Product Description
Hydrogen stands out as the best alternative to traditional polluting fossil fuels for many reasons-it can be produced without pollution, is nontoxic and noncorrosive, and we can never run out of it. It is as safe as or safer than the fuels we currently use and can be made virtually anywhere. The Hydrogen Age explains this promising fuel, shows how it can be harnessed to serve virtually all of our energy needs, and reveals why hydrogen is destined to become the clean, safe, renewable fuel of choice for the future.

This book is less about the hydrogen age and more about climbing on the band wagon to promote global warming. This book doesn't take long to bring the polar bear into the picture supposedly drowning at sea, which is a falsehood created by Al Gore. Polar bears have gone from a population of 5,000 in 1950 to over 20,000 bears today with over 1,400 being killed annually by hunting. Inuit Eskimo's count polar bears and have seen a dramatic increase in recent years, so I don't think they have seen them eating each other as promoted by this book. Sigh. Go somewhere else if you want to learn about hydrogen power.

This Book Could End Global Warming by Ginevra Clark (Eastern Georgia)

Hydrogen is THE solution to our pathological greed, planetary trespasse, and cruelty to other species. This book shows how to get there: not in thirty years, but in a few years. It comports with the most recent scientific accumulation of data which argues that with national resolve we can make a profound difference. This safe, virtually emissions free alternative to oil can and must wean the feckless consumer off petroleum, each and every one of us, whilst providing a future, after all, for our grandchildren. We urge you to read this book carefully and commend its stalwart authors on a well-balanced, brilliant, gorgeously produced and seductively accessible book. No other work on hydrogen has so trenchantly brought together the up-to-the-minute data, the chorus of informed voices,and the readable prose to transform what was an engineering conundrum into an everyday addition to our lives. And at relatively minor cost to the planet. Zero, by comparison with fossil fuels.

Well Rounded and Researched by Matthew W. Burks (Boulder, CO)

It is far too common place these days to find books without any intention of providing a well-rounded and well-researched perspective to its readers. As many of us have experienced, it is far too easy to polarize over increasingly divisive issues like energy, its implications and its solutions. There are zealots on both sides of the fence using outdated and often outrageous statistics to bolster their claim for one technology or another; however, The Hydrogen Age does a good job of avoiding this trap. It is optimistic, yet realistic, providing a good sense of what is happening today and the role hydrogen technologies can/will play in our future. Remember that the "Silver Bullet" is a myth. Although there is no single solution, The Hydrogen Age provides excellent insight into one of the tools already being utilizing to meet the developing/developed future energy challenges. - Matthew Burks - President, Hydrogen Energy Center (www.hydrogenenergycenter.org)

It's an excellent pick for any who would understand the technology and applications of hydrogen by Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)

Any who would understand civilization's energy history and needs should have THE HYDROGEN AGE in their collection, whether it be for an easy college-level introduction or for the general-interest public. Here is a guide to civilization's passage from a carbon to hydrogen era, considering how such an age will foster new developments and how moving to water-based energy offers new hope and alternatives for the continued progression of civilization. It's an excellent pick for any who would understand the technology and applications of hydrogen, written in a manner any lay reader can understand.

The Hydrogen Age is Here and Now by M. Hicks (Riverside, CA USA)

"The Hydrogen Age" is an exciting illustration of where we are headed in our quest for energy independence. We as a society are so caught up in an environment of scarcity and limitation that we in the general public fail to literally see the "forest for the trees." This book points out there are so many alternatives to solving our energy challenges which are well within our grasp. Petroleum is a wonderfully useful commodity, but is not the be-all or end-all for our energy source. The sources pointed out in this book are unlimited and are not somewhere in the distant future, but are available here and now. We are in need of nothing but the truth and this terrific book shows us how we may accomplish our energy independence. When enough of us are determined to make a change the market place will take care of the doing, and the change will come so quickly we will all wonder why we dallied so long. This wonderfully researched book is truly a way-shower to the future and should be a must read for the general public and especially for those who are teaching our young people. I am very proud of the authors' dedication to telling the truth about energy and illuminating the prospects for the less developed economies of the world. I highly recommend this book.
