Yeah, where I live it's really a matter of transferring the emissions.  What
is worse, emissions from a car burning hydrocarbon fuel of generating
electricity using brown coal, using it to produce hydrogen to produce
electricity to power a vehicle ?  Personally I think the principle used in
the Prius makes more sense.

A very similar argument to outsourcing products & services, many people
don't look at the big picture, only the areas where they can save some money
and bugger everyone else !

Well, this may be interesting. We are scheduled to be talked at and given a
30 minute test drive in one of these a week from Saturday.

Carol has been angling for a hybrid ... This goes beyond. Only useful where
there are fueling stations, though. I suppose that's why Calif. only for
now, as the State is probably in some deal to accelerate fueling locations.

Likely why the event is right here a couple of minutes away from us.
Berkeley will probably be one of the first places where one may fuel it up.
we are sooooo Green. :-)

You never know; I see a surprising, at least to me, number of Teslas about.
One lives just a block or so away from us. I could never get past the
charging time. The Mirai fuels in five minutes of so - once you reach a
station.

I do like the careful wording, "Zero tailpipe emissions", as separating the
Hydrogen uses energy that does have a carbon emission footprint.
