Honda FCX Clarity Fuel Cell Car Production & First Customers

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. announced five of the first customers for its advanced new FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle and also provided details of the world's first fuel cell vehicle dealership network in the United States. The announcements were made during a ceremony for the start of FCX Clarity production at the world's first dedicated fuel cell vehicle manufacturing facility in Japan on June 15, 2008. Film producer Ron Yerxa will take delivery of the first FCX Clarity in July. The remaining four early adopters for Honda's next-generation fuel cell vehicle are author and actress Jamie Lee Curtis and her filmmaker husband Christopher Guest; business owner and car enthusiast Jim Salomon; actress Laura Harris; and Jon Spallino, already the world's first retail fuel cell vehicle customer, who has been leasing the current generation FCX since 2005. Yerxa, Harris and Spallino attended the event in Japan. http://www.honda.com

Well, the car definitely has a green potential, but as long as hydrogen production uses 85% of it's energy to be produced from fossil fuels... Lets say, it's between black and dark-green.

The Honda FCX produced enough power to light up an entire street or about 10 house (tv/pc/fridge on) and only water will come out of the car. HYDROGEN is the future and Honda is bringing it to U.S.

GM/Ford need to get into this before they stay even more behind than what they are now. GM/FORD please tell me u can do better than just hybrid? hybrid is just a battery/gas engine ruled by Toyota and Honda.

Attention all Americans and peoples of the world - hydrogen fuel cells is NOT the way to go - we as peoples of the world are then TRAPPED once again into purchasing hydrogen from some idiot or BIG HYDROGEN at that point - the REVOLUTION in energy is NOW. STAND UP as peoples of the world against BIG OIL and now BIG HYDROGEN. We need a SELF-SUSTAINING hydrogen generating device that uses simply water.On YOUTUBE,lookup Stanley Meyer, Daniel Dingel and HHO.The homegrown hydrogen REVOLUTION is NOW!

Hey dewd, I have a life. I also want to see that all people of this planet live on a clean planet and don't have to be trapped by another scheme to pay some idiot like BIG OIL or BIG HYDROGEN their hard earned money for fuel. Take your snotty-nosed comments somewhere else. This site is for adults.

Hey dude, get a life. Stan's invention is a perpetual motion machine...which does not make any sense. He's been sued in millions by companies which invested in his so called "zero point energy". So Americans & people of the world...don't be fooled by "smart people" who don't even have any scientific background.
