HYDROGEN CAR IN ARMY TEST: "The Army's National Automotive Center is taking a peek into that future now, testing out its first hydrogen-powered car. The 66-inch wide, 13.5 horsepower Aggressor Alternative Mobility Vehicle goes from 0 to 40 mph in four seconds, and tops out at 80 mph, according to its makers, Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide. But speed isn't really the selling point of the Aggressor. Stealth is. The vehicle has a 'virtually silent operating mode with reduced thermal signature,' making it harder for evil-doers to spot the car."
