With gas prices in most parts of the United States well past $4.00 a gallon, and edging ever upward, interest in finding an alternative fuel source has never been higher. Ethanol, bio-diesel and gasoline-electric hybrids have all already shown up on the market in one form or another, but the auto industry’s darling, hydrogen fuel cells, have for the most part been confined to magazine covers and car expos.
That may change with Honda’s 2008 FCX Clarity, one of the first hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to reach the hands of consumer in the U.S. Beginning in July, the Clarity will move hydrogen technology out of car company labs and onto the streets, when customers begin leasing some of the first publicly available models.
