It is hard to believe that people still think Hydrogen power is the way to go. Fuel cell technology was an interesting idea at one time but as Ballard has shown, it's just not practical for maintenance, infrastructure and safety. Do people not know that this fuel is stored at 10,000 PSI at the filling point and on the forklift. Think what would happen if the fuel container ruptured; probably a massive massive explosion. Hydrogen is lighter than air and any leak in a warehouse would result in Hydrogen collecting at the ceiling just waiting for a spark. Hydrogen will ignite in a broad range of mixtures so a leak is a catastrophe. The waste product from a fuel cell is basically pure water which is highly corrosive. When people consider using Hydrogen don't they consider the properties?
