In what environmentalists are calling a precedent-setting case that closes a perceived loophole in the Clean Air Act, a federal judge has ordered utility Duke Energy to conduct a formal assessment of its under-construction Cliffside Stream coal-fired power plant to make sure it will be using the best-available technology to curb its mercury emissions.

Based on existing hydrogen and fuel cell technology the building of H2PIA can actually begin in year 2007, and thereby become an early stepping stone towards the future hydrogen economy.
H2PIA - a city based on freedom, clean energy, creativity and innovation
H2PIA is a vision for a complete city, where citizens will produce the energy they need for
themselves. H2PIA will show how we can develop from a society that produces energy by
burning oil, coal and gas, to a hydrogen-based, independent, and pollution-free community.
H2PIA is based upon three values:
* Freedom
Because the citizens of H2PIA are independent of oil. They produce and store their own
fuel in the form of hydrogen, that can deliver energy to both their homes and their cars.
* Clean energy
Because hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources: sun and wind. And the
only exhaust product left over when it is used is pure water.
* Creativity and innovation
Because the creation of H2PIA demands a close cooperation between the private and
the public sector - between businesses, universities and policy makers.
Experimentation, knowledge, experience, and results must be turned into real-life
products to create a well-functioning and sustainable community where the noisy and
polluting combustion engine is replace by the clean and silent hydrogen fuel cell.
