The US Department of Energy (DoE) has just announced a pot of money for hydrogen car development. According to the release there will be, “10 cost-shared hydrogen storage research and development projects, which will receive up to $15.3m over five years (see below), subject to annual appropriations.” Which isn’

God bless the military. They’re clearly bang up for some hot renewables action, after some military bigwig touting his latest plan to put up some hydrogen fuelling stations for all the fuel cell cars out there. Yes, General Motors and new best friend Clean Energy Fuels are opening up

And if Arnie’s hydrogen handouts weren’t enough to delight the very (fuel) cells of your being, the UK now getting its own hydrogen fuelling station. Hurrah! If you want to check it out though, you’re going to wend your way to Birmingham, where Brum academics are planning

With Arnie at the helm of California’s hydrogen highway, Greenbang thought it was time to look into this political history. She did, and she found this quote from the man himself at a Republican convention: “To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say, Don’t

What do oil, Chelsea football club and fuel cell technology have in common? Yes, they were all part of that sentence Greenbang wrote just now. Yes, they all contain the letter o and l and yes, they’re quite popular among Russian oligarchs. At least, they are these days. According

So, we’re all like: “yeah, I’m all about plug-in hybrids, you know? It’s so cool, emission-free and that. Saving the plant one car journey at a time, right?” and that’s good and everyone’s happy and we’re all cruising about about in our hybrids and
