An Anonymous Coward writes "Nice article from cars.com detailing a panel dicussion with reps from Chrysler Group, Ford, General Motors and American Honda agreeing that hybrid powertrains and hydrogen fuel cells are the future of automotive propulsion, and discussing their companies' different approaches in both areas."

    [Refering to what includes Hydrogen] Examples include petroleum, natural gas and biomass -- a nice way of saying plant and animal waste.

    Finally! I can power my DeLorean off a rotting banana peal, coffee grounds, and a quarter can of malt beer.

      Lol. Now you wont have any reason to complain when your neighbor's dog craps in your yard, just shovel the mess into your hydrogen-extracter and get enough for a quick outing to the pizza parlor. Make it a trip out of town if you catch the dog and toss it in too.

    Is what I think you're looking for. I saw the same article-- now THAT is a hybrid that would sell in the states. 400hp at 42mpg!!!

    Now, cut it in half and make me one that gets 200hp at 84mpg and I'm sold. :)
