Obama’s dream is: millions of alternative powered vehicles
Though the facts still don't prove, it can be suspected from the hint: the president of America „deals" with hydrogen, as far as it relates to the prospective subsidy of fuel cell vehicles.
According to the information coming from the President's Office in the future the subsidy of the fuel cell technology may increase significantly. The Bloomberg Businessweek announcing the news remembers, as long as the Ministry of Energy grossly cuts the research costs related to the hydrogen vehicles, the latest statement of the executive officer of the organization refers to the increasing subsidy of the relating developments at all.
Scott Samuelsen, the director of the National Fuel Cell Research Center, spoke about a definite Paul's conversion relating to this concerning to the last months. Barack Obama would like to see rightly millions of alternative powered vehicles on the roads till 2015.
The comment doesn't touch upon that it's already about a decision spanning over periods, as there's no guarantee for that also in the named year the same president will preside as in 2012. However it's a dream banishing fact that according to the plans, which are still valid this summer, there're only 80 million Dollars earmarked for the necessary researches for 2013, contrary to this year's 103.6 millions budget. Naturally the plan can be modified with only one stroke of the pen.
To still realize the dream, for this not only research, but also infrastuctural investments will be plenty needed. In accordance with the actualities there fall to the 10000 electric charging stations and appr. 1000, also CNG loadable petrol stations of the USA less than 60 such stations, where the fuel cell vehicles can be refuelled, so where we can filled up with hydrogen.
It will hardly depend on the car factories: the GM, the Toyota, the Daimler and the Hyundai equally declared that they will start up with the mass production of their fuel cell modells from 2015.
