in-car hydrogen fuel tanks that can be built at a realistic price
My biggest quibble with the original
Channel4 report is that, given the ovarall view-point of the piece, and the general tone of this final sentence, he should have said, "in-car
energy storage systems that can be built at a realistic price".
That way the goal includes better batteries, better fuel heating systems,
and hydrogen storage, plus technologies that haven't even been thought of yet!

The key is getting India and China to follow. Leading by example will be crucial.
I absolutely agree!

I've got no problem with "leading by example". Coersion and forced payment for 'theoretical damage' is, well, sick.
I also agree here. But where did you see "Coersion and forced payment for 'theoretical damage' "? Sounds like something from one of the dozen or so other philosophical and policy discussions I'm following around here, but I don't think I saw it in this thread. Those 3 concepts lead to far too many "slippery slopes" when you ask "...And then what?"
Anyway, the *people* of India and China (and developing countries around the world, who all need more energy every year) (and the US, for that matter) ARE NOT STUPID. They do, however, have many needs and desires to balance every day, just like you and I. When more-economical (in money
and time), more-efficient energy sources are available, they
will be used.
