What’s involved?
What can you do?
- Become educated about the hydrogen economy, look at the suggested reading as a start, and try to get your council, state or federal government to begin switching to hydrogen. Remember, it will take a huge amount of resources, and hence fossil fuels, to complete the switch, so the sooner we start, the better.
- Stay updated on the car industries progress, some say they are three years away from mass producing a hydrogen/petrol car which can run off either fuel. When they come out, buy them, and run them off hydrogen.
