Hosted by Alexandra Paul from Baywatch and Melrose Place, this film not only presents the promise of a future featuring hydrogen as a mainstream energy source, but also shows us just how far we've already come in our movement towards a viable and sustainable hydrogen based economic infrastructure. We visit hydrogen refueling stations around the world, tour entire buildings and individual homes powered by onsite hydrogen generators, see how zero-emission bus fleets are benefiting cities in the U.S., Japan and Europe, and examine giant leaps forward in hydrogen fuel cell technology. We explore how eight of the world's leading car manufacturers are planning a transition to hydrogen fueled vehicles on a giant scale and are drawing from NASA's decades of experience with this safe and clean fuel. The specific process of deriving energy from hydrogen is outlined and comparisons in safety and efficiency are drawn between hydrogen and gasoline as onboard fuel sources. This piece is thorough, informative and inspiring. Comes with an extensive 47 page study guide.
