century's most important decision

Public responses to decisions taken on these matters are too late after the decision is taken. The following may be THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION of the next century in North America. Remember that GM controls 67 per cent of the automotive market. Coupled with REGENERATIVE fuel cells and distributed electrical production, our electrical infrastructure could ultimately replace plans for piped hydrogen and propel us into a Hydrogen economy very rapidly. The link attached to this post is broken. I have put in a request to Valri Lightner for more information about this problem and the upcoming meeting. I will post as soon her reply is made.

1. DOE Announces Date for Decision Regarding On-Board Fuel Processing

The U.S. Department of Energy has announced June 30, 2004, as the planned date for its go/no-go decision regarding on-board fuel processing for fuel cell vehicles. A panel has been assembled by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to review the current state of fuel processing activities against technical criteria. Based on the findings of the panel, NREL will submit a written recommendation to DOE on or before June 18, 2004. Written position papers for consideration by DOE regarding this decision must be received by May 15, 2004. NREL must receive requests to speak before the review panel no later than May 15, 2004. For further information, contact Valri Lightner, DOE, Ph. 202-586-0937, or valri.lightner@ee.doe.gov.
