Yes hydrogen combustion rather than fuel cell, I want one of these!

Theyve been able to do this since at least 2003

I realize there are still NOx emissions associated with the heat from combustion, but I think those fuel cells require lithium like the batteries do which has its own problems, and as you say this maximizes current technology and infrastructure to clean up emissions faster

Elon musk is pretty firm that he says hydrogen is stupid, because it requires shotguns of energy to produce.

I do not agree with mr musk about this.

He lies about hydrogen to sell more batteries, then claims he's "green" - it's hilarious. Once this "Mr. Green" sold $50 propane powered weed killers to teenagers for $500 and called them flame throwers.
