Truckers Choose Hydrogen Power

Wired Online is running an article on the use of an aftermarket bolt-on, called Hydrogen Fuel Injection, that allows trucks to improve fuel efficiency, increase power, and lower emissions, all the while, saving on fuel bills. The technology comes from Canadian Hydrogen Energy Co. Ltd., and has been applied to diesel burning trucks. Basically, hydrogen is obtained from water via electrolysis, with the hydrogen pumped directly into the trucks combustion engine. Remarkably, the addition of a little hydrogen has big rewards.

In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
