Almost five decades ago, Stan and Iris Ovshinsky proposed a radical idea, the hydrogen loop, to fully utilize the benefits of hydrogen, the universe's ultimate energy source. What started as this couple's inspiring commitment to make the world a better place is now realized in the products and technologies offered by the company they founded - Energy Conversion Devices. Stan Ovshinsky is likely to be known as the "Father of the Hydrogen Economy." This is his story. The implementation of this totally clean and renewable system (the hydrogen economy) now falls to us. Will you make your roof a photovoltaic one? Have you bought a hybrid electric automobile? Will you be an early adopter of hydrogen burning internal combustion cars or fuel cell powered ones? Will you now invest in alternative energy stocks? Will you vote for politicians who promote incentives for the adoption of alternative energy technologies? Will you use hydrogen now? Hydrogen can replace anything that burns and can give us a cleaner, safer world. Remember, if you are not part of the solution then you are the problem.
