Truckers Choose Hydrogen Power

hipernoico writes to tell us Wired News is reporting that hundreds of semi trucks now on the roads are being partially powered by hydrogen. From the article: "These 18-wheelers make hydrogen as they go, eliminating the need for high-pressure, cryogenic storage tanks or hydrogen filling stations, which, by the way, don't yet exist. These truckers aren't just do-gooders. They like Canadian Hydrogen Energy's Hydrogen Fuel Injection, or HFI, system because it lets them save fuel, get more horsepower and, as a bonus, cause less pollution."

    GNAA Announces Corporate Downsizing and Administrative Reformation GNAA Announces Corporate Downsizing and Administrative Reformation Misha Borovsky (GNAP) - Hollywood - GNAA President timecop announced at a press conference this morning that the Gay Nigger Association of America is in the midst of a large effort to reduce operating costs and streamline business processes. "Layoffs of approximately fifty percent of the gay workforce are to be expected, as well as a shifting in administrative functions," timecop was quoted as saying. Analysts predict this corporate downsizing was made necessary due to over-investment into the New Orleans area, when it was announced last year that the GNAA would be opening a state-of-the-art branch office on the coast. The building was nearing completion and just opening for business when it was destroyed by hurricane Katrina, which has been recently found to be the responsibility of Jews. As George W. Bush is noted for not caring about black people, FEMA has refused to pay for the repairs, and the project was scrapped. "We are also making internal changes to the corporate information technology intranet," said supers, CTO for GNAA Worldwide Operations. "Many of our information moving processes were running on the Lunix platform, and this was generating large costs due to system slowness and instability. After a careful usability study, we have found that we will be saving millions of dollars [USD] per year by switching to the Microsoft Windows 2003 Server System". timecop ended the conference by announcing, "We'll always be there for the gay niggers of the world. With this restructuring of the organization, we are enabled to offer twice the service for a fraction of the cost. It's a new gay universe ahead."

    If the oil companies as much of their "record profits" into hydrogen distribution as the cable companies put into spreading broadband, it wouldn't be a problem.

    But I can see why they don't: Fuel thay you can make with sunlight and water doesn't have much of a profit margin.
