註釋Hydrogen is the energy of the future. This book presents the history of energy, especially of oil and coal and discusses the problems that exist with continuing to use those resources. Hydrogen stands out as the best alternative to traditional polluting fossil fuels for many reasons-it can be produced without pollution, is nontoxic and noncorrosive, and we can never run out of it. It is as safe as or safer than the fuels we currently use and can be made virtually anywhere. "The Hydrogen Age" explains this promising fuel, shows how it can be harnessed to serve virtually all of our energy needs, and reveals why hydrogen is destined to become the clean, safe, renewable fuel of choice for the future. AUTHOR: Geoffrey B. Holland is the Emmy-award winning producer of Renewable Power: Earth's Clean Energy Destiny (1998). He has been writer, producer, and/or directed twelve docu¬mentaries and educational videos, half of which focus on renew¬able energy and hydrogen. Holland has travelled to many parts of the world, documenting civilizations' exploitation and overuse of Earth's resources. In 1995, with William Hoagland, Holland cofounded Hydrogen 2000, Inc., a non profit organization focused on drawing the media's attention to clean, and renewable forms of energy. A graduate of Kansas State University, Holland went on to advanced studies in bio-medical sciences at the University of Washington. He currently lives with his wife, Jennifer, in Oregon. James J. Provenzano is the president of Clean Air Now, Inc., one of the oldest environmental organizations in the country, and is a leading expert in the field of hydrogen and renewable energy. As a manager of Xerox Corporation's environmental programs, he played a key role in developing and managing the early hydrogen-fuel infrastructure in California, contributing to the United States Defense Department's study on the technological feasibility of using renewable hydrogen to fuel vehicles. Provenzano graduated from Boston College and holds a master's degree in cellular physi¬ology from UCLA. He is a resident of Los Angeles.
