Hydrogen Hopes
Description
Hydrogen may be the fuel of the future, but what would it take to safely and efficiently make the transition from fossil fuels? In this program from the Scientific American Frontiers series, host Alan Alda takes a look at two ways to use the Sun's energy to extract hydrogen; meets with Stan and Iris Ovshinsky, inventors of a hydrogen storage method involving a solid metal alloy; and makes a visit to Iceland, the country farthest along in abandoning oil for hydrogen, thanks to its vast reserves of geothermal energy.
