My Future Car

As some of you may know I recently purchased a new Honda Civic (not a hybrid) but I am already looking for my next car. I plan on my Civic having a life time of 8 - 10 years after which I will be trading it in on a car that will most likely look a lot like Honda's FCX concept car. - http://automobiles.honda.com/future-cars/fcx-concept.aspx - The FCX is powered by hydrogen fuel cell. Honda is realising a production model car based on the FCX that does contain a hydrogen fuel cell in 2008. However, currently the only hydrogen refuelling stations in Illinois are in the greater Chicago area. - http://www.h2stations.org - I will be keeping a close eye on the release of Honda's new hydrogen fuel cell car and the development of hydrogen fueling stations in Illinois. Hopefully, by the time I am ready to trade in my current car both hydrogen cars and fueling stations will be common place.

However, Honda has already thought of the lack of fueling stations and developed a way to fuel your hydrogen car using the natural gas line coming to your home.

Hydrogen is the way of the future! Ethanol's days are numbered.

Toys Gone Bad

First it was lead and now it is ecstasy. How low will our children's toys go?
