Hydrogen Economy in our Future?

As gas prices soar exponentially as the climate gets warmer, more people are looking at alternative fuels sources. March brings us the preeminent expert on the hydrogen economy as well as other advance vehicle options.

 Joshua Cunningham is program manager of the Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways (STEPS) Program at the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS-Davis), a leading contributor to industry, government and public understanding on the comparison of alternative fuel pathways.

  The STEPS program is a major collaboration between ITS-Davis, state, national and international government agencies, and international energy and automotive companies. Our audience last season asked for information on hydrogen and cars of the future and we are delivering the best the region has to offer! Do not miss it!
