looks interesting. the prius style vehicles don't have much longer to live it seems.
chevy's volt ads are getting heavy, and now this fuel cell car. I wonder what the purchase price of these vehicles would be... rent only, no purchase option...

Alternative Fuels

Mercedes makes an E200 CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) vehicle.
(Not Available in the U.S. , Of Course.)
[Even if it were, Fueling Infrastructure only available in parts of California and
New York.]
We're still allowing the major CNG source (The Seven Sisters) the Oil Companies
to "Burn Off" Natural gas as if it were a waste by-product.
AND the oil companies (AND Detroit) are fighting CNG as a vehicle fuel source.

The "H" Fuel cell/Electric Hybrid makes just as much sense as CNG, IF Hydrogen
is No Where near NEGATIVE energy production costs
(Financially and Environmentally).

I don't see this as a realistic Alternative,Because of the Environmental/Financial
costs of generating Hydrogen (AND the Third necessary delivery infrastructure).
In other than the Target markets with Uber-strict emissions standards,would
you have to re-fuel @ the Mercedes dealer?(That'll be inexpensive,NOT)

Besides,I'd much rather the SAFETY of the E Class no matter WHAT the
lack of infrastructure difficulties.
