WHY:        Fuel cells represent the future of mobility and
            energy diversity through vehicle and fuel technology.
            Support from President Bush and California Governor Davis
            has accelerated efforts to address remaining
            commercialization issues for fuel cells. This technology
            is being supported and developed by the auto industry and
            leading energy companies because of its promise to deliver
            high-energy efficiency, fuel flexibility and clean-air
            benefits.
