Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens Hydrogen Education Challenge, Day 27 of 50

Neither Al Gore nor T. Boone Pickens mentioned hydrogen cars in their plans to address America’s energy crisis.

Therefore, I issued the Hydrogen Education Challenge to Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens, so they can learn more about hydrogen cars.  I am posting one hydrogen fact for them to read each weekday over ten weeks between August 4th and October 10th on the Hydrogen Discoveries blog.

Once Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens have met the Hydrogen Education Challenge, I am extremely confident that they will both become vocal advocates of hydrogen cars and support the Hydrogen Manhattan Project goal of having:

“Every car on the road in the U.S. powered by hydrogen produced from clean sources of energy by the end of 2020.”

“There is a group of ‘EV Zealots’ who are constantly criticizing all hydrogen related work based on flawed arguments and without examining all the costs of a plug-in system.”
