I didn't say hybrid, I said environmentally friendly. Historically Mazda's done pretty well with unusual engines... I'm not saying that any car manufacturer can just out of the blue decide to build a non-combustion car, I understand the economic issues. But I think money could be better spent on developing a viable alternative to gas powered cars than on making your employees walk to work.

Not only will they be saving fuel and using less fuel, they'll also be healthier by walking instead of driving.Ryan The middle child is always ignored

While I only live 2.4 miles from my place of employment, I've never walked there(though I have ridden my bike there, but that was before I worked there, and before I could drive), and don't ever plan on doing that.
Walking to work could make the employees prematurely fatigued and less productive. It all depends on how far they live from the Mazdaness whether they should walk or not. I say if it's 1 mile or less they can walk, beyond that it's cumbersome and needless. They're with Mazda, let them drive thier Mazdas to work!

actually I read about this as I was worried about the same, and they said that its actually just as safe if not safer than regular gasoline... thats just part of the "bad" hype behind using hydrogen.

The bad hype comes from that poor blimp that burst into flames.
However, the Hindenburg caught fire because the sheathing it used had the ingrediance of rocket fuel, and a freak incident of static electricity sparked a fire on the sheathing, which burned through to the hydrogen tanks, and ofcourse when hydrogen is exposed to open flame it burns very very well. That's how that happened. Driving a hydrogen car is safe unless something else on the car catches on fire.
Aren't you glad I listened in Chem class?
