Hydrogen will be the technology of fuel cells never develop because it can not be taxed as gasoline? Gasoline, diesel, and biofuels can even wear a gallon federal tax. Federal tax on fuel than oil company profits on fuel. Revenue from taxes on fuels is a major source of revenue for the treasury.
The federal money is spent to develop biofuels rather than hydrogen fuel cells, a cleaner form of energy. We lose ourselves in a better energy source because it can not make the same amount of tax revenue than crude oil?
actually federal money is used to develop hydrogen fuel cells.
Penn State U, has made some recent progress in hydrogen production, increase performance on substrate reacted.
The industry's largest problem is to see the hydrogen is to find an organization that will effectively produce enough product to meet demand.
It can be taxed like any other gas that is sold for industrial use.
The government can tax the air if it wants so that makes hydrogen power any different.
They'll eventually have to develop it fully, because we are running out of oil. Currently, people are not willing to pay the premium required on the fuel cell where they can still buy gasoline.
I hope that the hydrogen fuel cell does not become popular for its product is water vapor / steam is labeled as a greenhouse gas - is over and contribute to greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide from carbon.
No, the taxation of fuel cell methods is not the main obstacle to developing fuel cells.
Rather, other barriers such as efficiency poor (particularly if you have to get hydrogen from water - electrolysis is not efficient).
I think the lack of real effort to develop a hydrogen economy (partly suppressed by the carbon club ") is the real obstacle if.
Taxes should come in second. No doubt the Bush administration, which has been corrupted by the carbon club "also seeks to limit the hydrogen fuel cells, despite the propaganda that the president has said.
we lose on a better source of energy because it does not benefit the oil companies and they have friends in high places. This has nothing to do with taxes.
