The U.S. Department of Energy plans to invest in technology for fuel cell cars such as Honda's FCX, pictured at this year's New York International Auto Show.

absolute idiocy...

let's see here:

invent a new type of engine that uses fuel from the exact same source. Oh, and make sure it goes through an extra processing step before it enters your tank.

Wow that's great. tastes the same and less efficient!

Once you understand how absurb this "next generation leap" really is, you'll realize quickly how OVERWHELMINGLY POWERFUL the oil cartels really are. The U.S. government has absolutely no power against them. None. Good luck earth. You'll need it...

It's about time this administration does something inteligence for a change. They have totally been oblivious to the people needs and wants. Gas Price is going through the roof at least in California --- yet this US government is totally silent about conservation or new sources of energy to het the price down....
Japan via Honda and Toyota are doing great with the Hybrid engine ---- where is Detroit????
Maybe we the people have to take Democracy lesson from the people of Ukraine??????

Angry from Blue State.

Fuel Cell Fueling Supported By Gasoline

I agree these cars while offering some hope, DO NOT remove dependancy for Gasoline at all.

Its true yes, the Oil Cartels are in complete control here. They are of course top political sponsors and the reason why the electric car (which was invented in the 50's) never became a reality.

Ill say it again, all Fuel Cell cars do is take the gas burning out of the car... but it still gets burned in the process of fueling the car.
