Have you literally just taken a BMW press-release and set it uncritically out in the world as fact?Yes, driving may result in marginally cleaner emissions from the tailpipe, but the embodied energy in the technology is massive. Not to mention the production of the hydrogen (which often comes from reformation of hydrocarbons). This car is not efficient. It's merely an opportunity for the very rich to try and alleviate their guilt by embracing a technology that is unlikely to ever reach mainstream success. This post is downright absurd.

Not sure which this car actually does as the article seems to claim both at the same time. Would have to be one or the other and my money rides with "reduced", not the plant-like and miraculous "consuming".
