Space ... the final frontier:

It's time!  -- furthermore   ... the president provided the emancipation proclamation to free ourselves from slavery to oil ... the race to convert to fuel cells is on  ... starting points are here.

and fuel cells are part of the answer ...

Fuel Cell Systems Explained -- by James Larminie, Andrew Dicks  -- The use of fuel cells as independent power sources is expected to become increasingly widespread in the next twenty years. From electric vehicles to mobile phones, the uses for this environmentally friendly and efficient energy source are growing. This book seeks to broaden understanding of the technology by setting out the working methods, behavior, limitations, special features, and potential of fuel cells in terms accessible to electrical, automotive, power, and control engineers. - a reader writes "must read for anyone wanting to get into the fuel cell industry. I am a graduate researcher at a fuel cell lab and after borrowing my copy several of my colleagues have purchased their own. It gives a complete survey of the major fuel cell technologies and additionally covers many of related issue effecting fuel cell commercialization such as fuel storage. " -- another says "It is quite reasonably up to date and highlights for instance Basic Principles; Efficiencies and Voltages; PEMFCs, AFCs, PAFCs; MCFCs; SOFCs; various possible fuel types; compressors, turbines, fans, blowers (etc); delivering FC power, among other topics" a third says "it has up-to-date information on all types of fuel cells including an in depth chapter on Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells that most other books lack"

Powering the Future: The Ballard Fuel Cell and the Race to Change the World -- by Tom Koppel -- reader comments "This is a good book about Ballard Fuel Cell Company. It tells the story about taking the fuel-cell technology for electricity production from an oddity used in space to mass-market commercialization. The process is still going on so the book cannot conclude that Ballard has reached their goal, but the book does a good job explaining how Ballard reached their current state"  -- another ... "accounts of a technical evolution towards the latest Mark 900 Ballard PEM fuel cell engine is great fun. I highly recommend this Book to all.   I only wish that there were similar books too, perhaps from this or from other authors, about Ballard's rivals like the FuelCell Energy MCFC fuel cell, the passive DMFC from DCH Technology and Manhattan Scientifics, the SOFC from Global Thermoelectric, the United Technologies PAFC unit from IFC, and those from Plug Power, Avista Corporation, Anuvu, Astris Energi, and a growing list of others"
