BMW's H2R, the automaker's hydrogen-powered speedster, recently hit 185 mph at a French test track, making it possibly the fastest hydrogen-powered car ever built. (The H2R runs on a tweaked out 6.0-liter V-12, not a fuel cell.) I'm all for developing alternatives to fossil fuel, but can't we rename hydrogen? I've never been the same since that filmstrip about the Hindenberg back in 2nd grade. Maybe something like "Super-Fun Happy Juice" would be better.
