Greener auto technology aids in creating
a cleaner environment
Cleaner and greener auto technology is exploding, according
to a comprehensive article in the March/April 2007 issue
of E – The Environmental Magazine. From fuel cells
to plug-in hybrids, the industry hasn’t shown more
research and development since the halcyon days of 1900,
when gasoline, steam, and electric vehicles (EVs) were
competing in the marketplace. [More]

The latest evolution of the Honda FCX fuel-cell
car is zero emission, fun to drive, has a 300 mile range, and
is quickly refilled at a hydrogen pumping station. Costs remain
very high, and there are only about 30 hydrogen stations in
the U.S.
