The hydrogen economy for vehicles was much hyped for a while, but it is quietly whithering. Fuel cells have never really made sense: you use electricity to make hydrogen, then you use hydrogen to make electricity. It makes more sense to develop better technologies to skip the middle step.
I don't know why people are doom and gloom over this really, the timing is a rough, but (again) you HAD to know this is the way things were headed. The current administration talked about it on the campaign trail. The former administration had the same basic Cafe goals, but by 2020. So it's always been when not if.
The one thing that has changed is that gas hit $4.00/gal last summer and pushed people's willingness to accept faster changes.
