Seeking Clarity

With gas prices hovering around $5 per gallon in some areas of NYC, drivers are looking for a new deal. It cost me $90 (!?!) to fill up the Dodge Durango that a friend let me borrow while she was out of town.

Yesterday, Honda Motor celebrated the start of production of its FCX Clarity, the world’s first hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle intended for mass production.

Just 200 of the futuristic vehicles will be built over the next three years with an eventual increase in production as hydrogen filling stations became more common.

Fuel cells work by combining hydrogen and oxygen from ordinary air to make electricity, in a process whose only byproducts are water and heat.

A few dozen of the cars will be leased for $600 per month (including maintenance and collision coverage) in California.

Perhaps if Americans… no Earthlings… really jump on the alternative fuel and hybrid bandwagon and decrease our demand and reliance, we can not only decrease the cost of fuel which in turn affects the cost of everything not only including gas, but plastics, pharmecuticals, food, etc. And in turn we’ll save the planet.

How about it world?
