Have you heard about Project Driveway, the pilot program that lets ordinary folks drive the Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell Vehicle? Just last week Scott had the opportunity to drive it on the streets and highways of New York--and we have tons of info to share with you about this hydrogen powered vehicle and the plans both in place (and under development) to establish a reliable and accessible hydrogen refueling infrastructure. There are big plans and smart minds hard at work to bring it all together so the masses can have their FCVs (fuel cell vehicles) and their hydrogen too.

With that end in sight, dear reader, we have been at work on several small but informative tutorials, like what the heck a fuel cell is and maybe even more important, how exactly does a fuel cell work. And for those of you who like the "thousand words that is a picture," take a look at these detailed diagrams that provide a nice graphical representation of fuel cells' inner workings.

Yep, fuel cell vehicles are comin' ... and they're a-comin' fast. They'll be on the road before ya know it. Are you gonna be ready?
