Is This Electric-Car Rival Making a Comeback?

In the following video, Fool consumer-goods/industrials analyst Blake Bos discusses how the current natural gas boom has spurred interest in hydrogen-fueled cars.

There are environmental concerns regarding the production of hydrogen from natural gas.  However, Blake shares research that points out a potential long-term issue with the current battery technology that Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA  ) and other manufacturers use. Blake also identifies international companies that are embracing hydrogen technology, including Honda (NYSE: HMC  ) and Toyota (NYSE: TM  ) .
