    Car and Driver link - "Toyota's New Mirai Could Run on a Single Cow's Poop for a Year”

    It’s a brief article with remarkably little detail. I don’t know if it’s a bored journalist disappointed with the lack of cars on display at the Tokyo Auto Show or what.

    I’ve been expecting that at some point, Toyota would announce some sort of progress on (something) that radically improves the economics and convenience of hydrogen fueling. Tip of that iceberg?

    I am "bullish" on that idea.
    Apparently in Virginia we just heard Smithfield foods is goiing to convert pig waste methane, so there you go.

    yeah, toyota ran that ad years ago. turns out, they have no idea how it would be accomplished.

    it's the same as the claims like, 'new battery to charge from air'
