of the technology is probobly 10-15 years away, but you have to look ahead, not try and get something out now as the solution that will need change by the time its fully implimented.

heh.. ranted..
