"Fill it up with 10,000 psi of Hydrogen and check the batteries"

Got this off of today's Autotech Daily. And to think they regarded my '71 Pinto as a rolling bomb. :

Linde AG has opened a hydrogen filling station for General Motors Corp.’s Opel arm in Germany, reports Fuel Cell Today, an Internet service sponsored by Johnson Matthey plc. Located at Opel’s technical center in Dudenhofen, the high-pressure refueling system pumps 10,150-psi hydrogen at a rate of 1,412 cu. ft. per minute, thus allowing fuel cell-powered vehicles to be filled in less than four minutes.

Do you think they need to ridgidly enforce the No Smoking while refueling law there?
