Early oil-crisis era 70s documentary on the "fuel of the future", hydrogen. Includes footage of early hydride and cryogenic liquid storage methods, and discusses methods of production such as electrolysis of water, solar catalysis, and high temperature nuclear plant powered techniques. Also covered are hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen transportation networks, hydrogen powered cars, buses, planes, and an amusing "hydrogen home of the future" prototype. There is also notable mention of suspicions about global warming and the Keeling curve.

    I didn't disagree with your comment about radon and radium, I didn't want to reply under the video in case the guy actually reads the comments. I enjoy old documentaries, checking this out now. 🙋📺
