Reasons to invest in the Fuel Cell Technology
• 40+ Hydrogen Fueling Stations in US (38inCA, 1inFL, 1in HI)
• We’re Too Dependent On Oil
• Fuel cells run on hydrogen & oxygen. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and one that exists everywhere on earth... meaning it is impossible for any one people or geographical region to monopolize it.
• Virtually Zero Emissions (keep our air free of pollution)
• Jeremy Metz, the energy team leader for Verizon. "It's clean, quiet and helps us become energy independent. We rely heavily on the power grid, and we wanted to look for alternatives."
• Fuel Cells Give control to a company over its power supply instead of worrying about unstable infrastructure we have now.
• No more California Energy Crisis. No More North East Black Outs!
• Low Cost Fuel Cell Manufacturing Capability:
• Ground Floor Investment:
• Large Market Demand:
• Global Warming (Need I Say More?)
• Awareness is multiplying quickly
• Government is funding the sector substantially
• Democrats now have control of the house and senate!
• The rising cost of oil, a more environmentally-conscious public, and fears that oil supplies will dry up within 50 years are forcing change.
• Fuel cells are essentially electrochemical cells and operate following the same basic mechanism as everyday batteries. However, unlike batteries, where all of the chemicals used in the cell are contained and when the reaction is complete the battery is dead, fuel cells have a constant flow of fresh chemicals into the cell and so in theory have an unlimited life.
• There is considerable progress being made, and governments and organizations are beginning to see the results from the huge amount of research they have supported into fuel cell technologies
• Energy sources of the future will have to be cleaner and more efficient than current sources – fuel cells fulfill these requirements.
• A fuel cell operating at 60% efficiency would emit 35-60% less CO2 at the fossil fuel stage and 80% less from hydrogen. Along with the hydrogen fuel cells' high efficiency (from 40-70%), the possibility of utilizing both heat and electricity from them will make a significant contribution to reducing atmospheric emissions
• Oil production has peaked and will begin to decline just as the demand for oil is exploding as developing countries, especially China and India, are modernizing and industrializing at an incredible, oil gobbling rate. The Chinese alone are swarming the planet in an oil buying frenzy!
• In July of 2004, oil was $35.00 a barrel. Today, it’s near $65.00 a barrel. In 2003, gas was $1.38 a gallon - today it is $2.70 a gallon! $6.00 a gallon in Europe!
• Seventy percent of the earth's remaining oil reserves are in the Middle East! Controlled by—let’s be frank--the most violent, hateful, and ignorant men on earth! Men who despise Western and Asian Civilization and pray for the death of all us infidels!
• Fuel cells are environmentally perfect – producing electricity via chemical reaction -- exhausting only heat and water so pure you can drink it from the tailpipe of a fuel cell car.
• Fuel cells come in all different sizes, from micro fuel cells for portable electronics, to transportation fuel cell for vehicles, to small stationary fuel cells for homes, to gigantic stationary fuel cells for building complexes and regions.
• The major car makers have billions invested in fuel cell vehicles. Honda has the most advanced fuel cell car on earth, due to hit the showrooms in 2008. GM and Hyundai both plan to sell fuel cell cars in 2009. Daimler Chrysler is road testing 100 fuel cell cars around the world. Fuel Cell buses are already on the road. Japan already tested a fuel cell train this July 2006…And this is the last fuel cell market that will develop!
• The Prime Minister of Japan has a fuel cell in his official residence to symbolize the Japanese commitment to the Hydrogen Economy. This market will get serious in 2008.
• There are over 4,000 large, stationary fuel cells providing auxiliary, and sometimes baseline power to Hospitals, Hotels, Universities, and building complexes around the world. This market, priced at $154 million in 2003, is predicted to be $11.4 billion by 2009
• President Bush (a republican) dedicated $1.2 billion over five years for research.
• The Hydrogen Economy officially began on April 24, 2003 with the opening of the world's first retail hydrogen filling station in Reykjavik, Iceland. Now--just like coal replaced wood, and oil replaced coal--hydrogen will now replace oil as the lifeblood of planet earth.
