Huffington Post on Hydrogen

I didn’t go to the Huffington Post directly. I found this particular blog post through the search engines while looking for stories on hydrogen.

On June 6, 2007, Chicago Congressman Dan Lipinski got the bill he had sponsored, the H-Prize Act of 2007, through the U. S. House of representatives with a vote of 408-8.

Fat Hydrogen Atom that Doesn’t Need Diet

When doing hydrogen research, every once in a while something especially silly jumps out that has to be mentioned.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Companies Offer Stock Opportunities

Some investors like living on the leading edge of technology and the stock market. Others, like me, have been sliced and diced on the bleeding edge, still trying to recover from a worthless eTrade portfolio from the great tech stock Bubble Burst a few years back. Nonetheless, for those who have not experienced the burn [...]

2007 State of the Union Address Drops Hydrogen Cars

In past State of the Union Addresses, President Bush has mentioned hydrogen cars as one of the main solutions to America’s addiction to foreign oil and cleaning up the environment.

Automakers Push Government to Focus on Hydrogen Fuel
