EVWorld.Com -- published in Omaha, Nebraska -- is recognized as one of the top destinnation web sites for information on the development and commercialization of advanced transportation technologies from electric bicycles to hybrid cars to fuel cell transit buses. Launched in 1998, the web-based publication serves, on average, more than 85,000 visitors a week, who regularly download one million pages of information a month.

"Ever since the Bush Administration proposed in the 2003 State of the Union address funding fuel cell and hydrogen research, there's been enormous attention focused on the 'hydrogen economy,'" says Bill Moore, the publisher and editor of EV World. "Hydrogen is seen as the ultimate renewable, clean fuel of the 21st century. It can be made from a number of diverse sources, both fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable; and when used in fuel cells, its only emission is water vapor. It is seen as the perfect fuel because it is inexhaustible and can be made locally; dramatically reducing the need for oil imports, thus solving a major national security issue, while eliminating automotive air pollution.

"The problem is, taking the hydrogen path may, in fact, be exactly the wrong way to go," Moore contends. "As elegant a solution as hydrogen may appear, it isn't as simple a decision as hydrogen advocates would have us believe."

EV World has become one of the leading international forums for the hydrogen debate, publishing technical papers and interviews with leading experts on this vitally important international question. Most recently, Moore interviewed Dennis Campbell, the president of Ballard Power Systems of Vancouver, Canada, the world's leading fuel cell manufacturer, and the supplier of fuel cell stacks and technology to DaimlerChrysler, Ford, Honda and other major OEMs.

"Over the last couple years, I've had the opportunity to test drive virtually every fuel cell car currently in development by Ford, GM, DaimlerChrysler, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota. They are marvelous works of technology. They are quiet and pollution free, but they cost over a million dollars a piece. When I sit down to lunch with fuel cell engineers and ask them how soon this technology will be commercially viable, they confide to me it will be twenty years, at the earliest. This tells me that hydrogen and fuel cells are long-term technologies," Moore states. "At the same time, there's a growing consensus that very soon the demand for oil is going to outpace supply, leading to ever-higher prices and inevitable shortages. How we bridge the gap between the end of cheap, abundant oil and the widespread use of hydrogen is what EV World is all about."

The website is updated daily with new feature stories and interviews published weekly. The site now archives more than 5,000 news stories and hundreds of interviews in both text and streaming audio. It is ranked by Alexa.Com as the Internet's most popular website for sustainable energy and mobility technologies. In the past, the site has featured interviews with General Wesley Clark; Robert Stempel, the former Chairman of General Motors; and former CIA chief James Woolsey, as well as actor/environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr. and Time Magazine's "Hero of the Planet," architect and author William McDonough.

Mr. Moore is available for interviews and public presentations.
