Fuel cell vehicles are probably the best solution to our fuel shortage problem. Gasoline is going to dry up eventually, and some day, so will natural gas and propane. Something made from natural elements, like hydrogen, that can create electricity is our best bet. It will be another five to 10 years down the road before fuel cell vehicles have an impact on the market. In the near term, we're wedded to AFVs-natural gas, propane, electric, and ethanol.
Ethanol has the greatest near term potential, especially in terms of volume.
Between Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and DaimlerChrysler, there are thousands and thousands of ethanol vehicles on the road. We've developed a partnership with the American Lung Association to get additional information out to drivers in three pilot cities. We're working with local providers to put in additional stations in the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, and Chicago, and we'll soon be expanding the program to Denver. We have a merchandising agreement with the American Lung Association, which is helping with awareness and providing an unbiased, third party endorsement for these vehicles and the fuel. As a result of that association and our partnership with the corn growers, we can help fund additional refueling stations.
