fuel cells

Chronicles the history of mankind's study and use of hydrogen and describes the creation of new vehicles that use hydrogen or fuel cells. Examines the potential for these vehicles to cut down on carbon dioxide emissions and considers how long it will take for these types of vehicles to become the norm.

Presents information of the history and development of energy efficient, "clean" cars that are designed to reduce pollution and dependency on fossil fuels, including electric, hydrogen based, and hybrid gas and electric models.

Discusses the promise of hydrogen fuel cells as a solution to energy and environmental problems, looks at key issues involved in making the transition to a hydrogen economy, and concludes that energy policies in the early twenty-first century do not support the rapid transition that is needed to halt climate change.

Explains what fuel cells are, and tells how scientists are working to produce safe, cost-effective fuel cells to power our world.
