showed on Sunday. Used in rockets and in battery-like fuel cells, hydrogen is being widely researched as a non-polluting fuel, but its use is so far hampered by high costs. A few hydrogen vehicles are already on the roads, such as the Honda FXC Clarity and Mercedes-Benz F-Cell, and more are planned.

Deal. Democrats see it as one of the best legislative vehicles for passing an extension of the jobless aid. A senior Democrat said on Sunday he hoped an emerging deal on the U.S. budget would include an extension of unemployment benefits, but added that his party would not necessarily walk away from an agreement that left it out. “I don’t think we’ve reached that point where we’ve said, ‘This is it, take it or leave it,’� Sen. Richard Durbin told the program “This Week,� when pressed on whether his party would insist on including jobless aid in a final deal. Durbin, the secondranking Senate Democrat, said that based on what he has heard from Sen. Patty

Murray, the lead Democratic negotiator on the budget, the fiscal talks are making progress and moving in the right direction. The House of Representatives and Senate budget panel, created after the government shutdown in October, is discussing a two-year accord that would ease the impact of acrossthe-board spending cuts known as the “sequester� and lower the near-term risk of another damaging fiscal showdown.
