<snip>there's just one hitch: no infrastructure to obtain and distribute hydrogen to these fuel-cell cars. [you can't just use the national natural-gas pipelines for two reasons - 1, h2 is much tinier than ch4 and can whizz through cracks natural gas doesn't even see, and 2, a phenomenon called hydrogen embrittlement, which affects steel exposed to h2] this sounds like another excellent way for gm to shelve the pesky question of changing the way they do things for another long stretch of time. notice he didn't say 'introduce a fuel cell car to compete with the likes of toyota'...
i predict they'll develop fuel cell tech, then shelve it, just like they developed and shelved hybrid tech and electric tech before that. remember the ev1, anybody?
