It's important to understand that you are not being attacked; your idea is. No matter what propulsion system the Hummer (or any other over-sized vehicle) uses it will always and forever be an absolute pig for using more resources than necessary to be created (you simply do not need a 7,000 pound vehicle to move your human-sized ass around) and to move around (even if it ran on solar power it would require an inexcusable amount of solar panels and batteries to function as compared to realistic vehicles).

Hydrogen fuel cells are also a touchy subject as the AAMA keeps going on and on about it and marketing it despite it being a far off, under-delivering and tertiary idea that a lot of resources are being dedicated to instead of more pragmatic options.
