"...he intervened to prevent President Bush from plugging an electrical cord into the hydrogen tank of Ford's hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid at the White House last week. (...) However, as Mulally followed Bush out to the car, he noticed someone had left the cord lying at the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank. "I just thought, 'Oh my goodness!' So, I started walking faster, and the President walked faster and he got to the cord before I did. I violated all the protocols. I touched the President. I grabbed his arm and I moved him up to the front," Mulally said. "I wanted the president to make sure he plugged into the electricity, not into the hydrogen. This is all off the record, right?"

"Why did the Ford CEO "exaggerate" the incident? Because he doesn't support the hydrogen plugin hybrid? And wanted to create an incident that exposed the impracticality of consumers with the skill level of duuhbya filling up a car with hydrogen? Or did he actually believe an extension cord could be plugged into a hydrogen tank? That would mean he knew as much about his own company's product as duuhbya does. ... This technology is available to ford, gM, chrysler, toyota, honda, Subaru and every other automaker right now. And would be even cheaper with mass production. No dangerous, astronomically expensive, uninsurable 3000 psi gas stations needed. NASA even has trouble filling up with hydrogen. Now do you see why I think the ford CEO created this "incident" to discredit plugin hybrids? 10% of present oil consumption in vehicles would be very bad for the oil business.
