Hydrogen-powered cars are already on the road, and one company plans a limited release of models to the general public later this year.

The cars run quietly, emit only distilled water and can range more than 250 miles, just like gasoline-powered vehicles.

But these wonder vehicles have a "chicken or the egg" problem, notes the U.S. Department of Energy: very few fueling stations. Without those stations, who's going to buy hydrogen cars? If no one's buying the cars, who wants to build a fuel stop?
