American Hydrogen Association

About This Association

Most of us have figured out that petroleum is not going to last forever and that burning it is getting expensive and the pollution damages our health and environment. Some solutions offered are "Drill, Baby, Drill", nuclear reactors, fracking, 'clean' coal, and electric cars, which recharge by burning fossil fuels. Solar, wind and ocean wave or tidal power are clean and renewable, but are intermittent and are nowhere near meeting even today's demand, let alone the needs of 9 billion people in 2050. The AHA contends that hydrogen is a common sense answer to many of our problems. Hydrogen can be made cheaply from sunshine and water, it safely stores energy and transports it in pipelines, burning it only produces more water and fuel cells can produce electricity for your home, factory or a hospital in spite of blizzards and hurricanes. So why isn't every one talking about hydrogen? Whenever hydrogen is mentioned, the Hindenburg comes to mind, although it's unlikely hydrogen had anything to do with the fire or any fatalities. We can hardly expect oil companies and utilities to promote a competing fuel. The AHA educates citizens through this website, a newsletter, chapter meetings, event exhibits, library book donations, classes, and videos. We already have much of the technology we need. We need to start putting millions of people to work building the Hydrogen Age. Come along with us for the ride. It's going to be great.
