U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen L. Johnson today showcased the fourth generation of Chevrolet's Equinox Fuel Cell Car, the newest addition to the agency's vehicle fleet. The new car underscores EPA's support for national efforts to develop clean energy technologies and help move the United States toward energy independence.

"EPA is turning the key on an engine of change, by turning fleet emissions from CO2 to H2O," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "EPA supports new technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells that are good for our environment and good for our economy."

When I see a fuel cell with long life (the Equinox stack is rated at 50,000 miles) and reasonable cost (Platinum, the catalyst is a little pricey), I will get interested in this technology in spite of the inefficient use of energy sources in the production of hydrogen.

Good news, "a six-month lease."
