Fuel cell vehicles

By 2020, electricity will emerge as the new cross cutting fuel in both stationary and mobile applications. 1. The cost of energy as we use it has less and less to do with the cost and more to do with the hardware to refine and process the fuel. 2. Waste is virtuous where low quality energy is being converted into high quality energy. High quality energy for a laser costs 1000 times the cost of a 100-watt bulb, however, a laser may be used to restore sight. Why select oil over wood? Oil provides more energy in less space. 3. The more efficient our technology, the more energy we consume. Innovation in transportation transforms the automobile in terms of space, weight, and energy. Electric drive trains have been successfully used in excavation trucks, locomotives, and hybrid electric cars. The electric drive train will supersede the steel shaft, belts, pulleys, and hydraulic system. Automobile weight will reduce. Most of the weight of a car is in the engine and power transmission. It takes 1 ton of machine to move 1 human.
