  |
|
| Quote: | Japanese car manufacturer Honda has begun the first commercial production of a zero-emission, hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicle.
The four-seater, called FCX Clarity, runs on electricity produced by hydrogen, and emits water vapour.
Honda claims the vehicle offers three times better fuel efficiency than a traditional, petrol-powered car.
Honda plans to produce 200 of the cars, which are initially available only to lease, over the next three years. |
that's 200.
In 3 years.
we are f****, err I mean saved

They built a dedicated line to making these things. It's like trying to build LEO capable rockets in the 30s! When will these schmucks learn?
Toyota are stalled due to lack of batteries, they're trying to catch up, of course:
| Quote: | | It is reported that the company is likely to spend around $673.1 million on the planned plants, to facilitate an annual battery output of one million units by 2011. |
Good thing a billion dollars isn't what it used to be!
