Then after the test concludes you have to problem of forcing people to transition is say a 5-10 year period of time. You have people that want the nice 70,000 viper. You have to worry about slowly transitioning to Fuel Cell stations instead of Gas Stations. At what point to you stop selling gas and tell people "Buy a new 40,000 piece of equipment". $40,000 isn't cheap and is hard to come by. It is quite hard to actually transition. Lots of planning needs to go into it. I am sure there really is no plan and that when the time comes it will be fly blind.
