hydrogen is the fuel of the future

This week is the Shanghai Auto Show, which will feature several alternative vehicles. One of the most exciting will be a hydrogen-fueled version of the Chevrolet Volt. The Volt uses lithium-ion batteries and a fuel cell, extending its range to 300 miles with vitually no emissions-only water vapor. How cool is that?? The Volt won't be available for sale for a few years, but can certainly be something to look forward to.
Sounds too good to be true? It probably is because these concept cars are bound to be expensive. This is a great move in the right direction, but it won't really be effective until we make a car that's affordable for average working people.

I definitely agree with you.


Hydrogen Fuel is only Matter of Time
