A Hydrogen Economy

In a Hydrogen Economy (vs. a Petroleum Economy), Hydrogen is used to power everything, rather than Petroleum. (I should say Hydrogen along with Solar, Geothermal, Wind, Biodiesel, and other non-polluting fuels.) In a Hydrogen Economy, the Federal Government would give subsidies to non-polluting technologies at the same rate as they do for polluting technologies. Leveling the playing field in this manner would make non-polluting technologies cheaper than their polluting counterparts. This would also make us independent of foreign oil. Some have written that a Hydrogen Economy would also greatly reduce poverty.
