Yeah, I saw that. As I've said before, I think hybrid and EV is just a step on the way to hydrogen fuel cell cars, which produce no pollution and don't require rare ingredients. You know I love my Mustang, but gas engines are just not sustainable in the long run. :(

Hey, that would be cool if they can get it to work. We already know hydrogen fuel cell powering electric motors works, they just have to work out the kinks and make it affordable. But I like this too and would like to see it work out.
