LA Gas Station Gets Hydrogen Pump



so la gets to be the first town to get a hydrogen pump at a retail station. shell, which now has a visitor center so everyone can learn about this program, got to be the lucky station. it always makes me happy to see people taking action towards protecting the planet. the station is a part of a program to make alternative fuel sources more commercial. right now, the only vehicles that are hydrogen powered are being used as demonstration vehicles by motor companies. but that's okay, its a step in the right direction!

the only emission that hydrogen powered vehicles have is water vapor! how cool is that! i'm really all kinds of excited about this! it gives me hope that maybe some day, we can all be driving around in cars that aren't slowly killing us and our planet! the only problem is that the hydrogen fuel cells are kinda pricey. but who knows, maybe we can stop fighting this war that makes no sense and spend those billions on improving upon this awesome idea!

omg thats soooo cool, we need those everywhere, the only problem is that everyone would have to trade their car in or buy a new hydrogen fueled car, unless you could put an adapter on regular unleaded cars or just get it put in.
