[pf] Hydrogen. Item for fourth week June environmental news report.

· I'm starting on last week's environmental news report; (I'll do the rest
after I've walked 3 3/4 hours to Takapuna and back to give blood). I'm
including the following item.

· It is quite possible to run a transport system without _any_ carbon
dioxide production - at energy source (electricity generator) or in fuel
transmission or in use - as this wind-powered hydrogen demonstration system
should show.
  It's crazy for the USA to be held back by Bush's "energy plan"!  D.

      Statkraft, Sydkraft, ABB to build hydrogen plant
------------------------------------------------------------------
  
NORWAY: June 27, 2001

OSLO - Norway's state utility Statkraft, Swedish power firm Sydkraft and
Swiss-Swedish industrial group ABB have teamed up to build an emission-free
plant for production and distribution of hydrogen by 2002. 

The demonstration plant, which will be situated in Norway, is to be powered
by wind turbines, Statkraft said in a statement.
"It is only a matter of time before hydrogen as an energy source will be a
competitive alternative to fossil fuels and batteries," Statkraft's
technology director Jon Brandsar said in the statement.

Brandsar said the hydrogen plant is part of a large-scale project aimed to
develop the expertise and technology needed to make hydrogen a commercially
viable power source.
