High hopes for hydrogen
Article Abstract:
Fuel-cell vehicles are very efficient compared to the gasoline cars, and is made without adding any greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. A shift to hydrogen transportation system with the development of light weight cars, more efficient engines and hybrid electric driver trains will result in raising fuel economy, and reducing carbon emissions and oil use.
