Re: An Early Retirement For The Hydrogen Fuel Cell
The worst part is the billions of dollars GM has squandered driving to develop cars based on this technology. If that money had been spent on realistic alternatives such as hybrid technology, the U.S. may have been in a leadership position (at least from a technology perspective) by now. Embarrassing. And we continue to reward their stupidity with our own by continuing to purchase gas guzzlers from them. Takes one to know one.
It's amazing the level of unbridled selfishness Americans exhibit. Fed by the greed of the 80's, capped by the dot-com hysteria of the 90's. Wake up people. It's the era of global responsibility...

GW's hydrogen program was used to defund Al Gore's "High Mileage Vehicle" program. The last year, it included hybrids from all US manufacturers including a hydraulic hybrid pickup truck, an opportunity lost.
When you find yourself in a hole, the first step is to stop digging.

Don't forget that management and pundits are standing on the shoulders of the workers, directing the digging of the hole and claiming that not enough progress is being made because of the worker's health-care, benefits and pay.
