The latest in the search for alternative fuels for transportation has a couple of interesting developments.
Firstly, there is the new BMW just showcased - a hybrid hydrogen vehicle. It is discussed in this BBC article where both the pros and cons are outlined. Of course, its both expensive and there are currently only 5 refueling stations in the world that are compatible with the BMW technology - so plan that trip carefully!
Secondly, a fascinating account from ScienceDaily called Microorganisms One Part Of The Solution To Energy Problem which says that the answer to one of the world's largest problems -- the need for clean, renewable sources of energy -- might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants -- bacteria!
A new report published on this - Microbial Energy Conversion - can be downloaded from here
