In a major leap forward for the Energy Economy, Gizmodo reports that a fuel cell-powered motorbike will be offered for sale in 2006.
The bike is lightweight, can go as fast as 50 mph, and has up to four hours of running time--plenty for around town trips.
The timing of this offering is excellent, as sales of mopeds, electric scooters, and other unlicensed motorbikes is breaking records. High gas prices are getting Americans to look at alternative transportation seriously.
And that's why I'm not worried about gas prices. High prices for something like gas creates a market response that represents business opportunities and jobs for others. High gas prices will create one of the greatest economic booms in history, as the entire world economy, over the next ten to twenty years, begins to shift to alternative fuel sources.
