I must have missed the original article. I don't suppose it was about the electric car whose batteries overcharged and caught fire in some celebrity's garage, burned down the house, and killed the family dog?

I heard about it on the biofuel Yahoo group. Fuel cells have at least an intuitive potential, if not real potential, to overcome the dangers of overcharging batteries. And electric cars have the inherent advantage of having no drive train, transmission, axles, mechanical stearing & braking linkages, and no exhaust system. Much lighter more fuel efficient vehicles are possible, not to mention more attractive, more stylish vehicles.

No, I wouldn't buy an electric car yet either. Not until fuel cells are used.
