- Research Alternative Energies to get off Foreign Oil. Al Gore and T. Boone Pickens Hydrogen Education Challenge, Day 49 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.”
Here is the hydrogen fact for day 49:
GM has calculated that only 12,000 hydrogen fueling stations would need to be built in order to have a fueling station within two miles of 70% of the entire U.S. population and one every 25 miles on the freeways between the largest 100 cities.
Hydrogen fueling stations currently cost around $2 million each to build. However, this cost will decrease as more stations are built. Therefore, at an average of $1.5 million per fueling station, the initial 12,000 hydrogen fueling stations would likely cost around $18 billion (which is between 3-4% of the current cost of the Iraq War which is over $500 billion).

Hi! i'm Gary Richards. i think getting local members of "Virginians for Energy Independence" together in a loose social network would be very helpful to achieve freedom from imported oil. Interested?
