    I've read the title and suddenly thought that day is after the release of official repair plan by VW.

    I usually round off H to 1.000 atomic weight, so I celebrated the other day in between 9/30 and 10/1

    One FCV said to another FCV:
    - You have flies all over you [cow poo too recent]
    - My gasses are greener than yours [tanks painted green]
    - Who's in charge here? [no one, FCV is low profile, EVs are in charge all the time]

    :p

    Automotive manufacturers, environmental groups and government organizations are joining forces today, the first National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day, to raise awareness for zero-emissions fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies. Hyundai, the first to offer a mass-produced fuel cell vehicle in the U.S. market, has made its Tucson CUV available in Southern California since June 2014. This early leadership in the zero-emissions hydrogen-powered segment has already reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved air quality in the region.​

    A link and a picture, how about the only hydrogen joke I know.

    A hydrogen atom walks into a bar. The bartender sees the hydrogen is sad, and asks what's the matter. Hydrogen says he has lost an electron. The bartender says are you sure. Hydrogen says I'm positive.
