George Bush pledged to invest in developing hydrogen powered cars in the US.

What he didn't mention at the time is that he wants to use oil to create 90% of the hydrogen, rather than nuclear or renewable sources.

In an interview for BBC's Newsnight the other day, a spokesperson for Ford said that hydrogen fuel cell cars should be going on sale to the general population in 2010-2012.
