I'm I missing something Skip? $36 seems very good for a TX that likes the Perrier.

Yes that $36,000 will become £36,000 if they decide to sell it here, correction IF they can sell it here

Pump infrastructure will hold it back no doubt.

That was Broadcast in June 2010.

Obviously a vast take-up, then!

Apparantly there's a fleet of around 20 coming out later this year in time for the Olympics.

The Bus garage at Camberwell Green had agreed for them to fill up at it's Hydrogen tank, and the drivers / company will be billed.

I'd buy one at 250 miles per tank and Lotus engineering under the cab.

Remember when LPG came out?

London had two filling points!

Now there are dozens.

I think Petrol / Derv will be laughed at in a couple of decades, and in turn the Arabs will go skint!

Let me guess we need another million arab/asian PH drivers ?
A few thousand tonnes of sand for cities like Nottingham to create an atificial beach every summer ?
Lots of rich ex pat Libyans like the gaddaffi family settling in britain with their millions ?
Oh and we want to sell them a few weapons of course
