Interesting how they bring hydrogen bombs into the discussion, considering there is no comparison whatsoever.

It appears that both the cars and the train are using the same technology - the hydrogen is used to make electricity which is then used to power the vehicle.   The concept has been around for a while, and has even been used for submarines.

Just read about how cars use Hydrogen as a fuel and German first hydrogen-powered train. Any experts here that can explain how these both works? Similarity? Differences?
