I, too would like to see hydrogen take off, pun not intended, but the cynic in me does tend to agree with your last statement regarding the oil companies. Since it seems to be the thing for the POTUS to suck the dick of big oil, I suspect bugger all will be done of any real worth until one of them grows some balls.

They are now producing 600 cars a week in CA. That's 30k a year. Not bad for a 10 year old start up company that's challenging conventional ideas about car design and the way the automotive industry does business.

Apart from the only, the only difference was the petrol company owning the patents rather than the university, so no difference to him personally.

So did Delorean, Saturn, Daewoo, and Fisker. Do you see a pattern?
