While much of the world fumes over escalating fuel prices, a small company in north central Iowa is quietly hoping to make gasoline obsolete as an engine fuel.
Scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs will be able to vie for a grand prize of $10 million, and smaller prizes reaching millions of dollars, under House-passed legislation to encourage research into hydrogen as an alternative fuel.
Don't bet on a hydrogen car anytime soon? Think again. Far from being a tailpipe dream, hydrogen may prove to be our savior from greenhouse gases, air pollution and dependence of foreign oil. Indeed, decades from now George W. Bush may be remembered primarily for his unflinching support for hydrogen.
New survey finds 22 of the earliest galaxiesA new survey has found 22 of the earliest galaxies to form in the universe, confirming the age of one at just 787 million years after the theoretical Big Bang.
Buffett Bets Big on Railroads' FutureDid Warren Buffett just corner the railroad market? Nah. He says he bought Burlington Northern Santa Fe because he likes to play with trains.
Japanese company demos hydrogen-powered electric bikeOne thing is clear: Japan loves electric bikes. And now Tokyo-based Iwatani is presenting a model [JP] that's powered by hydrogen. It isn't exactly the prettiest vehicle out there, but the so-called Hydrogen Bicycle is ecological (it doesn't emit any CO2).

Honda Prefers Hydrogen as U.S. Pushes Battery Autos Definitely a valuable story. The climate change technology race has been years in the making, and yet its just beginning in terms of addressing the scope of the issues.
Hydrogen Technology Steams AheadHydrogen is widely considered to be a potential replacement for fossil fuels, but it is costly to extract. There are also often high levels of greenhouse gases emitted during conventional methods of production.
Turkish students get 568 km from one liter of hydrogen in tiny SAHÃ�°MO car Going 568 kilometers (353 miles) on a liter of hydrogen is nothing to scoff at, but for the students at Sakarya University in northwestern Turkey who built the SAHİMO vehicle, it's simply not good enough.
Feathered fuel tank soaks up hydrogenThe gas tank of the future may be full of chicken feathers. Engineers have discovered a way to store large amounts of hydrogen fuel using carbonized downy fluff, which could help pave the way to clean, green cars.
The ultimate green car - but where do you fill it up?It's silent, it's pollution free, it's nippy, and it'll get you round town for £2,500 a year, fuel and maintenance included. So, is it the car of the future? Maybe.
National Ignition Facility: California Fires up Laser Fusion MachineA tentative first step towards an era of clean, almost limitless energy will take place today with the opening of a giant facility designed to recreate the power of the stars in an oversized warehouse in California.
Better Gas Mileage Using Your Car's Engine To Burn Hydrogen or"Brown's Gas," From WaterI can't believe it, but I saw it with my own Ears. My Uncle's, Cousin's, Nephew's, Brother's, Mother, says that she was able to run her car on water. Here is how she did it!!!
