Overview

A hype-free explanation of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies that takes a hard look at the practical difficulties of transitioning to a hydrogen economy, and reveals why, given increasingly strong evidence of the gravity of climate change, neither government policy nor business investment should be based on the belief that hydrogen cars will have meaningful commercial success in the near or medium term. This is a provocative primer on the politics, business, and technology of hydrogen and climate protection.
