Mythbusters Busted

Just because someone calls themselves a scientist doesn't make it so.

The Discovery Channel show "Mythbusters" likes to debunk science with some pretty shaky experimentation.

Take, for example, their claim that hydrogen is useless as a sustainable fuel source. [Episode 53]

Don't tell that to the Department of Energy and their work on Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles. [Source: Department of Energy]

To say nothing of the University of Hertfordshire's Sustainable Energy Technology Centre (SETC) that is developing engines that run assisted by electrolytic hydrogen (and recently produced the first Formula Student hydrogen-powered racing car) sponsored by ITM Power, a leading innovator in the emerging hydrogen economy.[Source: Univerity of Hertfordshire; ITM Power]
