On the Lighter Side

On the Lighter Side,

Yesterday I got a ride in- and a quick test-drive in an Equinox from Maurice, our good friend and computer consultant for many years. The Equinox is a GM prototype of a hydrogen propelled SUV with mileage standards roughly equivalent to the much lighter Prius, 0 to 60 in nine seconds. We took it for a completely effortless climb up Mt. Washington. But the greatest advantage is that of having zero (and I mean it) pollution in its emission. With the engine running, you check the exhaust: No fumes of any kind, only a few drops of water. Hello, fresh air in the L.A. basin! Check it out at http://gmfuelcell.com
