There is a good chance that hydrogen power will have a big future in conserving energy. In Wicasset, Maine a $250,000 demonstration project has been unveiled at the Chewonki Foundation’s environmental education center. The system uses solar panels to produce hydrogen from water through the process of electrolysis. Also, new technology that produces the gas at high pressure allows the system to operate without a costly compressor. Hydrogen energy is much safer for the environment than traditional sources of energy because it reduces the need for fossil fuels which in turn can help ease global warming Although the generator is primarily for educational purposes, Maine’s governor John Baldacci recently signed an executive order to promote the development of hydrogen energy in Maine which he hopes will help influence the rest of the nation to turn to hydrogen as a new source of energy better for the environment.
