Maverick: the CBS marketwatch piece focused on the share price of the fuel cell companies - lots of good companies are down in share price even Microsoft. So shareprice is not a good indicator of future performance. As I understand it DCX are producing buses for delivery next year. To date OE has outboard motors on the market after a decade - now hopefully in the near future we will have some scooters. However we as shareholders have no details as to the financials of some of these deals, therefore we do not know if they will be profitable for OE. Judging from the past record - do not expect OE to surprise in the positive - rather take Murphy's Law into account. With OE, we need to know what money, and if it will make it to the bottom line before the share price will move up. This company has cried wolf too often - and as you know management is weak - so be careful in adding up profits before they show up on the bottom line. The Sundiro new was positive - but once again it is just a promise so no reaction in the share price. John

Today is the big day, and it looks like we're going to "lose": auto.com detroitnews.com America has to reform it's attitude towards pollution (and energy consumption). If they have no common sense about our oil reserves being finite, surely they understand the movement towards these vehicles is trashing their air quality. Ford gets high profile praise in Detroit editorial: auto.com Another opinion (might have been previously posted): detroitnews.com American's only understand one thing: detroitnews.com Everyone recognizing the most bang for their buck is Low-S: msnbc.com auto.com gaea.calstart.org This attacks EXISTING engines, producing immediate and dramatic results. I got back in ENBC at $6.25 at the open Wednesday when the EPA intentions were reported (they're sure to go after both diesel and gasoline now that they've recognized how efficient this approach is), and it's paying off. Here's the attitude a progressive manufacturer should take: biz.yahoo.com And here's a weird reaction: hydrocarbononline.com{35B19DA9-25EE-11D4-8C3C-009027DE0829}&Bucket=Latest+Headlines This remains an industry battle though: biz.yahoo.com Tidbits: biz.yahoo.com cbs.marketwatch.com That performance loss when Polaris substituted a 4S motor in their snowmobile is a marketing disaster. More money and less performance? And I'm sure owners will love the prospect of oil changes in the dead of winter. How do you get under a snowmobile? I don't think they sell snowmobile ramps at Wal-Mart.
