Happy Earth Day! To help celebrate Earth Day I want to help shed some light on the new Fuel-Cell technology. What are the perks, its downfalls, is it safe? Read on and decide for yourself.

Many wonder what the future of vehicles will look like. Some have speculated a world of electric cars, others solar powered. Honda, who is one of the most innovative car manufacturers on the planet seems to believe it to be hydrogen fuel-cells.
Fuel-cells work by storing hydrogen in tanks and converting it into electricity that powers an electric motor. Because the vehicle is not a hybrid …read more

Mercedes S400 Hybrid
Porsche Cayenne Hybrid

Of course, the key advantages are reducing the nation’s dependence on oil, and the fact that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles emit only water vapor.”

The bad news, and the reason why these cars won’t be on the market by next year? (Or the year after.) Though fourth generation, the current hydrogen cells being used by GM have an estimated 50,000 mile lifespan. Experts …read more
