Has the announcement been made yet? All I can find, besides the part from Boortz, is this, from yesterday: Fuel Cell Makers Soar on U.S. Hydrogen Initiative By TSC Staff 01/08/2002 04:24 PM EST Shares of companies that make fuel cells shot up Tuesday in anticipation of a policy speech in which the U.S. government is expected promote hydrogen as an alternative energy source for automakers. Ballard Power (BLDP:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) gained $4.26, or 14%, to $34.96, while Plug Power (PLUG:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) was up $3.20, or 37%, to $12.04. Fuelcell Energy (FCEL:NYSE - news - commentary - research - analysis) added $3.91, or 22%, to $21.85. All three companies sell proton exchange membrane fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into energy with little or no waste residue. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham is expected to announce a program with the heads of the Big Three automakers in which the government will back a hydrogen-based infrastructure for fuel efficiency. The program will replace an existing initiative that had tried to compel automakers to produce a sedan that got 80 miles per gallon. thestreet.com
