Air Products has added the 5th hydrogen fuel station in Korea, making Korea - home of Hyundai - only second to the U.S. in total Air Product hydrogen fuel stations. Worldwide, Air Products has now built 70 hydrogen fueling stations in 12 countries, including 20 in the U.S.

Both Democrats and Republicans have done a lot of talking about foreign oil dependency and global warming, yet few have discussed the hydrogen economy. However, can great change to the current energy paradigm be achieved without embracing the hydrogen economy and fuel cell hybrid vehicles, such as the one pictured above (aside from going nuclear)?
