The AP featured news of the Honda (NYSE:HMC) FCX Clarity, a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell car. The alternative fuel car will make its July debut in Hollywood California. Several celebrities have already ordered theirs, including Jamie Lee Curtis and husband Christopher Guest.
The FCX Clarity runs on hydrogen and electricity and emits water vapor, though I'm guessing you can't steam your curtains. Besides earning kudos for decreased pollution, the hydrogen car is also more efficient than both gasoline and gas-electric hybrid cars.
The car, however super-green it may be, has some major hurdles. First, there are almost no hydrogen gas stations; only 3 in all of Southern California. Second, the car is incredibly expensive. The last hurdle, Toyota's (NYSE:TM) dominant Prius sales.
