If you're depending on those guys to come up with something, you're gonna be waiting a long time. Aren't the Prius and other "hybrids" marginally better than regular gasoline cars?

There is a ton of companies working towards such a thing.
Do a search for fuel cell companies on the Venture or TSX and you'll find a bunch. Problem is it's expensive as heck, and so many things just don't pan out.
I followed one for a few years that looked like it was going to have something..
As well ballard power was a big name a few years ago.. Haven't followed the story for awhile but think it lost some of its lstre from lack of developing anything valuable for the market..
