    Check out their website at http://www.commutercars.com . Under the gallery section, they've got a video of it in action. Pretty neat-o.

    All you're doing really is relocating the pollution elsewhere or changing the form of the pollution.

    True, but in the end it works out more efficient: because a large power plant is designed solely to produce power, it is much more efficient and cleaner at doing it than a small combustion engine is, even taking power transport into consideration.
    We don't all have diesel generators in our back sheds to power our homes, because it is cheaper and cleaner to have a high-effeciency power plant supplying millions of homes.
