Which reminds me: I saw a hydrogen-fueled bus on the freeway in San
Jose a few weeks ago.  It was one of those buses with the exhaust
pipe up at roof level, and the first thing I noticed was the big
white plume of vapor coming out of it.  Something I've never seen
addressed by proponents of hydrogen fuel is what the effect of 
hundreds of thousands of vehicles pumping that amount of water
vapor into the atmosphere of a major urban area would be.
