California Drivers Can Tank Up WIth Hydrogen

Posted by timothy on from the loading-the-dice dept.

Country_hacker writes "News site TBO.com is reporting ChevronTexaco has opened a hydrogen fuel station in Chino, California, and has plans to open five more. Servicing three (or more) Hyundai SUVs, these prototype fueling stations are a part of a five-year cost-sharing program put on by the Department of Energy. Could this be the 'egg' in the alternate fuels 'chicken or egg?' scenario?"

    Wonder of wonders! I have half a BILLION DOLLARS stashed away in a Nigerian bank from the estate of the late President Mbawasa Ngimima of Upper Revolta just waiting for a way to get it out of the country. Perhaps we could work out an arrangement...
