2 “Whoever Controls Energy Wins” ™ © Solar Hydrogen Co. 2007 Renewable and Renewable and Sustainable Energy Sustainable Energy By Solar, Wind & Hydro Electro By Solar, Wind & Hydro Electro With No Fossil Fuel Consumption With No Fossil Fuel Consumption

3 Bad News! The Federal Government is pushing Reforming Natural Gas as the source for Electricity And Hydrogen This promotes further dependency to deep well drilling, the pipeline and Oil ! Not a Pollution Solution

4 Good News: Solar Hydrogen Generation A breakthrough technology providing a truly renewable hydrogen fuel source requiring neither fossil fuel nor utility electricity – most of which in California is made from natural gas. On-Site Hydrogen Generation at the business or residence. On-Site Hydrogen Generation at the business or residence. On-Site bring up to car pressure by a device no bigger than an orange crate on wall of the garage. On-Site bring up to car pressure by a device no bigger than an orange crate on wall of the garage.

5 Solution Renewable hydrogen carbon-neutral power source to feed fuel cells, or other non polluting power sources to feed fuel cells, or other non polluting power sources such as Hydrogen fueled Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). such as Hydrogen fueled Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). “Direct Solar Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Generation”

6 HydrideStorage Fuel Cell Solar to Wheel
