stations across the US, the hydrogen
infrastructure is minuscule. The result is a
chicken-and-egg dilemma: What manufacturers will
market hydrogen-powered cars if hydrogen isn't
available to drivers? What hydrogen producers will

heat to produce steam. The main problem with
nuclear energy, however, is the storage and
disposal of the waste from...
