As in years past, fuel cell-powered vehicles are the technology of the future, according to a report published on Thursday by the U.S. National Academies.

Despite a great deal of technical progress, the study concludes that fuel cell vehicles will only make a significant dent in oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions with decades of coordinated government policies and commitment from industry.

The primary barriers to adoption are high costs and the absence of an infrastructure to distribute hydrogen, the report said, which was commissioned by Congress and sponsored by the Department of Energy.

It is a very good Post and I commend you for posting it. Nevertheless it is a copy and should not be on her as such! Please check out the rules!

It may help a bit! Further Here's one take on copyright.

There are two different issues: what's legal and what's ethical. The former is spelled out in law. The latter is a personal choice.

Dartmouth has a good, brief resource on copyright. This resource also covers Fair Use, which is really what a highlight is about. From that section:

"The purpose and the character of the use, including whether it is for commercial or non-profit educational purposes

  • The nature or type of the copyrighted material (i.e., periodical, film, book, etc.)
  • The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the whole
  • The effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the copy-righted material

There are many good resources that cover the Berne convention, copyright law, DCA, etc. on the 'net.  

This was posted by PEP earlier!
