Hydrogen cars taken for campus spin

Hydrogen cars taken for campus spin: "BMW's Hydrogen 7 sports two fuel tanks—one for hydrogen and one for gasoline in case the driver can't locate a hydrogen filling station. Participants debated whether it made sense to build hydrogen cars or hydrogen filling stations first. During a test drive, BMW spokesman Andreas Klugescheid said his company is taking a chance on building the vehicles despite a dearth of filling stations. 'The egg is there, but the chicken is missing,' he said. At the symposium, Wolf of Linde Gas pointed out, 'There is a hydrogen infrastructure. We need to bring an industrial infrastructure into a public infrastructure. We have more filling stations than cars, so I think both sides are waiting.'"
