Sample quotes:
"On one end of the automotive technology spectrum will be improved conventional vehicles that deliver better fuel economy very cost-effectively, the best that the century-old technology can be. At the other end are purely electric vehicles, say powered by fuel cells. Hybrid vehicles are the bridge in between."
"It's certainly going to be some time before we see fuel cells at the stage of technological readiness that the hybrid vehicles are today, no doubt about it. It's an important reminder that we should really squeeze what efficiencies we can out of conventional vehicles, as well as pushing hard on hybrids as first priorities. It's far more cost-effective and it's ready now."
