    When will we see this?

    When will the HighWire be built? If it is already in concept you'd think they would be producing these like hotcakes...but of course they'd have to get rid of all their oil company stock first!

    Sorry to say it probably will not happen in our life-time.

    There's too much dinero still to be made burning fossel fuels.

    Here's my prediction---10-15 years down the road when this could happen, a study will come out saying there might be a hazzerdous stituation if these types of vehicles got into a highway crash. What they won't tell you is it will be the oil companies financing the study.

    Peace.

    Hydrogen is probably the worst alternative fuel out there due to the extreme amount of energy required to produce it, so unless some major technological breakthrough is made in hydrogen synthesis these type of vehicles are mere concepts.

    What about Honda's solar powered Hydro-station concept?

    It's far, far more energy and material intensive than squeezing oil out of seeds or fermenting vegetable matter. Biofuel is old technology, like over a hundred years old, and it kicks hydrogen's arse to the curb.
