EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning!

Well the U.S. government appears to have finally given the green light to fuel cell adoption, amending legislation this morning to allow users to take the critters onto planes.

It means anything you currently charge with USB you will also be able to power with a small fuel cell instead.

Conspiracy theorists and green groups have also long derided governments and car makers globally for their inaction on hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. Maybe today's announcement will clear the path for more wider adoption of fuel cell technology than just for bus-powered consumer electronics. Let us know your thoughts.

Also, it's your last chance to enter the draw for that $1,000 Christmas bonus as part of our 2009 iTnews job survey.

Click here to get things started - the survey will close at midnight on Wednesday! www.itnews.com.au/survey.
