Here's one of many reasons why the future of this country isn't looking so bright (so I don't "gotta wear shades"); while we drag our feet and put forth a bunch of foaming skepticism about alternative energies, in other parts of the world they just go ahead and DO it. But it looks like we're on a road to nowhere with the moronic claims that celulosic ethanol is the 'great white hope'... It seems, however, that India isn't inhibited by foolish claims and myths which can ultimately be traced back to Exxon/Mobil:Eden handed Indian hydrogen dispensing station contract
Hythane
Company, a subsidiary of Australian firm Eden Energy, has been selected
by Indian Oil Corporation to supply and install the
first public
hydrogen dispensing station in India to fill vehicles running on either
hydrogen or hythane.Hythane Company was awarded the contract -
which was signed at Indian Oil's R&D facility at Faridabad, near
Delhi, this week - after beating rival bidders from Europe and America.
The $1 million retail fuel outlet will be installed at one of Indian Oil's petrol/natural gas refuelling stations in Delhi.
"This
is a hugely significant milestone in Eden's bid for global leadership
in hydrogen fuel technology as it means Eden has now been fully
accepted by 'India Incorporated' to help drive its hydrogen based
cleaner fuel emission objectives," commented Greg Solomon, Eden
Energy's executive chairman.
The dispensing station is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of 2008.
Two other hythane bus demonstration projects are also being undertaken by Eden in Gujarat and Mumbai this year.

Oh well, at least this should lighten the global demand for petrol a tiny bit...maybe our gas prices will drop by a half-cent!
