Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 50Q
If all of today’s technology presently based on fossil fuel combustion were replaced by hydrogen fuel cells, significantly more H2O would be released into the environment. Is this of concern? Research other consequences that might be anticipated from switching to an economy powered by hydrogen, a so-called hydrogen economy.
