Extra! Extra!

A letter of understanding was published yesterday. It was signed by most of the world’s major auto makers — Daimler, Ford, GM/Opel, Honda, Hyundai/KIA, the Alliance Renault/Nissan, Toyota — and encourages governments to develop a uniform hydrogen transportation infrastructure by 2015.

From the letter:

…In order to ensure a successful market introduction of fuel cell vehicles, this market introduction has to be aligned with the build-up of the necessary hydrogen infrastructure. Therefore a hydrogen infrastructure network with sufficient density is required by 2015. The network should be built-up from metropolitan areas via corridors into area-wide coverage….

Let’s get on board!

Most people know that hydrogen is feasible using renewable, stranded power. It does not work when the power comes from fossil fuels.

Geothermal works! It can power up electricity as well as support a hydrogen transportation system.
