OT: Call me a conspiracy theorist, but could the oil companies and vested parties be so powerful that they are curtailing the introduction of hydrogen fuel cells and its infrastructure?

Thats kinda funny because isn't GM quote on the Volt, is they are mainly waiting for suppliers to supply it a viable battery? heh.

I don't believe the conspiracy theories. Especially considering the easiest way to harvest hydrogen is from fossil fuels.

Yes but you and I aren't going to burn coal to extract hydrogen... we need the infrastructure that the energy companies are likely to provide.

I know, it's off topic so I'll quit now.
