Briefly Noted: Inherent Uncertainties in Climate Change Climate change is inherently uncertain, and policy makers should perhaps hew to the old adage, “Go with what you’ve got” - the bottom line of a new climate change study by two researchers, Gerard H. Roe and Marcia B. Bake.
Briefly Noted: H2 Economy Impact on Water Supplies Hydrogen supporters generally assume that water supplies for a future hydrogen economy are virtually limitless, in part because of the belief that hydrogen will recycle through the environment, returning time and again as rain, for example. But a new study says producing hydrogen electrolytically from water may in fact have a large impact on water resources.
Briefly Noted: European Commission Proposals The European Commission last month adopted two proposals to promote the development of clean and safe hydrogen vehicles, but the move has not met with universal approval.
Briefly Noted: Ottawa Hydrogen Station Presided over by Canada’s environment minister John Baird, Ottawa opened its first hydrogen fueling station last month as part of the Canada’s “Hydrogen on the Hill” project led by Industry Canada and Ford of Canada.
Briefly Noted: New CaFCP Member The National Fuel Cell Research Center (NFCRC) at the University of California, Irvine is the 32nd organization to join the California Fuel Cell Partnership.
