Joe BamfordGUEST
So really what you're talking about is this, that neither one of them yet are at a point where we can get it to cost the same and operate the same.

Joe BamfordGUEST
When you think about a diesel combustion engine, well, that's had 100 years of R&D, okay? What that means is every year it gets 2% better.

Joe BamfordGUEST
And what you're now trying to find is a, an engine, if you want, whether it's a fuel cell or a combustion engine, that operates like a diesel engine.

Joe BamfordGUEST
So let me give you the engineering spike point, okay? The, the distance, the, the near future, and it is this: a hydrogen combustion engine is 30% efficient, uh, but it's $100 a kilowatt to buy it.
