All the fuss seems to be about Hybrid Cars now, with the Chevy Volt appearing on the most tweeted list on twitter, claims that it will return 230 mpg in the city seem very impressive, if slightly pushing credibility. The thing about this form of Hybrid is that it relies upon electrical power. If the electrical power supplied to re-charge the battery comes from Wind farms, great, everyone seems to be onto a winner. If the power comes from fossil fuels, then aren't we back at square one ?
The Honda FCX Clarity car is miles ahead of the competition from this writers' point of view. With a hydrogen fuel cell, the only by-product of the car is water. The car still relies upon electricity and a battery though. The Honda FCX Clarity was named 2009 World Green Car. This illustrates the problem that the US is going to have in competing with Asian car companies in the future, and explains why the US government have spent $1.3 Billion dollars in grants to companies which will improve green technologies for cars, car parts and battery components. All well and good, but there also needs to be a push to convert to greener power stations.
