The U.S. imports 55% of its oil, expected to grow to 68% by 2025 under the status quo. Nearly all of our cars and trucks currently run on either gasoline or diesel fuel.
Solution: Hydrogen. Biomass Hydro Wind Solar Nuclear Oil Coal Hydrogen and can be derived from diverse domestic resources. With Carbon Sequestration Natural Gas

NOW WHAT? New York Governor directed and the Public Service Commission commenced a Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard proceeding, with a goal requiring 25% of all delivered electricity in NYS be from renewable sources (including natural gas fuel cells) within 10 years. Executive Order No. 111 continues to target clean energy purchase of 10% for state facilities by 2005 Texas Fuel cell commercialization legislation submitted to legislature currently under consideration by legislature California California Air Resources Board issued distributed generation air emission requirements - highly favorable to distributed generation. Rule 21 adopted - first installation under this rule was a Plug Power system Ohio $100M fuel cell initiative being implemented - Plug Power $500K research proposal under consideration Other states working on initiatives include: NJ, CT, MI, & MA State Government Initiatives
Federal, State and Local Government Support Industry/University Partnerships • Purchase programs to generate volumes • Military applications • Fuel Cell powered buildings and UPS • Government vehicles (how about Post Office vehicles?) • Volumes will drive developers out of labs and into production. The supply chain infrastructure will evolve naturally. Field learning will accelerate. • Infrastructure (fuel) Development (IREE) • Proactive Codes and Standards development (USFCC) – safety, interconnect, etc.
Federal, State and Local Government Support Industry/University Partnerships • Shared Government/Industry funding to nurture consortia approach for appropriate R&D, for example: • Develop University/Industry partnership • IREE needs an Industry/University collaboration “board” to help focus R&D on key roadblocks (such as NSF Center at U of South Carolina) • Consortia will accelerate industry as pre-competitive technology is more widely available • Support for programs like the Upper Midwest Hydrogen Initiative (UMHI)
