Can't get anything past you Canadians. You sure you're not from Milwaukee or St. Louis?

What an intelligent response to a set of coherent facts.

Its funny how one side of the spectrum can only settle debate by demanding silence from the opposing side. No irony there.

This is a question to my Canadian Hawk fans, although your healthcare is "free", do you have excessive wait times for Dr.s appt.'s and surgeries like knee or hip replacements?

Physical Graffiti
- I Am The Breadman

Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time. Wish I was old enough to have seen them live, but had to settle for seeing Jason Bonham this past summer. Not really the same and not really that good...

Well I guess I could be Louisiana Hawk, Had a job in Baton Rouge for 3 weeks, only redeeming part of that was having to fly in and out of New Orleans so would eat dinner there before travelling the hour and a half up to BR.

I think another question to ask is how is the access to therapy for more expensive drugs like ones that treat cancer?

Serious question too. ARe Hyrdogen cells rechargeable or do you have to buy them like fuel?

Preaching to the choir!

I read his story when he joined them at O2 Arena. He, Jason Bonham, said, "It was an awesome experience, the 3 guys were great, I played my heart out, Whole Lotta Love played and I knew it was the end of the setlist. I went in my prep. room and cried."

That is a very close 2nd for me behind Physical Graffiti. Animals by Pink Floyd is one of my favorites all time.

We pay for our healthcare through higher taxes, so it's not free. The better term is universal health care. I needed an MRI for a sore knee. When it was established I could still walk and was in more discomfort than pain I had to wait 5 weeks for the MRI, or get it done the next week at 3 in the morning. A friend had a car accident and had his MRIs immediately.

My wife had a hip replacement and had to wait 12 weeks to get the surgery. Again she was in discomfort rather than pain so she was queued behind people who needed it more.

Wait times for medical attention in Canada have been exaggerated in the US but we do have to wait longer than private clinics in the US. However in life threatening situations you receive attention immediately like you do there.

They are filled from a pump, similar to a gas pump, except the nozzle seals with the tank input. Less than 5 minutes to fill, just like gas, just pump th3 hydrogen into the existing cell.

How Do Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles Work Using Hydrogen?
Like all-electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) use electricity to power an electric motor. In contrast to other electric vehicles, FCEVs produce electricity using a fuel cell powered by hydrogen, rather than drawing electricity from a battery. During the vehicle design process, the vehicle manufacturer defines the power of the vehicle by determining the size of the fuel cell, and the amount of energy to be stored on board by the size of the fuel tank. This is different from an all-electric vehicle, where the amount of power and energy available are both closely related to the battery's size.

I think another question to ask is how is the access to therapy for more expensive drugs like ones that treat cancer?
- HawkintheD

Access is also universal and immediate. Anyone I've known who had cancer has had access to what drugs they've needed. There may be a partial cost for the drugs but I'm not sure.

What Is A Fuel Cell Vehicle?

The fuel cell vehicle features hydrogen fuel tanks (the hydrogen is a compressed gas, similar to natural gas in a natural gas vehicle), an electric motor, a battery and a power control unit. The hydrogen gas is fed into the fuel cell stack where it is combined with oxygen from the ambient air. Together, the hydrogen and oxygen create an electrochemical reaction, producing electricity that is used to power the vehicle with a byproduct of water. Just as with the gasoline engine and battery in the Toyota Prius, the power control unit in the fuel cell decides when the vehicle should be powered by fuel cell stack and when the battery should assist for maximum efficiency. The fuel cell utilizes similar hybrid technology logic developed for our hybrid synergy drive systems with the gasoline engine replaced by a fuel cell stack.

Quarters' brother was a Chicago Fireman who was nicknamed "Matches" because he was an arsonist. He lived next door to my dad in the northwest section of Chicago a couple blocks inside the city limits from Park Ridge. Their mother was the ring leader and often described as the Irish Mafia in Chicago. When my dad passed in 2006 we sold the house to a cousin of Quarters and Matches.

Great information, thank you.

In cold climates, is there any issue with water as a byproduct? I would assume the engine is warm enough to prevent freezing, but if all cars were hydrogen, would there be enough "byproduct" to cause ice on busy roads?

They're recharged by Putin through back channels. I know who you can ask for a more detailed explanation

Good call! Never considered that. Be kinda like a James Bond gadget.

I went to Hockeybuzz.com to read about the Chicago Blackhawks and looks like I accidentally typed in FoxNews.com...oh wait, this is hockeybuzz. Keep the (frank)ing politics off the board FFS. Climate change is a Chinese liberal hoax and Smoking Cogarettes doesn’t cause cancer either. Also the Earth is flat and 9/11 was an inside job. SMFH
