The federal governments job is to promote "useul sciences..." Bush did. He shouldn't have
provided monies, but he did. I never suggested Bush was a conservative.
They did make cars that ran on hydrogen. From what I understand, they are far superior to the stupid Volt/Leaf/hybrid nonsense. In fact, Toyota still plans to market them.

individuals. The States cannot separately make effectual
provisions for either of the cases, and most of them have
anticipated the decision of this point, by laws passed at the
instance of Congress.
