"No greenhouse gasses or other particulates are produced by the use of hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen is produced from various sources, ranging from nonrenewable fossil fuels, such as gas and coal, ro biomass. Biomass is a way to tap into the tremendous quantities of hydrogen present in landfills. It is now possible to capture the methane produced from the decomposition of organic wasre and strip away the carbon to make pure hydrogen fuel. We can actually turn our waste into energy!" - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"Foremost are the cost and performance of the hydrogen fuel cells themselves. Currently, hydrogen fuel cells require complex manual assembly, and therefore production is slow and costly. Furthermore, fuel cells have consistency, quality, and performance issues, including materials' degradation and the inability to work in subfreezing temperatures. Another major issue is finding a way to store enough hydrogen on board the car to support a driving range that is equivalent to that of current gasoline-fueled vehicles, without compromising the passenger and cargo space." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"It is now possible to capture the methane produced from the decomposition of organic wasre and strip away the carbon to make pure hydrogen fuel. We can actually turn our waste into energy! One important wrinkle in the hydrogen solution fabric is that the current energy industry Pooh-Bahs want to develop so-called "black" hydrogen technologies by extracting the gas from fossil fuel sources. But that would further contribute to untenable levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So why develop black hydrogen and continue to pollute and warm the planet when we don't have to?" - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) "We envision the day when you can harness the sun's inextinguishable power to generate electricity from your own rooftop or turn your garbage into hydrogen fuel right in your garage. Imagine being that self-sufficient. Imagine a secure nation with no pipelines and power stations for terrorists to target. Imagine no more wars for oil. Imagine your children growing up playing under blue skies, drinking clean water. Imagine taking a deep refreshing breath, filling your lungs with the life force, feeling invigorated. Can you see it? In the Right-Side Up world, it is as clear as a crisp autumn day." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"At Chevron headquarters in San Ramon, California, a hydrogen fuel cell unit is the primary power source for the data center. Chevron has made a commitment to be more energy efficient in their own everyday operations, and new targets are set each year. Since 1992 Chevron's energy efficiency ahs increased by 24 percent. And of course, Chevron is dedicated to helping other companies conserve as well.44 Chevron Energy Solutions (CES), a subsidiary of Chevron, develops energy-efficient facility improvements for public institutions and businesses." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Not to be left out, Daimler-Chrysler's retired board member Jiirgen Hubbert put the total percentage of hydrogen fuel cell cars at about 1 percent by 2012—and he said Daimler aimed to be building most of them.20) Hydrogen derived from natural gas would be profitable to Big Oil and was going to be part of the energy future. But hybrids were now, and the mistake that GM had made was to ignore the consumer market for hybrids." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "They do not demand a new infrastructure. But hydrogen fuel cell cars do. It isn't there yet. It might be there someday. But it might not matter. We have to explore hydrogen like we have explored electric vehicles, although, ultimately, the EVs [electronic vehicles] did not catch on the way some people thought they might. We found people did not like the inconvenience of finding special limited sites for charging them; again, no infrastructure existed." So was I driving the car of the future?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "First, hydrogen fuel flowed into one electrode. The electrode was coated with a catalyst that strips the hydrogen into electrons and protons. The movement of the electrons generated electricity to power the motor, and the protons passed through a proton-exchange membrane into another electrode. In flowed oxygen; it came in contact with hydrogen. Hydrogen plus oxygen produced water vapors, which were emitted from the vehicle. "There are some twenty-four of these vehicles now here at Ford," said Mushisky. " - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"The long-term solution is likely electric, whether the electricity is provided by a super-efficient battery or by a hydrogen fuel cell. Researchers and automakers are looking to electrify the drivetrain, powering vehicles only with electricity and motors, rather than with petroleum fuel and combustion engines. Several years ago, most people would have said that hydrogen-powered cars were the only solution—and exciting new developments from manufacturers like Honda have restored faith not only in hydrogen cars but also in a future hydrogen economy." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Although high-mass stars contain more hydrogen fuel than low-mass stars, they have higher power outputs and run through the available hydrogen faster. The highest-mass stars use up their nuclear fuel in a few million years; the Sun has enough fuel to last 10 billion years; the smallest stars will take hundreds of billions of years to run through their fuel. Post-Main-Sequence Evolution and Star Death As hydrogen is replaced by helium in a stellar core, a star enters the post-main-sequence stage." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"To make a hydrogen fuel cell car with the same range as today's gasoline-powered car, with comparable passenger room, would require storing the hydrogen at 10,000 pounds per square inch (psi), which is ultrahigh pressure. This can be done, using ultrastrong carbon fibers to reinforce the tanks. Such a tank might even survive a high-speed crash. The question is whether the more delicate plumbing connections from the tank would survive. If not, hydrogen under extremely high pressure would escape rapidly. Hydrogen is extremely flammable." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)

"Over one thousand innocent persons are arrested every day in America for Hemp-related interests, neglecting to direct resources to alleviate government shortcomings, crime, indebtedness, inability to provide incentives for a breakthrough in decentralized solar energy, domestic fuel, hydrogen fuel, other social problems, etc.. Can anyone prove Hemp is not a remnant of the Tree of Life that was to provide immortality to Adam and Eve, their children, and the "healing forthe nations" of later day? Man made alcohol, and God made Hemp. Whom do we trust the most?" - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.) "Find a place to live that's close enough to walk or bicycle to work, and pressure legislators to phase in hydrogen fuel from water. Carbon Tetrachloride A clear, colorless narcotic anesthetic liquid (in minute dose) like chloroform, not flammable. Breaks down to highly-reactive trichloromethy 1 radicals (countered with Selenium and Glutathione-Peroxidase). Caution, very toxic; inhalation can cause acute liver and kidney damage, and death. For overdose, give Oxygen and artificial respiration, wipe with saline solution, and leave saline cathartics inthe stomach." - Joseph E.
