A 17 year old girl in Massachusetts had her name plastered all over the news, newspapers and online articles after being involved in a fatal car accident. Having her name released caused bullying and taunting at school and unwanted attention from more press. Without the permission of her or either of her parents, did these news sources have the legal right to release her name?

Answer
Yes they can. It's public knowledge

What ever happened to hydrogen powered cars?

ROFLsaucer

In 2007 and 2008 there was all this news and now nothing.
In know Honda and Chevy where planning on making one and i believe BMW actually made one.
Its seems like there focus now is hybrids.
I was planning on holding off on buying a new car until they were released but it looks like hydrogen cars aren't coming any time soon.
Will hydrogen fuel cell cars ever come?

Answer
The are not cost effective at this time. Without having most of electricity gennerated by alternative energy, theer really is no point.

There is no abundant natural source of hydrogen fuel, It has to be made from natural gas, or by electrolysis using electricity.

So for the most part, we use hydrogen like a battery, for energy storage.

Half of the electricty in the United States is generated by coal. So, like an electric car, it would be mostly powered by fossil fuels at this time.
