From the Clinton administration's Partnership for New Generation Vehicles(PNGV) to the Bush White House's FreedomCars Program, the quest for hydrogen "supercars" that would "cut fuel use, pollution and greenhouse gases" has yet to yield the intended results.

29.06.2004 Le Québec aura donc résisté. Alors que les deux grands réseaux de télévision francophones prédisaient autour de 22h un gouvernement libéral — minoritaire, précisait Bernard Derome —, les Québécois ont donné 54 sièges au Bloc québécois, lui accordant 50 % des suffrages. Le Bloc rejoint ainsi les 54 sièges obtenus sous Lucien Bouchard en 1993, exploit qui n’avait pas été réédité depuis.
