Yeah, so like, I was SUPER EXCITED about hybrids, because my college has a couple hybrid busses and I was like YAY SOCIAL CHANGE.
Until several of my Materials engineering friends made fun of me and told me about the process to make those engines, which is like the use of SUPER CAUSTICS which seep into the soil and kill our drinking water. Which is like, guaranteed death.
So, um, yeah, I really don't endorse them.
AND YES FUEL CELL STUFF I USED TO FOLLOW, DUDE, BECAUSE I WANTED TO WORK FOR NASA UNTIL THEY BROKE MY HEART!
It's funny, because my history prof is a big hippie (he is, but I forgive him because he's not a STUPID hippie) and we're learning about steam engines and shit now and how out of the options, the one that involved you basically sitting on top of an explosion stuck.
And to be fair, while gas is explosive, hydrogen is what used to make up zeppelins and you know how those ended up. At the very least, you can't shake that kind of reputation.
