Looks at natural gas and hydrogen as sources of energy and discusses the technology needed for conversion and storage as well as the energy economy and related political issues and government policies.
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.
Raises questions about the use of hydrogen power and whether or not it can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, whether or not it can supply the world's electricity needs, or how will it impact global warming. Concludes with asking a question about the future of hydrogen power.
Hydrogen power is considered by some to be a promising source of alternative energy. Through a narrative-driven pro/con format supported by facts, quotes, anecdotes, and full-color illustrations this title examines the future of hydrogen power.
Combines text with diagrams, maps, charts, and photographs to explore hydrogen fuel; discussing how it is processed, where it is available, and the environmental consequences of using it. Includes a glossary and a list of resources.
