I can just see a frisky grizzly gets it on with robo-shebear and gets a nasty shock to his nether regions.

I like robots, but if that happened to me, I'd do what I could to destroy them!

It wouldn't be that difficult to alter the infrastructure from petrol/diesel to methanol and we wouldn't have the issues with compressed hydrogen.
