Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

What is not well explained here is the politics.  In the 90s, there was a push for hydrogen cars. in 2000 Pres. Bush expanded funding for Hydrogen tech.  In 2008, Pres Obama canceled all funding for Hydrogen in favor of electric tech.  He felt electric would be quicker to market.   A lot of our development in tech has to do with who does the best dog and pony show for government funding. I mention this only because there was a huge Grant by the Obama admin to fund charging stations.  Thus a major reason for the descrepency.
