WHAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY COMMUNITIES ARE SAYING ABOUT THE HYDROGEN AGE "This book by Geoffrey Holland and James Provenzano offers a compelling and comprehensive view of the issues related to the monumental energy transition that is now underway. It was written for the layperson who wants to be informed. It could not have come at a better time." From the foreword by Terry TamminenDirector of the Climate Program, New America Foundation Former Secretary of CalEPA, 2003-2006 "I can confidently say that with The Hydrogen Age, Geoff Holland and James Provenzano have given the layperson historical, technical, environmental, and social context to the necessary quest of realizing a truly pollution-free energy economy. This book provides a most valuable resource for the public to get up to speed on where we have been and where we are headed in supplying the world's much needed energy currencies." Alan C. Lloyd, Ph.D.President, International Council on Clean TransportationChairman, U.S. DOE's Hydrogen & Fuel Cells Technical Advisor Committee "Holland and Provenzano have written the definitive text on civilization's passage from a carbon to hydrogen era. The Hydrogen Agewill fundamentally change our culture and economic system and augurs a transformed relationship between technology and the environment. Along with peak oil, we face peak soil, and to find our way forward we will have to look to water as our source of fuel, not further depletion of Iowa farmlands. The Hydrogen Ageprovides a clear roadmap to carbon drawdown, an enduring civilization, and renewed hope. It is a brilliant and much needed achievement."
