Hydrogen Cars

Honda FCX Clarity
I see hydrogen cars as our future because they truly give us the freedom on the road that we are used to with our gasoline powered cars with their only emission being water vapor.  Hydrogen cars currently come in one of two ways.  One setup is to have a hydrogen fuel cell that generates electricity to power an electric motor, giving you an electric car without the restrictions imposed on you with batteries that have to be recharged, such as in the Honda FCX Clarity.  The other setup is currently being researched by BMW, and involves using an internal combustion engine that runs on hydrogen instead of gasoline, giving you a much greener car.  I much prefer the second method because it means not taking away the fun of driving proper cars.
