Steve Wozniak to drive to South Pole

So much time and money, so little to do.

so what happened to Acquicor?

This doesn't do anything to demonstrate the viability of fuel-cell powered vehicles for the average person. How about a hydrogen-powered fuel car for the rest of us? You know, the kind that all the car companies were telling us in the 80's was ten years away?

sounds like a vanity project. hummers are an abomination so they should fit in well there.

the idea behind this is to show a hummer, a known heavy vehicle, to get outstanding mileage on the hydrogen fuel cell system. Once this is proven, because Americans LOVE big heavyassed SUVs, you'll see extremly economical 4 and 2 door sedans, coupes, hatches and convertibles. No one would be interesting in hearing that the GM Sequel (the squished minivan hydrogen fuel cell concept for production car GM has announced and will show to the press in the coming month(s)..) driving to the south pole on a single tank of hydrogen. A hummer making it to and from on a tank, to two tanks IS impressive and promising.

Off to another esoteric adventure with none other than Buzz Aldrin...

Publicizing hydrogen fuel cell technology is a good thing, but do they have to rape the Antarctic environment to do it?

Classic American thinking - if there's a problem, the only solution is to drive a big-ass vehicle over it.

He could just stay there and not come back.

As an American, I prefer to fly over and bomb the problems with hyrdogen bombs, not drive over them with hydrogen fuel cells.

If it were Bill Gates doing this, he'd be getting slammed for the ego-centric publicity ploy that it is. But its woz, so he just barely gets slammed.

Of course, I would think it would be really hard to drive over that land, with ice crevices, cold, wind, etc, around every hill. But, then, maybe he just wants to be able to do it before it all melts and any idiot can drive over the land.
