New Hydrogen push in an effort to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Bush has already committed two billion dollars to jumpstart hydrogen research and development, and California is pushing to get 200 hydrogen filling stations built in the next five years.
DIAMOND BAR, California - Conservatives and liberals seem more divided than ever these days.
But there is one issue that has become so critical, it is bringing some from even the far Right and far Left together -- breaking America's addiction to foreign oil.
He added, "We are relying on nations to supply us oil who are unstable at best, and downright dangerous and hostile at worst.
Gaffney and allies of his on both right and left are promoting hi-tech breakthroughs that now make possible fueling systems and homegrown fuels that could give our cars 500 miles to the gallon.
Others, President Bush and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger among them, are pushing for something even more radical: getting rid of the gas tank altogether and replacing it with hydrogen power.
Bush has already committed close to two billion dollars to jumpstart converting the country to hydrogen.
Reinert explained the process, "Fuel cells in an H2-powered car work pretty simply.
That is the dream of folks like Cynthia Verdugo-Peralta, who works in the Air Quality Management District that includes Los Angeles, usually the number one city for smog.
And almost all of it comes from vehicles.
Chris White works at the California Fuel Cell Partnership, where automakers, energy companies and government are all working together to create the hydrogen highway.
White says that one reason power is so expensive is the cost of getting it, producing it, transporting it.
"Nobody thinks twice about sitting on top of a 30-gallon gasoline tank in a vehicle right now -- much more volatile, much more flammable than hydrogen.
Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman predicts that consumers will be happily buying hydrogen-cars in large numbers by 2020 or so.
