Honda has finished thier fuel-cell prototype car and will start leasing them to the public in southern california this year.

the technology behind that is amazing... it produces electricity without combustion, only emits heat and water vapor.
But the really cool thing... since Honda is a Japanese company, the greedy oil-based american politicians cant stop them, and Honda is big enough that the Oil Company Mafias cant scare them off.
only thing the website doesnt mention, is how much it costs to refill the hydrogen tank.
Honda is also working on a unit that can refill the car in your garage, and also provide power for your home. Now thats really cool.
I think that when the biggest engine maker in the world rolls out a fuel-cell powered, electric drive vehicle, that its really saying something.
