What a poorly written article."Disproving" hydrogen by setting up "straw men" that have nothing to do with reality. No one is looking at running cars on compressed Hydrogen or shipping Hydrogrn around like gasoline.
Fuel cell cars are already being built, and not exploding.... Ford just unveiled a fuel-cell SUV at the most recent auto show. Only challenge is cranks like this so called Dr. Zubrin.
As for biofuel, already half of the corn corp is going to it and it barley makes a dent in the demand for gasoline. Even if 100% of the corn crop is used it won't work.
Zubrin is just like that astronomer, Simon Newcomb, who proved with mathematics that it was impossible for a heavier then air machine to be built, two weeks after they already did it....
Thanks, I needed my laugh for the day.
Back to the real world of science and engineering.

- I guarantee you, hydrogen is not feasible. (n/t)
- Not if its done the way the aerospace industry does it.
- Here is where you are wrong....
- Again, you don;t get it.
