Not long ago environmentalists, mainstream
media commentators, industry analysts, General Motors, and
even President Bush predicted that emission-free hydrogen
fuel cells would ride to the rescue in a matter of years.
That is proving to be a fantasy. In The
Hype About Hydrogen, Joseph Romm first revealed why,
and since its publication, over 200 publications nationwide,
including Scientific American, Forbes, and
The New York Times, have turned to this book for
the real story on hydrogen.
For this new paperback edition, Romm has
added an afterword showing how the field has changed in
just 18 months, and offering a hype-free explanation of
why the car of the future is an "e-hybrid," a
hybrid that can also be plugged into the electric grid.
Joseph J. Romm served in various positions
in the Department of Energy during the Clinton administration.
Currently the Executive Director of the Center for Energy
and Climate Solutions, and a Principal with the Capital
E Group, he is the author of Cool Companies (Island Press
1999).
