 The transition has begun that will wean our society from gas powered cars to electric. As we strive to improve the environment and grapple with rising fuel costs, green electric cars are now on the minds of every auto executive and commuter. While there are “green ratings” for hybrid cars, which use a combination of gas and battery power, the only truly green vehicle that will ease your gas pump pain is one that uses no gas and features zero-emissions, like the electric truck by Phoenix Motors and the Hydrogen-powered Honda Clarity (right). If you are fortunate enough to be in a region where electric cars are sold, you can invest in transportation that is both kind to your wallet and a blessing to the environment. Expect more arrivals nationwide within 2 years.

consumers may not notice that they're getting a break on some items
they buy." (Read the CNBC report that names the lower priced items, like electronics, clothes, toys hotel rooms and theme parks)

Toyota Motor Corp. said Friday it had developed a new zero-emission
fuel-cell vehicle that has a longer cruising distance than previous
models and can operate in freezing temperatures. Japanese companies have been working to create a viable zero-emission car running on fuel cells, which produce electricity
through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, leaving water as the only by-product.
Honda plans to begin leasing its hydrogen-powered fuel cell sedan, Clarity, in the United States starting
next month, and is testing a home refueling station for it. MSNBC has a nice page here about the Honda plans and some interactive features, like a comparison of hybrid cars along with a list of greenest 2007 vehicles.
Anthony Eggert, a researcher at the Institute of Transportation Studies
at the University of California, Davis, also sees it as promising.
"Home refueling," he says, "is one potentially attractive strategy to
get fuel cell vehicles into the market without wide-scale
infrastructure availability."
