It is technologies like this that make my bet of a crate of whiskey against SM into a sure win for me.

I know that at ~$40/bbl a whole range of synfuel, oil shale, and expensive conventional oil will come onto the slate and still be cheaper than converting everything to Hydrogen.

I could probably make the bet over a 120 year timeframe rather than 12 year, but nobody would be around to adjudicate the wager.

So I repeat, if as much as 1% of Canada's vehicular transport (either land, air, or sea) is converted to Hydrogen fuel by 3rd March 2014, I will deliver to SM a crate of 12-year old Scottish Malt Whiskey of his choice (or reasonable substitute). In return, if it is not, he owes me...

(I recognise that most Whiskeys don't come as 12-year old. 10 or 15 is the norm, but we can come to an agreement. I'm not a greedy person and I'll happily settle for 10-year old Lagavulin.)
