Hydrogen cars may not be the only solution when it comes to zero emissions and weaning this country off of fossil fuels. One other solution is less cars. And, on that note several companies have been involved in car-sharing programs to help those who would like to give up their automobiles but still need a […]

Peak oil is looming and peaking at us from around the corner. This is according to the Oil Depletion Analysis Centre in London. The scientists there have stated that cheap crude oil actually peaked in 2005 and when one considers heavy crude oil in hard to get to placed like deep sea bottoms, then the […]

Well, if geeks may one day rule the world, it may just be the Greek geeks that are leading the pack. A group of Greek scientists at the University of Crete have discovered a method to store hydrogen using carbon nanotechnology.
Currently, most hydrogen cars use hydrogen stored in highly compressed form between 5,000 psi and […]

Last week I had talked about three friends who had built a solar-hydrogen home in Washington State. I emailed one of the friends, Jason Lerner, to ask him how the project is moving along.
Here is his reply:
Jason Lerner: Yes, our project is going well. We are just installing the newest fuel cell from Reli-on, and […]

I last talked about hydrogen airplanes almost a year ago in August, so I thought it was time for an update. Recently, researchers at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in Tallahassee, Florida along with scientists from NASA have been working on developing a hydrogen fuel cell airplane that uses advanced superconductors to power the aircraft.
The hydrogen […]

A few months ago, I blogged about how China was joining the U. S. FutureGen Initiative and that India had already joined. Now, the FutureGen Industrial Alliance has chosen the Washington Group International (WGI) to help build the world’s first clean coal power plant prototype.
WGI has 25,000 employees in 30 countries and is a pioneer […]

Yesterday I blogged about the solar-hydrogen home being built on an island in the Caribbean. On previous occasions, I’ve talked about other hydrogen homes that have already been built and are functioning in New Jersey, New York, Arizona and New Mexico.
Now, I would like to give a little attention to the solar-hydrogen home that has […]

Ya, mon! Solar and hydrogen power are coming to the Cayman Islands. Just 500 miles from Miami, the first solar-hydrogen home in the Caribbean is being built that will be carbon neutral and self-sustaining.
Renewable Energy International (REI) along with Mike Strizki who built the first solar-hydrogen home in New Jersey, will be undertaking this Cayman […]

Hydrogen cars have many competitors that could, in theory, knock them out of existence entirely, retard the industry’s growth and acceptance or at least take a bite out of future market share. Some of the obvious threats to hydrogen cars are those powered by electricity, biofuels, compressed air and plug-in hybrids.
But, there is another threat […]
