I just saw a hydrogen fuel-cell BUS in downtown Hartford
I don't know what it was there for. United Technologies is in Hartford, and it had their logo stamped on it in a couple of places. It was pretty sleek looking, too. Clean lines, very "modern" looking. Anyone from CT know anything about it, and when we're get a fleet of them to replace those god-awful Grumman rolling shoe-boxes?

3. It was about 11:15, on the cross street between Prospect and Main
Which is, I think, the UTC building. It had some nice nature graphics of leaves and water with a couple of big "H - element" logos on it. I didn't notice any passengers on it. It seemed to be just driving around, showing itself off. Haven't heard anything about it on the news. Very cool looking bus.

4. It's UT's, I'm pretty sure.
There was a bit of PR about it a while back.

I haven't seen it myself, yet, but I'm a little out of the real downtown.

6. Hey thanks! That's awesome.
I can't believe I freakin' live here and didn't even know about this. Great job at getting the word out! LOL!

Thanks for the link. That's very interesting stuff.
