A hydrogen economy, in which this one gas provides the source of all energy needs,
is often touted as the long-term solution to the environmental and security problems
associated with fossil fuels. However, before hydrogen can be used as fuel on a global
scale, we must establish cost effective means of producing, storing, and distributing
the gas, develop cost efficient technologies for converting hydrogen to electricity
(e.g. fuel cells), and creating the infrastructure to support all this. This book
not only describes the "how" and "where" aspects of hydrogen fuels cells usage, but
also the obstacles and benefits of its use, as well as the social implications (both
economically and environmental)
