Gosh, yes. I'd far prefer sitting on good old non-flammable gasoline! Somehow, I suspect that those hydrogen critics who base their opposition on the flammability of hydrogen are just playing on the old Hindenburg videos. Can you imagine a dirigible filled with gasoline? Let's see: in an accident where the fuel tank ruptures, the hydrogen rises (usually harmlessly)into the atmosphere, whereas the gasoline spills to the ground and potentially incinerates the vehicle occupants, or at the very least creates a HAZMAT situation. No question. Gasoline is safer!
