Hydrogen Conference Held in Charleston

Daily Mail reporter Michelle Saxton reports today on the results of the 5th Annual Hydrogen Implementation Conference in Charleston. There was the usual praise for hydrogen's potential, as well as talk about the potential drawbacks, most notably the lack of infrastructure for refilling hydrogen vehicles. The conference was sponsored by the Mountain States Hydrogen Business Council and featured appearances by several state political heavyweights, including Gov. Manchin and Rep. Capito.

It wasn't immediately clear to me whether the vehicles that were being touted were burning hydrogen instead of gas, or using it to power a fuel cell. I assume the former, since there aren't that many fuel cell vehicles available, but plenty of internal combustion engines that can be retrofitted to burn hydrogen.
