What will come out of Copenhagen?

[theoldwolf]

John Gibbons of the Irish Times gives us 6 reasons Why the world won't cope for long.

His thesis is that "a political fudge that ducks science is the likeliest outcome at Copenhagen." I submit that if you spoonerize that, you'll be closer to the truth.

I also think that hydrogen-cell tech is best. I won't buy a hybrid ever, because you're not really doing anything to help, particularly with those nickel based batteries the Prius has.

If I want an alternate fuel vehicle, I'm gonna wait until hydrogen is more mainstream. Honda is taking a step with its FCX Clarity.

I saw the Clarity on Top Gear, which was actually my first clue that the technology is ... well, in production, actually. The TG guys seemed quite favorably disposed toward it. (I want one.)

I think I saw the Clarity on Motorweek.

You realize that fuel cells require large amounts of platinum in their manufacture? Don't expect an affordable one any time soon.

No, I wasn't aware of that.
