this is a milestone in the company's life and reflects yet another
important step in the commercialization of the H2 Fuel Cell

"Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic sources, such as natural gas, nuclear energy, clean coal, biomass and other renewable sources. By successfully making the transformation to a hydrogen fuel economy, by 2040 most light-duty cars and trucks will be using hydrogen and we will reduce our oil consumption by 11 million to 12 million barrels a day, freeing us from a reliance on foreign oil.....
Those who say our plan is difficult are stating the obvious. It is a huge challenge with many obstacles to overcome. But we believe hydrogen is the key to a cleaner, safer and healthier energy future, and we are confident we can succeed."
