Hydrogen Fuel
Cars: Seeing was believing as Gavin Newsom,
the mayor that knows how, drank a cup of water collected from the exhaust
pipe of a car. (See it for yourself in the photo
series!)
Newsom drank the liquid in order to demonstrate the environmental safety
of the hydrogen fuel cell in the Honda FCX. The City has leased two of
the cars. "Pure," Newsom said with a grimace before making San Raphael
Mayor Al Boro take a swig, too. Now that's commitment. No word
yet on whether you'll see auto water on the menu at PlumpJack.
Newsom made history by making San Francisco the first city to add hydrogen
fuel cell vehicles to its fleet. While the media surrounded Newsom and
the auto dealers at Civic Center Plaza, only a few feet away on a folding
chair sat Pastor Roger Huang. Huang stared
straight ahead, quietly resolute on day 8 of his hunger strike to bring
attention to social problems with drugs, alcohol, and pornography in the
Tenderloin. |
