amazngdrx :: Duuhbya nearly blows himself up with a Ford hydrogen car?

As seen on the video of the incident, aired on "Count Down", duuhbya did not go for the hydrogen tank with the electric cord. The Ford CEO did not rescue anyone.

Why did the Ford CEO "exaggerate" the incident? Because he doesn't support the hydrogen plugin hybrid? And wanted to create an incident that exposed the impracticality of consumers with the skill level of duuhbya filling up a car with hydrogen?

Or did he actually believe an extension cord could be plugged into a hydrogen tank? That would mean he knew as much about his own company's product as duuhbya does.

Either way Ford needs a new CEO. And a new board (they chose this CEO). But that has been obvious for decades. Does the buck stop nowhere in corporate america?

Metal hydride storage for hydrogen is actually a pretty good technology. But of course batteries are still better than hydrogen fuel cells. In total efficiency and overall safety.

Even with metal hydride there is still the huge problem of 3000 psi gas hoses, with "failsafe" triple backed up computer chip safety systems that only let the hydrogen flow when the fuel nozzle is securely connected to the fuel tank in the car.

A 3000 psi hose with hydrogen coming out of it would whip through the air killing anyone if it hit them in the head. Then the hydrogen might explode.

A serial plugin hybrid with a 25 mile range (that takes around 1000 dollars worth of batteries) will plugin safely to any extension cord and the backup generator will run on any liquid fuel from a normal gas station. It will average 10 times the mileage of a normal car and last for 500,000 miles.

If all vehicles had this drivetrain oil would last 10 times longer, enough time to develop better batteries that need no backup.

This technology is available to ford, gM, chrysler, toyota, honda, Subaru and every other automaker right now. And would be even cheaper with mass production. No dangerous, astronomically expensive, uninsurable 3000 psi gas stations needed. NASA even has trouble filling up with hydrogen.

Now do you see why I think the ford CEO created this "incident" to discredit plugin hybrids? 10% of present oil consumption in vehicles would be very bad for the oil business.

This car salesman masquerading as a CEO does not even realize that every vehicle ford Produces would run just fine with a serial plugin hybrid drivetrain. All he knows is that these alternatives threaten gas guzzling as usual, and that is a threat to his kind. Never mind that a switch to serial plugin hybrid could save any auto company, even Ford.

These wing nuts would rather bankrupt their companies and the US economy than turn on the cause of gas guzzling. It's the american way. Vrooooom!

Cutting through the mass delusional media spin. Someone needed to do it.

If a Ford executive hadn't stopped him, you might have read this:

Instead of plugging the electrical cord of a hydrogen-electric vehicle into the car’s electrical connection, President Bush inserted it into the car’s hydrogen tank. When questioned about this, the president refused to admit his mistake, and will not set a timetable for withdrawal of the cord. He claims that setting a timetable will send the wrong message, and that the car would simply wait it out. The president remains steadfast in his decision. Critics on both sides of the isle accuse the president of rushing into this without clearly thinking about the consequences of his actions. Some say that he just looks stupid. Meanwhile, sources close to the president say that he has concluded that the best way to solve this problem is not to withdraw the cord, but instead to push it in even farther. Believing that the car is equipped with an electrical connection deep within the fuel tank, the president is said to be going forward with his plan, even though advisors have thoroughly checked the fuel tank and concluded that no such electrical connection exists.

Hehehey, good stuff John. Thanks.

Now the latest is that the Ford CEO confabulated the incident as a joke to reporters.

My feeling is that somehow eco-terrorists are to blame. Maybe duuhbya will use this as an excuse to appoint an eco-terrorism czar? Is James Watt still kicking?
