Honda has introduced the new FCX Clarity, a hydrogen fuel cell car which runs on hydrogen and electricity and emits only water and none of the noxious fumes believed to induce global warming.
It is two times more efficient than a gas-electric hybrid and three times than that of a typical gas powered vehicle.
They are being produced on a very limited basis so far - as few as 200 units over the next three years in California at a cost of $600 per month (leased).
The FCX Clarity has a range of 270 miles and equals 74 miles per gallon. It can reach up to 100 miles per hour.
The reason the release is limited to California is because that's where the initial fuel stations are located. Without a fuel cell station, it is a big paperweight.
However, it's a great start.
Over time, technology will get even better, the costs will decrease and more hydrogen stations will pop up and spread across California and other states.
Just a matter of time.
