[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Is the Honda Clarity the future as James May suggests?.

My limited understanding.......is that the Clarity is an electric car.......but with no batteries.........that runs on liquid hydrogen.

Will we all be driving about in cars like the Clarity a few years from now...........or will it slowly sink into obscurity.......and then vanish altogether.........like so many concept/design cars before it?.

I think fuel cell based cars may be a likely future if they can overcome the problems, in the same way as leccy cars could, but in the case of electric, they failed.

yes for a number of reasons....

1) it doesn't looks like a car made for freaks (prius)

2) the 'conservationists' love it because it only emits H20

3) it has 'normal' car performance

4) the plan is for it to have 'normal' car price

it does seem like an all round winner

The trouble with fuel cell cars is the Hydrogen part.

Yes its the most common element in the universe, however it still needs to be extracted from other elements.

It has to be scrapped off, and then turned into a usable form, the problem is getting the Hydrogen..... we have to use fossil fuels to extract it.

The last bit will get the yoghurt knitters knickers in a twist must admit it looked a half decent car when they showed it on TG
