Further commenting on this point..., the Bush plan to push for the H2 world economy, while interesting, amounts somewhat to this putting-too-many-eggs-in-one basket idea. I'm not sure that people who believe in the mechanisms of the free market would presume to know which technology should win out, over other worthy contenders. I thought that a principle of the marketplace was that it can help you understand.... it can give you feedback on the many difficult-to-understand-up-front aspects of various competing technologies and supplies. By focusing on one single idea, the Bush Administration may be advocating an idea that is worth pursuing but may also be casting aside wortwhile principles we're told they advocated. I sure would like to see increased competition in the fuel and auto propulsion industries. I'm not clear how that results from a gung-ho semi-funding of focused H2 research. Well, that's my thought for now, subject to revision.
