BUFFALO, N.Y. - General Motors Co. is now 1 million miles into its fuel cell experiment and company officials say having everyday people drive a test fleet of pollution-free cars has convinced them they are on the right track.

For years I've been intrigued by hydrogen technology in vehicle. But they have a long way to go to implement a totally user-friendly unit. Those wisps of vapor translate to layers of ice on a frozen New England street. And those banks of fuel cells pose a serious threat in a collision.

i don't believe there will be any vehicle that worry warts or environmentalists will embrace except maybe the bicycle!

I can not believe that the "wisps of vapor will translate to large icebergs on the road!

I gotta go oil up my bike!!!!!

If you drove a motor vehicle in our northern climes you would realize that it doesn't take "icebergs" to be hazardous on our winter roads. Our news agencies have to be extremely observant of air moisture as it settles on a frozen road to alert drivers to the danger. And I do mean danger. Black road ice is more dangerous than snow.
