The hydrogen Renesis rotary engine is actually a dual fuel injector configuration, so that it can also run on gasoline or even diesel in the Atkinson cycle, for that matter. http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/env/hybrid/hre2.html #45 Dave G:

Or even the minivan with all-wheel drive. Actually...I'll take one of each! I’d take the Jeep over the Volt. Or even the minivan with all-wheel drive.

Other stake-holders include Alliance Capital, Sequoia Capital, North Bridge Venture Partners, CMEA Ventures, FA Technology Ventures, OnPoint, MIT, Motorola, Qualcomm, and Procter & Gamble (actually its Duracell subsidiary). IPO anyone :-P So has gm sign a contract with A123 systems?

The other three states, DC, CA, and NY, all require a front license plate. The Volt has no visible place to attach a front licence plate, so the Volt can only be tagged legally in the states listed below. I live in Florida so no problem there. I'm hoping the put a Volt on display at the GM Epcot pavillion soon. Sorry, but I don't share your concern with this either. My G6 doesn't have a place for a front plate either. Same thing for many cars. Isn't this just handled by adding a bracket? Or are you claiming there are no G6's legally tagged in CA and NY? #116
