springTHE FUTURE
The automotive industry has a hub-bub of new technology coming out over the next couple of decades. One of the biggest concerns is using our fossil fuels, and the emissions we create in the process. For years, different companies, governments, and universities have been looking for the perfect no-emission transportation.


FUTURE CARS: THE HYDROGEN FUEL CELL CAR
The one that we're most excited about is the new hydrogen powered fuel cell car. Following are some links to more information on this no-emission vehicle. The only emission this car produces from its tailpipe is water. It has been said that you can drink from the tailpipe of this car ... Some of the major car companies are also fueling their own efforts in the 'no-emission' arena:

Ford's Zero Emission Vehicle - The only emission is water!
Ford has developed a zero emission vehicle, using the hydrogen fuel cell. Now we are getting somewhere!

Honda InsightToyota PriusTwo new hybrid cars available from Honda and Toyota.
Finally we are making some progress in fuel conservation. These cars utilize electricity and gas to achieve some major MPGs!
