"Hydrogen is pretty cool. It's a zero emission fuel. You take oxygen from the air, hydrogen from your tank and it combines to make water, electricity and heat. So zero emissions are coming out of your car," said National Renewable Energy Lab spokesman Keith Wipke.

The hydrogen fuel cars were on display at the state Capitol on Monday. The vehicles were made by three different manufacturers and are available in California now.
