Justin and I went to downtown Livermore to the event and got to test-drive a hydrogen Nissan.  We only got to drive it half-way around the block, but it was still really cool.  All of the hydrogen cars are actually hybrids; they are part fuel-cell, part electric.  When the engine needs a little more oomph, there is a lithium ion battery that kicks in.  Also, you get regenerative braking that charges the battery.  Very cool.<\/p>\n<p>For the geeks out there, it was a PEM hydrogen fuel cell.  (That&#8217;s Proton Exchange Membrane, just in case you didn&#8217;t know that.)
