The Car That Emits Water Vapor and on Sale

Weekly GreenTech Series

Honda FCX (city landscape
sold separately)
Hondafcx Did anyone catch that Honda FCX commercial?  Zero emission car?  Hydrogen fuel cells?  Emits water vapor?  Available soonish? (alright, enough with the questions) I had to check it out myself...

Turns out to true.  Here's all you need to do to.  Move to Torrance, Irvine, or Santa Monica , CA because that's where the hydrogen refueling stations are.  Then, this summer, sign up for a 3-year $600 a month lease (includes maintenance and collision insurance), and pick up one of 1000 available.

Okay, so obviously, this car has a few limitations, but it makes a great commuter car if you live in Southern California.  It goes about 270 miles and can reach 100 miles per hour.  Apparently it has great pick up, and runs smoother than our current cars. 

How does it run?  The hydrogen fuel cell converts the H2 and O2 into electricity (that's hydrogen, which won most available element in the universe)

Oh, and their upholstery is made from a plant-based bio-fabric.

Kudos, Honda (someone wake up GM please)
