Ohh yess! Check out what I found!! this is just soo cool!!This is what we have been waiting for,,General Motors will soon put fuel-cell SUVs in the hands of 100 lucky consumers. You could be one of them!! ohh yes u could!! lol..
You still can't walk into a dealership and buy a hydrogen-powered car, but if you live in Orange County, California, Westchester County, New York, or Washington, D.C., where it's easiest to find a hydrogen filling station, you may be able to borrow one for a couple years. Starting this month, in what will be the largest real-world test of fuel-cell passenger vehicles, GM's Project Driveway program is seeking good homes for 100 fuel-cell versions of its Equinox SUV. (Honda, by contrast, has leased just two of its FCX fuel-cell cars to customers.)
As with other fuel-cell vehicles, the Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity, with water vapor as the sole by-product—no smog-forming emissions, no greenhouse gases. Each Equinox stores nine pounds of hydrogen at 10,000 pounds per square inch; 2.2 pounds contain roughly the energy equivalent of a gallon of gasoline. At 50 mpg, the Equinox will travel about 200 miles on a tank. And if you're worried about H-bomb fender-benders, breathe easy: The car is designed to meet all highway safety standards.
GM has yet to decide who will test the futuristic machines, which cost up to $1 million to build, but says that drivers will pay next to nothing, in exchange for their feedback. Interested? Check out this site and maybe you could get one? so after everyhting u read..i think its very cool..and i love the fact that gasoline is about to be out soon..would u own one? what do u think about these?

Hi hon, To be honest I don't think I would want to try one. the crime rate is high in those areas and it would be my luck the thing would be stolen or rum ut of power in the midle of Orange County traffic jams. In all honesty, even if you had the money would you pay that much for a car? And wold all that water vapor cause seeding of rain clouds or humidity? Ok, just joking there.
Nah, I think they should design a foot powered car with a fan that spins and creates energy enough to power the vehicle after a while with out the foot power. Kinda like the old battery operated bicycles but on a Fred Flintstone sorta scale. I'd try that!! Only sweat emissions there.
