Hydrogen Cars (Text Alternative Version)

This is the text alternative transcript for the U.S. Hydrogen Program radio broadcast titled: Hydrogen Cars. The audio file can be accessed on the DOE Hydrogen Program Media Files page.

Car #1: Hey Joe! Good to see you roll in…

Car #2: Yo Bobby... what's THAT? (a little loud)

Car #1: THAT, my four-wheeled-friend, is the future.

Car #2: The future?

Car #1: Yup. It's a new hydrogen pump.

Car #2: Hy-dro-gen?

Car #1: Well, my driver heard about it on the radio, so I learned a little somethin' about H2, as it's called.

Car #2: ...so...

Car #1: So, hydrogen can be used in fuel cells to power cars like us, homes, and even buildings.

Car #2: Go on…

Car #1: Hydrogen is a clean, safe fuel...It can be made from lots of different things right here in the U.S. — like plants, fossil fuels...even water...

Car #2: I like that part about being made the USA.

Car #1: Yeah, me too, and with hydrogen fuel cells, no more exhaust…the only thing coming out of our tailpipe is water.

Car #2: Wow, that means cleaner air!

Car #1: Yeah! But it'll be a while. They're still workin' it all out …this station is one of the first… in fact…this is one of the few states in the country that has a hydrogen fueling station.

Car #2: Wow, I guess I've just increased my "H2IQ!" (they laugh)

Announcer: Increase your H2IQ by going to hydrogen.energy.gov. This message brought to you by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
