"After a decade of focused research and development, the auto industry worldwide has passed a milestone with the arrival of the first test fleets of seemingly roadworthy fuel-cell cars....Faced with ever tighter governmental regulatory limits on exhaust emissions, forecasts of impending oil shortages and a potential global warming catastrophe caused by greenhouse gases, the motor vehicle industry and national governments have invested tens of billions of dollars during the past 10 years to bring to reality a clean, efficient propulsion technology that is intended to replace the venerable internal-combustion (IC) engine." (SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN) This article describes the "technical and market challenges...that could delay introduction of the fuel-cell family car for years, if not decades."
