We can sell Beer and Hydrogen !!!
The AP reported that “Toyota has developed a new fuel cell hybrid, a green car powered by hydrogen and electricity, that can travel more than twice the distance of its predecessor model without filling up, the automaker said Friday.” In a statement Toyota said that “[t]he improved model’s maximum cruising range is 516 miles compared with 205 miles for Toyota’s previous fuel cell model.” The AP noted, “The FCHV-adv model, which received Japanese government approval Tuesday, will be available for leasing in Japan later this year.” Toyota Motor Corp. spokeswoman Kayo Doi added that “[p]ricing and other details weren’t available, and overseas plans were still undecided.”
The AFP added that the “new zero-emission fuel-cell vehicle…can operate in freezing temperatures.” Japanese automakers “have been working to create a viable zero-emission car running on fuel cells, which produce electricity through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, leaving water as the only by-product.” Toyota engineers succeeded in controlling “the amount of water produced inside the fuel-cell system, which previously interfered with electrical generation at low temperatures.”

Natural Gas Rush in Northeast Opposed!!
The Marcellus Shale play is the latest huge thing in natural gas, considered by some to be a “super giant” gas field. Read more here http://www.petroleumnews.com/pntruncate/246893563.shtml
So here are a bunch of “concerned citizens” planning to oppose it with all their might.
“The Damascus group has plans to pursue all avenues to stop the drilling, which include the use of moratoriums and other legal actions in the courts. It announced at the meeting that the group had enlisted the services of Richard Lippes, a renowned environmental attorney who was instrumental in winning a $129 million lawsuit for residents of the Love Canal section of Niagara Falls, NY, against Occidental Petroleum.” You can tell them what you think of their efforts at DCS@mailhosts.net
