Fuel Cells

Paper Summary:

The limited supply of fossil fuels is a fact that has been known for quite some time, and the great increase in the number of automobiles on the road has forced us to realize that the time we have left guzzling gas is very, very limited. This paper shows that prototypes of solar-powered vehicles have made news along with electric cars, but their lack of efficiency will not adequately support our driving needs. The paper argues, therefore, that the most probable alternative to the internal combustion engine is the fuel cell--a simple, clean source of energy that can be used in a variety of applications.

From the Paper:

"Right now most fuel cell developments are directed toward use in automobiles. Gas prices are rising and our wallets are realizing the relative inefficiency of the internal combustion engine. More importantly, people are becoming more aware of the damage being done to the atmosphere by major greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, the main by-product of the internal combustion engine. Despite these factors, there is a bottom line."
