Larry, The internal combustion engine's efficiency runs about 17%, while fuel cells will deliver around 40%. That translates into at least doubling the mileage, while increasing performance. Once enough volume drives the cost down, there will be a stampede to convert. The first fc cars will be out there in 2 years, and then it is only a matter of time, imo. The trucking industry will be a big push for fuel cells.
