I've been contemplating the concept of sitting on top of a hydrogen
bomb while stuck in traffic. But I think that with the high concern
over the potential safety issues that the fuel storage system is
likely over-engineered to the point where reliability is compromised
by the multiple layers of redundancy. Considering that Toyota hit a
home run with the Prius, I'm less likely to be concerned over their
fuel-cell vehicle.
I think it would make a great Moosie-Mobile.
And if he blows, he blows.
