Honda to produce fuel cell car in three to four years

A Coup? GM and Toyota have a running fuel cell vehicle today. The problem for fuel cells today is two fold. The first is building fuel cells at a cost that will compete with current engines. The cost of building enough fuel cells to power a convention vehicle is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The second is the many billions of dollars it will cost to build a hydrogen distribution system and fueling station with the almost imposable task of getting one build within the limitations of current environmental and zoning laws

A third is all the carbon dioxide released when making hydrogen gas. The gas is usually made from methane. It can also be made by electrolysis, but the electricity for this has to come from something, in other words, fossil fuels.

So by using hydrogen, you don't get rid of the greenhouse gases.

NASA has been using fuel cells for over 40 years.

And our bodies have been using fuel cells (mitochondria) for eons.
