REPORT QUESTIONS BUSH PLAN FOR HYDROGEN-FUELED CARS
from The New York Times

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5 — President Bush's plan for cars running on clean,
efficient hydrogen fuel cells is decades away from commercial reality,
according to a report by the National Academy of Sciences.

Promoting the technology in his State of the Union address a year ago, 
Mr.
Bush said a hydrogen car might be available as the first vehicle for a
child born in 2003. On Monday, the Energy Department included $318 
million
for both fuel cells and hydrogen production in its 2005 budget. 
"Hydrogen
is the next frontier; a hydrogen economy is where the world is headed,"
said Spencer Abraham, the secretary of energy.

The Bush administration anticipates mass production of hydrogen cars by
2020. But the academy study, released Wednesday, said some of the Energy
Department's goals were "unrealistically aggressive."
