Hydrogen Cars

Hydrogen cars are not only the future, they are here, now. When hydrogen cars become the status quo, the U. S. can lessen its dependence upon foreign oil, achieve lower prices at the fuel pumps and cut down on the greenhouse gases that produce global warming. The future of hydrogen cars is not a pipe dream, as there are already many hydrogen cars on the road. California and Japan have many hydrogen cars being used as fleet vehicles now.

Hydrogen-fueled Cars Enhanced with 13 Lucky Enzymes

It seems that, in almost every newspaper or news magazine you pick up these days, you'll find a new energy technology. With billions of dollars invested into finding an alternative to fossil fuels-or more likely, many alternatives-we're caught in the midst of a race to discover a cost-effective system for powering the gigantic transportation industry.

Who knows which technologies will ultimately become as commonplace as gasoline? The question is truly still up in the air...maybe literally, when it comes to hydrogen.

Hydrogen carThe hydrogen economy is often depicted as an ideal futuristic scenario where cars could run indefinitely on the most abundant element in the universe: hydrogen. However, there are still many hurdles to overcome in order to fuel an entire society with hydrogen, mainly because collateral costs (for such needs as production, storage and transportation of hydrogen) are still very high.

One of the latest innovations in hydrogen fuel research is the discovery that 13 enzymes found in nature, when added to water and some kind of starch (biomass material such as wood and plants) break down the water into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The enzymes are found in such diverse areas as plants, rabbits, bacteria, and yeast.
