    So true. Allis Chalmers was experimenting with fuel cells in the 1950's.

    I think you're right about fuel cell technology, it seems to have had it's heyday and folks are moving on. Kind of a shame because natural gas is plentiful in the US and hydrogen can be produced and used with all around less petroleum and pollutants than gasoline, at least if you believe what the DOE is putting out these days.
