From the back cover:

How to end our dependency on imported oil and clean up the air with the most plentiful element in the universe.

Fuel From Water candidly discusses both the benefits and problems of using hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen is not as convenient to use as fossil fuels, but it is the only fuel that has no significant environmental effect, regardless of the amount used. Burning hydrogen produces mostly water vapour.

The book shows persuasively that hydrogen obtained from renewable sources of energy could free us from the shackles of imported energy.

Over 150 tables and illustrations, scores of studies, and the testimony of expert researches contribute to the conclusion that our energy future lies with this limitless fuel from water.
