the future?


i was looking through car inventories this morning, (bored) and stumbled across this. It's Honda's new model, called the FCX Clarity. Running entirely on hydrogen fuel cells, it converts the hydrogen to electricity, which runs the engine. It is entirely environmentally friendly; it emits only water.
It's so new that Honda has only released two hundred of these on the market, and only in Santa Monica and Irvine, the only places that have hydrogen refueling stations. the way that refueling works is that hydrogen is sold in kilograms. a kilogram of hydrogen is right now priced at five dollars. So not too much different than a gallon of gas. The mileage that these cars get is much better than gas cars though.

The price of one of these cutting edge driving machines? A modest $2 million and it could be yours. Maybe time will tell, and everyone will be driving these. Until then, all I can do is hope.
