Are Hydrogen Cars Good for America?
Policy Study 363

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator John Kerry, and Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman have all hailed hydrogen as an important component of the nationwide effort to develop cleaner, greener, and more sustainable sources of energy. In addition to hydrogen’s perceived efficiency and environmental friendliness, policymakers also have welcomed hydrogen as a source of energy that could wean the country off its dependence on oil and foreign sources of energy.
