Lol - you could convince me that I dreamed it up, and I would believe you. I
dunno where I came across it.

A quick 'duck' search reveals the 2021 MIRAI - zero emissions, up to 402-mile
range, complimentary fuel for up to six years (or $15k USD). Starting MSRP
$45,5k US. 

This sounds better in many ways that bat, which always seemed a bit
"two-faced" to me, from a 'green' stand-point. 

Not knowing the science involved with the use of hydrogen, I have some
pedestrian questions:

- how safe is hydrogen as a fuel these days?
- where does one refuel?

And curiously, why the 49k entry point?! RnD?
