Hydrogen slogan contest voting begins; satire didn't make the cut
Surprisingly (j/k), none of the satirical and funny submissions that AutoblogGreen readers posted in the comments of our original post on the California Fuel Cell Partnership's t-shirt contest made it to the final four. Instead, we have the potential winners seen above:
- Change. It's in the air.
- Ahead of the pack with a fuel cell stack.
- Designed with the world in mind.
- Say hello to progress. Say Hy to to the future.

Oh oh oh oh.... that would be great
"Hyrodgen, the fuel of 10 years from now.
.... and from now.
.... and from now."

Greg: you can still rework the title into a movie: "2015: The Hydrogen Odyssey"
Frank [suffocating]: "Change is in the Air, but I can't smell it"
Hal: "Damn hydrogen pipes are leaking again"

Wow, the hydrogen revolution is only five years away? I've never heard that one before!

Blencoemight as well have said "Hydrogen, always a decade away".
Suprised that the H2 zealot didn't realize his slogan would be taken as a sniggering comment on the eternal delays for H2.

H2 is a silly way to store electricity.

What's "in the air" is all the CO2 released from cracking fossil fuels into hydrogen.
It shouldn't come as a great shock that the oil companies are in the oil business. Sure... they'll reform -- they'll reform the same dirty fuels into hydrogen, and bill you twice for their trouble.

"Change, it's in the Air", just not on this planet.
"Change, it's in the Air" -- my Clarity's carbon fiber tank is leaking again. Got a light?

What is up with the huge hydrogen car between two normal cars. How about:
Hydrogen. So efficient, you can drive a Hummer again!

I was thinking
"Introducing the H2 FCV SUV, the perfect vehicle for conspicuous consumption"
or
"I can afford a million dollar car, so yes I DO own the danged road!"
Criticism of the graphics has caused them to call for a redo. The H2 pump looks too much like the reviled and expensive gasoline pumps, and the "FCV" supported by many small figures recalls 40 years of taxpayer subsidies for a handful of vehicles. I don't know what new graphics they will use for their propaganda campaign, but it will likely cost a bundle.

I don't understand them, i said 2 weeks ago to start experimenting small hydrogen gas production machines, im sure it cost next to nothing to produce hydrogen gas from water because it's not the electricity that is stored in the tank but actual mass from water, don't listen to the black pr from chris m and other chatters here that try to convince you that you are a fool if you discover how to propel your car forward without huge fueling cost and pollution, remember billions of dollars are collected each 2 minutes by big-oil, paid pr politicians and chatters, journalists, scientists, car manufacturers, social cowards, death wish folks, guilty motorists, victims of life, incompetants car technicians and mechanics and engineers, toyota share holders, car guy having paid extra for supreme gasoline 92 octans. These folks amount to 99.8% of the population and are not ready to admit they are stupids, tasteless, criminals, emptied, polluted, discording with trees and fishs and babies and womens and other races. They even start with the help of gm and high financial circles to cut trees and hack the food chain to burn it thereafter for no real reasons.

Gorr, lighten up for once, buddy, and come up with a funny slogan. Come on, you can do it!
Since you kept talking about producing kilos of hydrogen at home for 2-4 cents of electricity with your magic eletrolyzer, how about "Say HHO to my little friend!", oh wait I mean "the Future" ;)

Gorr, the California Fuel Cell Partnership is a promotional group, they don't do research or development (though some of their members do), nor do they sell H2 vehicles (though some of their members might, someday, for a high price).
They aren't paying any attention to you, as your posts sound even more delusional than their H2 propaganda.
