As far as the Yukon:
The 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid SUVs are reported to go as many as 21 miles per gallon of gas in the city driving conditions (for the 2WD model), []2008 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid mileage announced « Auto Review
Thats really not that amazing... considering car manufacturers almost always report higher MPG than realworld MPG

You're forgetting the MOST important requirement for these vehicles: a source of hydrogen (or whatever) on every corner, as abundant as the corner gas station. How are you going to drive a hydrogen powered car with NO HYDROGEN STATIONS?
Thats why its limited to CA for now since CA just happen to have.. guess what? HYDROGEN STATIONS!

Really? Where's your proof? Did you perform primary research by polling all 300 million + people in the US, or all 6 billion + humans on earth?

While your opinion is respected, without credible data to back it up it's still nothing more than an opinion.
So when we had fuel prices around 1.25/ gallon... we didn't exactly push for alternative fuel as much as we do now with 4.50/gallon. Its a safe assumption that higher fuel prices pushes the population to want an alternative fuel.
