Tomorrow's Energy: Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and the Prospects for a Cleaner Planet
Hydrogen specialist Hoffmann chronicles the worldwide progression of hydrogen energy from a niche market to a viable commercial product. He argues that fossil fuels will not be cheap to find in the future, and that hydrogen is ideal as a nonpolluting form of energy for fuel cells. He clearly covers safety issues, economics, and the dificulty in moving our national energy policy away from fossil fuels. 2002, The MIT Press
