Go Honda!

I never thought the day would come when I would be saying this, but Honda is simply the future. Introducing the Honda FCX clarity. Sure its not exactly a Gallardo, 430 Scuderia or even an M3. Both in looks and in performance, the FCX is like a beached whale compared to the raging bull or prancing stallion.


But you know what? I'll take one anytime. You see, the FCX is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. In essence, that means all you need to do is put hydrogen into the fuel tank and the fuel cell will combine the hydrogen with oxygen to produce electricity. This electricity then runs the electric motors that drive the car.

Unlike current electric cars that need to be plugged in for their batteries to be recharged, this one just needs filling up like how we fill up with petrol at the pumps. Now before you write it off for having an electric motor, Honda has done a decent job coz the FCX has 140 bhp. Acceptable performance, and the only exhaust it has is H2O. Water!

So besides saving the environment, you also eliminate the reliance on petrol. Well its about BLOODY TIME I say. Currently, this car is only available in select states in America. Thats because only these select states have hydrogen pump stations. What are they waiting for? Roll them out and lets do this worldwide! And C'mon Honda! make more of the FCX and lets get all the other car makers in on it too! (Audi are you reading this??) Its time we said goodbye to oil and kick the oil producing nations back into the dark ages and their flying carpets.
