The attendant piece: yes, I can imagine one might not get the cream of the crop as fuel attendants. I'm more thinking that there might be a requirement to make it a proper trade in order to make re-fuelling with hydrogen safe enough, should it ever be rolled out to the domestic car market. I must admit, I'm dubious enough about selling LPG direct to the car-buying public! I'm pretty sure there will be a decade or more of experience from the haulage industry before anyone tries to sell hydrogen powered cars direct to Joe Public, it will be much easier with professional and regulated drivers of course, so the fuel industry will be able to work out the acceptable risks. When I think back 50 years to when I was a child though, many of the risks we took with fuel would seem bizarre today. We still had town gas (just about, the change over to natural gas was happening), kerosene (paraffin) was sold at hardware stores into any old container the customer had (probably by a chap smoking a Craven A), every town had a coal yard with a haze of dust hanging over it, people burned coal on open fires, people smoked in their cars (even at gas stations, even whilst filling their cars)... in the light of all that do I think the risks of distributing and storing hydrogen are unacceptable: no I don't.
