Hydrogen Exonerated In Hindenburg Disaster :  PDF-1.5 MB — U02-02, This research paper explores the cost-effectiveness of fuel cells as an electrical generation source to provide domestic, commercial and industrial power. Cleaner Energy, Greener Profits finds that, over the next decade, the once-centralized electric power industry will evolve toward a more competitive and heterogeneous structure. In this new environment, the use of fuel cells will become economical if their proponents can capture their benefits as small, decentralized power sources. Fuel cells and other distributed generation sources require less power distribution infrastructure (wires and transformers) because they can be sited close to where power is used. They are cleaner and quieter than conventional power generation sources, so they can be located near or inside buildings where their output is used. Because fuel cells are modular and flexible in size, they don’t result in overbuilding of capacity as do large power plants. Also, they can provide power with better reliability than conventional systems (2002).

National Hydrogen Association Hydrogen:  PDF-136k  —  E03-07, RMI’s CEO Amory Lovins replies to a Nature article by EPRI’s Paul Grant, who claimed that a hydrogen economy would be impractical (taking too much land, capital, fossil fuel, etc.)…except with nuclear power, whose dismal economics he conveniently ignored (23 August 2003).
New Energy Solutions :  A review of the 1937 Hindenburg accident and the inaccurate blame placed upon hydrogen.
Rebuttal To Tromp Et Al’s Response In Science, Science Magazine :  Today, hydrogen is primarily used as a chemical feedstock in the petrochemical, food, electronics, and metallurgical processing industries, but is rapidly emerging as a major component of clean sustainable energy systems. It is relevant to all the energy sectors—transportation, buildings, utilities, and industry. Hydrogen can provide storage options for intermittent renewable technologies such as solar and wind and, when combined with emerging decarbonization technologies, can reduce the climate impacts of continued fossil fuel utilization.
Royal Military College Of Canada:  The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) page on hydrogen and hydrogen-fueled vehicles.
Schatz Energy Research Center:  PDF-1.3 MB — E03-15, Public interest in hydrogen as a fuel for the future has reached an all-time high. Yet conflicting, confusing, and often ill-informed commentary accompanies the excitement. This PowerPoint presentation explains basic hydrogen facts and fallacies. This presentation was given by Amory Lovins at the Given Institute, Aspen, Colorado (06 August 2003).
The University Of Calgary Hydrogen Program:  PDF-1.5 MB — E00-25, This PowerPoint presentation informed the American Gas Association’s joint marketing/operations conference of how Hypercars’ multiple roles, in transportation and power generation, could profoundly affect fuel markets (09 May 2000).
The University Of Calgary Hydrogen Program:  new link — PDF-64k  —  E04-05, In an unpublished letter to Science, Amory Lovins points out that CalTech researchers overstated by about tenfold the amount of hydrogen that would be needed to run the U.S. economy. This continues a series of technical errors by the same group, including its famous two-order-of-magnitude overestimate of how much hydrogen might leak from a hydrogen-based energy system, ostensibly endangering the ozone layer. See E03-02 (02 February 2004).
