Anyone who thinks that the Internal Combustion Engine is going away in the next 20 years is dreaming. On top of which the cost fuel cells needs to drop by about 75%. The safety issue is still a problem - fender benders turning into mini Hindenberg's. No fuel infrastructure. All going well - fuel cells in 15 - 20 years a possibility. Another thought - what about the improvements for the ICE's
like Direct Injection? The Third world will go with an improved ICE rather than a fuel cell.

Well, I think the politicians who recieve campaign money from major petroleum companies will want the internal combustion engine around. This is my fear. I bought this company 3 years ago, and sold it all 5 months ago. I want back in but am concerned about the politics of it all. Any thoughts?
