... My guess is you drove a car, run by fuel derived from oil. ... Not to mention the fuel the tractors must use to plant and harvest the crops. ... In particular the price of fuel controls the prices of the goods we consume. ... We can’t sacrifice our life saving medications, and we won’t stop making manufactured goods, so ultimately we must look to the largest area of consumption, fuel. Gasoline accounts for the vast majority of all oil consumption, and fuel production will be the first area to be reduced to sustain our oil for other uses. That means we could be looking at fuel prices 20, 30, even 50 times higher than they are today. With fuel prices this high many businesses will be driven out of existence because they are unable to compete, and many citizens will be forced into poverty because a greater percentage of their income is consumed on the bare necessities. ... Something must be done to ensure a fuel supply that is not only cheap, but will last well into the foreseeable future. ... There is a fuel out there and technology to use that fuel which has existed for decades. The fuel we can use is the most abundant substance in the universe. That fuel is hydrogen, and the technology is the fuel cell.
Fuel cells are already beginning to appear in everyday products.
