Research priorities for fueling fuel cells called into question

Article Abstract:

By 2004, automobile manufacturers must install fuel cells in new cars. Yet, fuel cell technology might not be ready. Methanol-based fuel cells might be ready in time. Gasoline-based fuel cells will not be ready. A different fuel cell does not make hydrogen internally as is done in the two mentioned types of fuel cells. It uses liquid hydrogen. This technology is being neglected. Developing this cell would require less time. One important consideration, however, is public acceptance. Experts point out that technology has improved and today, hydrogen is safer than gasoline.

Ford opens door to plastics recycling

Article Abstract:

Ford Motor Co. plans to expand its presence in vehicle recycling, including plastic motor vehicle parts. The Vehicle Recycling Partnership (VRP), a project jointly sponsored by Ford, General Motors and DaimlerChrysler, reveals the reason why most plastic vehicle parts end up in landfills is that it is more difficult and expensive to separate than most metal scraps.
