like gasoline, must be manufactured: it bonds so
easily with other elements that it doesn't exist
naturally on Earth in pure form. The trouble is
that while gasoline is sold in 200, 000 filling
stations across the US, the hydrogen
infrastructure is minuscule. The result is a
chicken-and-egg dilemma: What manufacturers will
market hydrogen-powered cars if hydrogen isn't
available to drivers? What hydrogen producers will
build more plants if hydro...

the low trade in value, and decide either not to
buy a new car at all or to buy a cheaper model.
The lower car sales is a reduction in demand,
because the decrease in resale value of used cars
is not changing the prices of the new cars, as a
change in quantity demanded would suggest, it is
changing what people are willing to pay for the
cars. A graph of the new demand curve would
