Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hit the Road

caffeined writes "Well, it looks like Honda is doing a real test of their fuel-cell car. A family in California is renting the car for $500/mo. Honda is charging them so that they take it seriously - an executive explained that if it were free they might not get the kind of feedback they want. If someone is paying for something and they're not happy - then you're going to hear about it. This is apparently the first fuel-cell car on the road anywhere in the world, according to Honda."

    "but rather their own panic coupled with gravity."

    How many times must you geeks be told? Gravity has never killed anyone in the history of mankind. It's the drastic change in momentum caused by the earth stopping their free fall. And if you paid attention to frames of reference in Relativity, you would know that the ground in fact accelerated upward and collided with them.

    Also it should be mentioned that the oil industry owns stock in these American automobile companies so they have a financial incentive to create gas guzzlers.

    Good thing they don't own stock in the Japanese car companies that will be competing with them ... and that they'll ... have to ... imitate one day...

    What was your point again?
