Help Create a Green Economy!

The U.S. Department of Energy: How to Create a Green Economy from Hybrid Vehicles and Fuel Cells to our Global Nuclear Partnership ! With gas prices on the rise again and the recent Earth Day, Americans are asking an important question…What’s really being done to reduce our dependence on foreign fuels? The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory is working earnestly to move the United States from a petroleum-based economy to a green economy. Laboratory Director, Dr. Robert Rosner can help you understand some of the latest developments. In his warm, conversational style, he discusses: Hybrid vehicles that run on ethanol and gas, as well as battery-run vehicles and the new Smart Car President Bush’s Hydrogen Economy envisions a future in which cars and trucks will run on fuel cells that convert hydrogen gas into electricity and water. In the future, fuel cells will also power cell phones, laptop computers, and electrical and heating systems in the home. Argonne is a leader in fuel-cell research developing a compact reformer that releases the hydrogen found in ordinary gasoline. The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership Progam – launched earlier this year, this program is designed to reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation, enhance U.S. energy independence, assist in the safe disposal of spent nuclear fuel within the country and to mitigate global warming.
