Ugh, another "the oil companies rule the land" mindset. Honestly, do you really think the government is biased against alternative energy sources? Is THAT why they openly support hydrogen fuel cell technology? Fortunatly, the chemical there can be bought from just about any store where children's science kits are sold, and is ridiculously cheap to make, yes MAKE, and buy. The fuel cell makers won't be able to hold a monopoly on the technology OR the ingrediants for it, nor will it even be possible, AT ALL, to artificially raise the prices of that. That would be about as hard as raising the price on water. Though, a few companies will market their's as "better". :D
(I wonder how long it will be before rival electric companies start saying their electricity is better than the other guy's...)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
