Childish insult. That is all you have. I try to help you.

What war, Sybil??
Do you know what a hybrid is, Sybil?? It's a gasoline powered car! You are also denying your own posts.
DON'T TRY TO DENY YOUR OWN POSTS!

Lie. You don't try to help anybody, Sybil.

Trump initiated a military operation in Iran.
I thought that last year's bombings on Iran were "a war" that would lead to "boots on the ground"?
I thought that the Maduro capture operation was "a war" that would lead to "boots on the ground"?
Yes, gas prices have increased recently. That always happens when people start worrying about oil supply. They will come back down (and President Trump is already taking action to mitigate the effects of such fear mongering).
Your car is an unnecessarily heavy ICE car.

EV people are not the same as hydrogen people. I never backed it. I hoped it would work, though.
Given that Hydrogen is a straight conversion from electricity it is interesting in the matter of the drive to electrify everything, and I doubt that there is a hydrogen thread though I never looked.

Unlike hydrogen, almost all of those problems are solved using anhydrous ammonia. Zero carbon. ICE engines run on it no problem. Making it is relatively easy to do from natural gas. It's already in widespread production as a fertilizer. Unlike hydrogen, it is easily stored and it's really no more dangerous to handle than gasoline.
Toyota Takes Aim at EVs With Ammonia Engine
Toyota has teamed up with Chinese automaker GAC to produce the world's first ammonia-powered passenger car. So why do we look so concerned?

Liar. Your "hybrid" is an overweight ICE vehicle.
I guess you didn't bother to check the "rest of the story" because you prefer to watch videos posted to the internet by idiots like you.
Aberdeen replaced the hydrogen buses with electric buses since the EV technology has progressed to the point where it is cheaper to use than other types of buses.
Why has the world's first hydrogen double-decker fleet failed?
The multi-million pound project in Aberdeen was meant to be the future of clean public transportation.

Battery capacity and efficiency has come on enormously, meaning electric buses can be charged at incredible speeds and cover very long distances.
They cost more than the diesel equivalent, but running costs are very low, meaning operators are saving millions from the moment the vehicles hit the bus lanes.
Hydrogen, by contrast, is expensive to produce. It takes a huge amount of green electricity to create the fuel using a process called electrolysis.
And while it has the advantage that the bus can be refuelled in a matter of minutes rather than hours, that premium is now perceived as not worth paying.
It seems you daily like to prove you don't bother reading your sources. You certainly seem to have never actually had to handle anhydrous ammonia with your silly claim that it is like gasoline when it comes to handling it. People often get a little gasoline on themselves at the pump. Try getting a little anhydrous ammonia on your skin.Unlike hydrogen, almost all of those problems are solved using anhydrous ammonia.

From your source -
And while ammonia is typically stored similarly to propane, its exposure to the human body is far more dangerous than say gasoline or diesel. Sure, it won’t combust like petroleum-based fuels, but holy hell is it corrosive and downright dangerous for the eyes and lungs. So we can’t (and don’t want to) imagine what a car crash between a couple of ammonia-powered cars would look like for all parties involved…

Farmers do it all the time.
If they can do it, so can the average person.
Do you see the warning on the side of the tank?Farmers do it all the time.
If they can do it, so can the average person.
Just because some people can do something doesn't mean everyone can. Farmers do electrical work. Does that mean everyone can do their own electrical work?

What ME oil reliance? The USA is BY FAR the largest oil producer in the world. We don't need any oil from the ME.

Other than California importing some due to their self-inflicted stupidity, the US doesn't get oil from the ME. Almost all of it goes to Europe and Asia. The issue is that oil is a commodity and commodity markets largely all have the same pricing on those commodities. So, if the price goes up in Europe and Asia, then the price rises in the Americas as well.
