washingtonpost.com: Automakers Put Hydrogen Power On the Fast Track

I'd call GM retarded, but that woulod be an insult to retarded people.

Why Hydrogen won't work?

"No one has yet figured out how to generate large amounts of hydrogen without causing as much pollution as internal-combustion engines now create, or how to pay for a nationwide distribution network. And the vehicles are prohibitively expensive; if GM's Sequel were for sale, it would cost as much as a warehouse full of Corvettes."

The worst thing that the Big Three ever did was fight CAFE standards. Now they are in a hole. At least Ford is trying to get into the hybrid thing.

I heard that the Europeans use a lot of diesel and get similar performance to gasoline. While a little suspect, this too would be a better option than hydrogen power. GM has done this in the past trying to outsmart everyone and divert attention. The only problem now is that, they don't have 50 percent market share anymore.
