The Next Step for the Hydrogen Fuel Cell
The hydrogen fuel cell.
You ve been hearing about it for years. In fact, I bet you can t remember a time when this little-understood technology wasn t being talked about.
It goes back further than you think.
Hydrogen fuel cells were the primary power source for NASA s legendary Apollo moon missions more than half a century ago.
That s a small but very telling indicator of just how reliable the technology is. Sadly, 50-some years later, we ve yet to see any mass adoption of the power source for the consumer market.
The reason is simple: Hydrogen isn t cheap to produce, store, or transport.
