So Honda is taking the first step into the next generation of vehicles with their new fuel cell vehicle, the Honda FCX Clarity.

I'm quite excited about this since I feel this technology should have been produced enmass several years ago. It'll be interesting to see how it is integrated into the current fossil fuel godzilla machine. Unfortunately, the car will only be available in LA at first, which makes me want to move there just to be an early adopter. But I guess they have to start somewhere and since I can't afford the cost of living there I won't be getting one anytime soon.
I predict that by 2011 gas prices will be over $10.00 per gallon and that 95% of the American population will be driving fuel cell vehicles. But don't quote me on that....it may just be wishful thinking. If it does happen, whether by choice or as a result of the ever increasingly unaffordable price of gasoline, the environment will thank us.

I live in the midwest and feel that southern California should not have a monopoly on Fuel Cell cars. It needs to be tested in oher climates. With Honda's Home Energy Station the supply of Hydrogen is not much of a problem, make your own. If it isn't for real cold weather, drive your other car that day. I'm ready.
Wow, that's cool. I did not know Honda had a Home Energy Station. I haven't done much research on the subject lately, but I don't feel that CA nescessarily has a monopoly on the tech. I am hopeful that it will be brought out to other regions eventually...but they have to start somewhere. Once they get the bugs worked out of the infrastructure there, then they will likely spread to other areas. With gas prices now predicted to get anywhere from $5 to $7, it can't get here soon enough.
