Arnold Schwarzenegger

In 2005, Peter Pilz, from the Austrian Green Party, demanded that parliament revoke Schwarzenegger's Austrian citizenship. This demand was based on Article 33 the Austrian Citizenship Act that states: A citizen, who is in the public service a foreign country, shall be deprived his citizenship, if he heavily damages the reputation or the interests the Austrian Republic. Pilz claimed that Schwarzenegger's actions in support the death penalty (prohibited in Austria under Protocol 13 the European Convention on Human Rights) had indeed done damage to Austria's reputation. Schwarzenegger explained his actions by referring to the fact that his only duty as Governor California was to prevent an error in the judicial system.

He bought the first Hummer manufactured for civilian use in 1992, a model so large, 6,300 lbs and 7 feet (2.1 m) wide, that it is classified as a large truck and U.S. fuel economy regulations do not apply to it. During the Gubernatorial Recall campaign he announced that he would convert one his Hummers to burn hydrogen. The conversion was reported to have cost about US$21,000. After the election, he signed an executive order to jump-start the building hydrogen refueling plants called the California Hydrogen Highway Network, and gained a U.S. Department Energy grant to help pay for its projected US$91,000,000 cost. California took delivery the first H2H (Hydrogen Hummer) in October 2004.
