Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars Complete Cross-Country Tour. By Bernie Woodall, Reuters, August 24, 2008. "Hydrogen fuel cell cars from nine automakers completed a 13-day cross-country trip [from Portland, Maine to the Los Angeles Coliseum] this [past] weekend, in the first such mass U.S. crossing for vehicles powered by a zero-emission technology still in its infancy... There were stretches without hydrogen fueling stations when the vehicles were carried on flatbed trucks, the longest from Rolla, Missouri, to Albuquerque, New Mexico. But then one of the goals of the Hydrogen Road Tour '08 was to demonstrate the need [for] more fueling stations if the nascent technology is to develop, said Paul Brubaker [of] the U.S. Department of Transportation. There are about 60 hydrogen stations in the U.S., and only two are open to the public without prior arrangement. The... tour stopped in 31 cities in 18 states. Backers included two hydrogen producers, Air Products and Linde."
