The Honda FCX Clarity
The Toyota Prius finally has some competition in the ultra-green category. Honda has begun the consumer test run of it’s zero-emission hydrogen car, the FCX Clarity. About 200 select drivers will be able to lease the Clarity for $600 a month, but only in California. They’re limiting the cars to California because that state has the most developed infrastructure of hydrogen refueling stations. There will be more added in time, but as for now, only Cali residents like Jamie Lee Curtis and Hollywood producer Ron Yerxa are able to drive hydrogen.

Parking in London, or any of the world’s great cities, can be a nightmare - there is always one more car than there are spaces.
With space at such a premium, some parking garages, such as the one at the famous department store Harrod’s, have hydraulic ramps installed so that cars can be stacked on top of each other.

Possible Design of Next Prius
At every major crossroads in the automotive industry, car manufacturers have stepped up to produce… garbage. Ok, that’s not always true, but maybe that isn’t so bad either. Even failures, often ESPECIALLY failures, have ultimately forced car companies out of a comfortable status quo mentality to produce better, faster and safer vehicles.

A few years ago, many were screaming ‘the day it reaches $1 a gallon is the day I start walking” but $1 a gallon is already just a fond memory, some story you will be able to tell your grandchildren about in a few years. The highly respected financial analysts’ CIBC World Markets believe that $200 a barrel is less than two years away, which equates to $7 a gallon. The Saudi oil minister said in a speech in May that he predicts $250 a barrel ‘in the near future’.

The first public fueling station to provide both hydrogen and gasoline opened in Santa Monica last month. Shell Hydrogen and GM combined forces to give drivers in Chevy’s Project Driveway program an LA-based location to refuel their Equinox fuel cell vehicles, which are currently being test driven by “regular foks” on Southern California’s roads and freeways.

The Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen car has begun commercial production, with 200 cars slated to be produced over the next 3 years. While that number is quite low, it bodes well for fuel-cell technology that one of the world’s largest car manufacturers is starting to crank these cars out into the streets.
