<TODAY'S SUBJECT>

The Hydrogen Economy
 
Oil was in the depths of the planet for millions of years before man found a use for it in the internal combustion engine. Unfortunately, this combination of resource and technology is so entrenched in man‘s way of life that it scarcely seems possible even to imagine a day when people may no longer be dependent on oil. One of the great fears is that Earth’s supply of oil is finite and the tank will one day run dry. In addition, oil and the pollutants it causes are choking the life from in the planet. However, the day when people no longer depend totally on oil may be in sight thanks to the recent development of the hydrogen fuel cell and practical applications for it.
