Honda's Hydrogen-Powered FCX Clarity Coming to the US, and It's a Celeb-Magnet

Why only make a few when there's an oil crisis today. Just another way the major industries toy with us. The product is available for only a few. What gives?

Common sense, Tony. Unless you live near Torrance, California, what are you gonna do with with one of these cars? Do you realize how much time it will take before hydrogen is offered nationwide? One step at a time, buddy. Like any other smart business, Honda needs to get some of these out there, see how well they're liked, and how well they sell. As the popularity of hydrogen-powered cars goes up, we will see an increase in the number of gas stations that offer hydrogen. Supply and demand. If there's little demand, there'll be little supply.

Hydrogen is great fuel for rockets as long as there are no
uh-ohs. For cars? I don't know....

I remember when I suggested this to a teacher in chemistry class and was ridiculed in front of thewhole class. It was clearly explained to me that the temperature would be two hot for the metal to take. I hope he is watching this from up above.

I really wish some people (and companies it would seem) would stop dreaming about hydrogen cars. The tech is probably at least a decade away, more likely two. The cost for building the infrastructure necessary would be enormous. I don't think the cars would ever be affordable to the average person (i.e. 20-30k).

In my humble opinion the answer for our current situation is plug-in hybrids (PHEV) or all electric vehicles. With the improvements that have been made car manufacturers could start making them within the next two years. Even taking into account the electricity coming from coal plants they still are cleaner than todays model of cars. With most people recharging at night (off peak rates for even cheaper recharges) there would be no overtaxing of the power grid. The real beauty is that with more and more of our power coming from renewables every year, the cars would actually get cleaner as they got older.

For lots of great up to date info.

I thought the natural gas cars sounded good as well. Wonder we we aren't seeing more of those as well. I am cynical in nature and truly believe that we have the technology but I'm guessing the patents are held by oil companies and they would never allow for high mileage cars to get made. Then they wouldn't have the profits that they have been seeing for the past year!!!

OK...hydrogen fuel cells. Problem is, the main components are easily obtainable from water. Google HHO gas and see. The auto makers are in bed with oil companies on this, folks. The technology is here to dump straight water into a fuel cell and electrically separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen, but the oil companies won't be able to sell you Hydrogen gas for $5 a gallon, now would they? Let alone the $billions it will take for the supporting infrastructure. Hmmmm....think about how they are planning to screw us on the green energy revolution!

I'll wait for the compressed air car.

Hydrogen power cars won't be hitting in masses until bit Oil can figure out how to corner the hydrogen fuel cell market and make huge profits! Lets see....how about $5 per gallon for hydrogen...you laugh?

i would take one of these i have a hydrogen station within 15 miles of me, they are out there

Rent the movie, Who Killed The Electric Car? and it will make you so angry to see what the auto makers and the oil companies have done to us.

Hydrogen fuel car...Hmmmm well the good thing that comes out of this, is that to find an accident involving this type of vehicle, you can always find the accident location by looking for the mushroom cloud hovering overhead.

we the people.must come to the conclusion that we have power. economic power which we can use in this way
1. stop buying gas . sound's stupid
2. stop going to work . sound's even stupider don't it
3. don't pay the mortage , auto insurance . gas or electric .insanity ?
no these entiedies will cry out to the goverment for help so bad that change will have to be made... , but enough people are required to make this work. for which entide would want to pay expences , and not have income to support it ? none of them
use your power. before it's to late.

here's a car to look at: http://www.aptera.com This car can get 300 miles to the GALLON for the gas/electric hybrid. It's being offered in California only for the first year or so, then the rest of the world as soon as they research and implement needed additions.

good news: there are better alternatives for ethanol than corn and soy, namely, switchgrass and algae. An algae farm the size of Maryland can produce enough ethanol to supply the entire airfleets of the world. Just imagine what we could do with larger farms in the deserts and cold reaches of the world. Best yet: the technology is here!

good news part two: there are methane crystals in the ocean that can supply 110% OVER demand, providing we can find a safe way to process them. Canada has a head-start on this. They are a completely renewable resourse.

good news part three: there are electric/human hybrid vehicles available, which takes care of two problems: renewable power and obesity. If your teenager wants to borrow the car, they'll have to go out and pedal a bit to charge up the batteries. Sit back and imagine that... = )~ Happy thought, isn't it? Or "mommy/daddy, I need to go to fill-in-the-blank!" Start pedaling, kid!
Put "human/electric hybrid' into the Google search engine and see what's out there.

good news part four: solar and wind power are getting cheaper and easier to use.

Start reading Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and Scientific American, among others, keep on top of what's out there. It's pretty mind-blowing.

Then there's good old conservation and consolidation that everyone is expounding. Lot of cons, yeah? Whatever hits Big Power and Oil Corporations in the wallet and makes them go "yikes!" and keeps money in YOUR wallet can't be all bad.
