OK, mercilessly lifted from /., this article in wired is very interesting.
GM are really putting their money into fuel cells at last. Best quote of the article.
Interesting read.

I park my rented Pontiac Sunfire in the Renaissance Center garage and open the trunk to retrieve my laptop. As I do, a slab of snow slides down the rear window and straight into the open trunk. I stand for a minute contemplating this. The same people who are promising to reinvent the automobile can't figure out how to design a car that doesn't dump snow into the trunk

Thing is, this actually extracts hydrogen from gasoline!
However, it currently takes more energy to extract the hydrogen from gasoline than the energy that the extracted hydrogen can liberate.
Sounds horribly like solar panels...
