What, that one with a 40-mile range?

40 miles on the batteries. 600 miles on the fuel tank.

Whats important is Energy per unit of Mass and Energy per unit of Volume, H2 is VERY superior to Carbon in Energy/Mass but inferior in Volume/Mass when in a Gaseous state, if the Hydrogen is Liquefied its again superior but the super-cold temperature requires a complex, heavy and expensive system and the total systems is again inferior to Carbon in terms of practicality. The Holy-Grail of Hydrogen storage is a solid substance which can absorb a large amount of Hydrogen and release it on demand all within safe operating temperatures, such a device would be superior to Carbon in both Mass/Energy and Volume/Energy while being cheap and practical.

The Holy Grail is Mr Fusion.

That's even funnier given that at work we use a suite of products that are named "MR-(purpose of product"

Shell opens combination hydrogen and gasoline station in LA

*Blog entry plus press release from Shell*

This is not really what I'm talking about as it appears to be a new station, rather than an existing station, but I'll take it nonetheless.

From the story I saw on TV, it looks as if they just added a hydrogen pump off on one side of an existing station.

BTW: Jamie Lee Curtis was set to be the first person to take possession of one of these new cars.
