Will, I'm not arguing one way or the other that Bush had a clue about the nature of hydrogen. Neither of us can win that fight. However, my only point is that this story illustrates at worst his inability to follow simple instructions from whoever handed him the plug in the first place (I doubt any POTUS stoops down to pick anything off the floor) or at best confusion on where the outlet was.
Honestly, I'm confused as to why a car referred to as a "hybrid" would have a hydrogen tank in the first place. Generally cars under the definition of "hybrid" as I understand it have a gas tank and batteries and no place or need to plug anything in. A hydrogen car wouldn't need to be plugged in since it would work off the same flywheel concept that makes a hybrid a hybrid. Then again, it's entirely possible that this is something I've never heard of, which makes all of my wonderment a moot point.
