Sid you ought to try reading that article again. It was actually an article on a UCS report urging support for Fuel Cell and Other Advanced Buses. You must have missed the part where it says and I quote "The UCS report estimates the OVERALL savings by a hydrogen fuel cell bus could amount to as much as $180,000 over the lifetime of the vehicle compared to a diesel- plus a quieter ride- because of the intrinsically higher energy efficiency of the fuel cell."

Further on it states "If cost targets of about $150/kw for the entire fuel cell system can be achieved, the outlook for fuel cell buses, which possess unmatched environmental benefits, will be very positive."

You might want to also read the article starting on page 1 on hydrogen sales since it quotes an SRI Consulting study which predicts " the economics of small scale hydrogen production may change dramatically over the next five years to the point at which on-site or captive hydrogen becomes more economical than liquid or trucked gaseous hydrogen."

If you read the whole newsletter it generally becomes much more understandable than if you pull things out of each article willy nilly.
