Green Cars Drive Into LA Spotlight

Posted Jun 14, 08 3:00 PM CDT in Business Technology Arts & Living US 

(Newser) – Hydrogen cars are the latest Hollywood must-have, and automakers are more than happy to see stars behind the wheel, the LA Times reports. The vehicles—which emit nothing but water—instantly speed celebrities to first place in the game of green one-upmanship. They are still years away from going on sale to the public.

"I want to do everything I can to make sure that people know that the technology is available and we are not far off from having this on the road," said Til Death star Joely Fisher. She's enjoying the "bragging rights" of having one of just 20 existing BMW Hydrogen-7s, and figures it's worth the hassle of having to travel to one of just 61 hydrogen fueling stations in the country to fill up.
