Flame Retardant Fuel

Thanks to snoman for this submission from “The Green Room” debate about moving to a hydrogen economy.

Yes, I belive that Hydrogen is a great alternative but since Hydrogen is so flamable what the heck happens when you crash!!

Easy. All cars would be equipped with a pressurised canister of petroleum that could be used to extinguish any unruly hydrogen fires.

    Golly and Gosh. Mr. Lee’s ingenuity could have saved the Hindenburg. Now why didn’t the Germans think of that?
