    IRVINE, CA-"Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide, Inc., (NASDAQ:QTWW) today announced that it has shipped eleven hydrogen-fueled Prius hybrid vehicles to Miljobil Grenland AS, a participant and vehicle provider to the Norwegian Hydrogen Highway (HyNor)."

    "The Norwegian government, industry participants, and the organizations participating in a joint effort called HyNor plan on creating a "Hydrogen Highway" between the capital, Oslo, and western Norway's port of Stavanger. The Norwegian HyNor plan calls for five refueling stations along the main highway from Oslo to Stavanger, the center of the national petroleum industry that makes Norway the world's third largest oil exporter, after Saudi Arabia and Russia. By 2009, HyNor plans to have enough fueling stations along the 580-kilometer (360 mile) route to allow hydrogen-powered vehicles to routinely make the trip."

    In a gas powered prius that would be 1 station.... Ok I'll do one in each city (Oslo and Stavanger).... Home many stations do you really need for 360 miles?

    Great. You can get a car that can only drive one single 360-mile stretch of road. :(

    I still don't get. Won't 10 million hydrogen cars spewing out water vapour do something to the humidity, cloud cover and general state of the atmosphere?

    At least locally yes. Maybe this is their secret way of trying to combat global warming? :lol:
