As part of my research into a new hybrid vehicle to replace my 1997 Mazda Miata M-Edition, I've followed with great interest the development of the Honda FCX, also known as the Clarity. Honda hopes to make the Clarity the worlds first production hydrogen fuel cell powered automobile. With a projected roll-out of 200 cars over the next few years, its clear that one of the major obstacles in the way of moving off a petrochemical based infrastructure is not the ability to produce the vehicle, but the development of a way to distribute hydrogen to a broad market.
The wait continues.
