Obama Cuts Funding for Hydrogen Powered Cars

Despite all the hype from Obama's regime about having to get away from reliance on that nasty oil, and the need for alternatively fueled vehicles, Obama's 2010 budget cuts funding for hydrogen fueled cars.

I didn't know this, but GM has had hundreds of hydrogen powered cars running for years now in tests, rolling up millions of miles. These miles have been on the street, by individuals - not on a test track. Other car companies have had similar efforts ongoing. The technology apparently works. For those of you in the dark on this, it's a car that runs on water ....

Wow ... a car that runs on water, and who's only byproduct is oxygen released into the air. Sounds like the perfect green method of transportation. It is very close to being production ready. The Bush Administration funneled millions of dollars into helping GM and others developing the technology.

Now, Obama has pulled all of the funding out of his budget, apparently with no explanation. Some folks at GM, and a few active eco-orgs have picked up on this, but the mainstream media and the Obama regime has been silent on it.

Why pull funding? I have no idea, but as with almost everything else this administration is doing, follow the money if you want to find out why ....
Note: The car pictured above is the Honda FCX Clarity, a current functioning hydrogen vehicle.
