Many folks are calling for a Manhattan Project that can help kick-start our use of renewable energy alternatives. Wind, solar, wave and geothermal (with energy-storage technology) offer the highest opportunities energy for self-sufficiency, but they are not the only alternatives.
Recently scientists have discovered ways of using algae to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and a start-up in California is developing microbes that excrete oil!
Join a group of like-minded individuals who are currently discussing new forms of renewable energy.
The new FCX-Clarify holds a lot of promise, potentially fulfilling the dream of California’s CARB that clean, hydrogen-powered cars would be zipping around the state. However, many skeptics still say that the technology is to far ahead of its time. They point to limited supply of hydrogen, the Clarify will only be sold in Southern California to start, and the challenges that Honda will face in scaling the production of the high-tech fuel cell carried on-board.
Let’s hope that the FCX succeeds, and helps propel the development of the next generation hydrogen vehicles.
