Article on the future of energy

["Jacobus, John (OD)" <JJacobus@ors.od.nih.gov>]

In the Feb 2000 issue of "Physics Today" on the future fuels, the author, Jesse
H. Ausubel foresees the eventual use of hydrogen as a fuel.  As for the source
of the hydrogen, he states:  "Among the alternatives, including solar and
photovoltaic routes, nuclear energy fits the context best" as the "source for
the electricity for electrolysis and high-temperature heat for water splitting.
