Olympic taxis make 130-mile round trip to fill up


	Quote: Hydrogen-fuelled taxis, introduced in London for the Olympic Games, are being transported on a 130-mile round trip to Swindon to refuel. The fleet of three low-emission cabs was introduced to ferry VIPs and officials during the Games.

Why on earth didn't they build a closer refueling point?
When I say that, I mean one they could use? They knew about security etc before the games.

What am I saying? They should have build a load all over the country so we could ditch these stupid battery only eco cars.

I really wish they'd stop with gimmicks such as this and plough some serious investment into making alternative technologies viable instead.
