BMW, The NY Times, and the money quote

Thanks to verbal for the following. The New York Times has a mini-review of the BMW Hydrogen 7 sedan, which they were testing in the New York metro area. They did note, however, that

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey would not permit the car to be driven through the Lincoln or Holland Tunnels or on the lower level of the George Washington Bridge.

It seems that BMW drew the Port Authority’s attention when it began pumping liquid hydrogen into its small test fleet of dual-fuel sedans in Port Jersey, not far from the docks where BMWs disembark after their voyage from Germany.

The money quote:

And historically speaking, it’s fair to say that the last hydrogen-dependent German flagship that docked in New Jersey left a lasting impression.

Heh.
