Laying The Base For A Hydrogen Economy In The U.S. — Alan Mammoser

Summary:
It's happening.I recall listening to a panel on alternative energy some time ago, maybe around fifteen years ago. One of the panelists was a VP of Exxon.

He also said that the switchover would be expensive and people would be unlikely to pay higher prices. Therefore, without government mandating a switch, it wouldn't happen soon. And  if the mandate was partisan, then that party would suffer a big hit politically.They had clearly gamed this.Oilprice.comLaying The Base For A Hydrogen Economy In The U.S. Alan Mammoser
