Fox 11 "Auto Evolution" video series online covers fuel-cells, plug-in hybrids and more
Fox 11 Los Angeles has posted a four-part video series online called Auto Evolution which looks at the green vehicles and auto technology of the future which promise lower emissions and better mileage. John Beard and Christine Devine filed the reports which offer a good cross-section of interviews, background information and on-the-road examples of the technologies covered. Each episode runs around 5 minutes. Part one is below, and the other three are after the jump.
Part one covers hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles including Hyundai Tuscon, Mercedes-Benz F-Cell, Honda FCX and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure...
Analysis: These four videos are well worth your time - check them out.
Thanks for the tip Linton.

I think they could have worked in a bit more info about biofuels. . . But on the whole this was much better and more informative than what we got from Futurecar on Discovery Channel.

Well, if this is better than discovery's futurecar series I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching 'em. Using a biased and clearly brainwashed spokesman to explain the benefits of hydrogen doesn't add to the quality of the series. I guess this series is a good example of the 'greenwashing' that will fall upon the public in years to come. It's already an enormously complex matter to determine which green is really green but when the public gets wrong info, how can they make the right choices? It's so complex that I'm afraid the biggest hurdle will be to counter the slick PR-strikes of big corps. A lot of people are going to make very wrong decisions even though they have good intentions...
I think it's time for an objective carbon-footprint label on every vehicle.
Long live the hydrogen-fallacy!
Yours,
