Default Green Sports Car unveiled at Geneva Motor Show.

How's this? A hydrogen driven Sports Car, with zero emissions and a range of 250 miles on a tank of hydrogen, and all that comes out of it's exhaust is water vapour!

See, it can be done when the techies put their minds to it.

How about the lasses? I quite fancy one myself.

It's good to see that the £1.9 m cost of development has been partially met by the UK government.

This is really neat. Now if they can just come up with a minivan that does this, so I can haul my kids around in it.
I wonder how much it would cost to fill up one of these with the hydrogen fuel? It can't be too bad if some places are using it for their bus systems.

Morgan has been working on this for a while. Unlike other hydrogen cars, this one has a wooden frame. Hydrogen fuel near where I'm at is around $4.99 per liter (gallon equivalent) so gasoline is getting ever so close.

That's what I'm talking about! Not only is it zero emissions but it's beautiful.

Some of my more macho students say they don't want a smart car or a hybrid because it goes too slow and doesn't look hot. Maybe this would change their minds about greener cars...

Lydsey.. you have to start drilling into them more agressively that 'green is cool'

Maybe showing them this car is a good way to start!
