Gimme an H!; Hydrogen-powered internal-combustion engines for future 7 Series.(BMW developing hydrogen-powered cars)(Brief Article)

While the rest of the world's automakers experiment with hydrogen-powered fuel cells, BMW continues to insist hydrogen is better used in conventional internal-combustion engines.
In the latest development, BMW board member Burkhard Goeschel announced BMW will have a hydrogen-powered car in showrooms within seven years. And not just some rickety lab cart hooked up to wires and blipping computer screens: BMW will introduce an internal-combustion V12-powered 750hL luxury sedan that looks and drives just like any large luxury sedan on the market.
BMW sees the big H as the answer to ever-tightening emissions requirements world-wide, and to California's zero-emissions-vehicle standard in particular. Hence, Goeschel made his announcement in California, home of the California Air Resources Board, scourge of emissions engineers worldwide.
``California is, so to speak, the laboratory of the future for carmakers throughout the world-and also our toughest test bed,'' said Goeschel. ``If I may use an expression from our engineers in Munich, `California is a tough nut.'''
We suspect they use an expression stronger than ``tough nut'' to describe the state with the most restrictive ...
