Energy and transportation are $5 trillion markets.  Antimatter means energy independence. Antimatter will replace fossil power plants and produce hydrogen from water.

The United States generated 3,800 billion kilowatt hours of electricity or 26 percent of the world's electricity by the following energy sources (U.S. Department of Energy Report).

61.4 kilograms of antimatter could be used rather than burning 900 million metric tons coal, 173 million barrels oil, and 6.3 trillion cubic feet natural gas and creating 2.8 billion metric tons of waste to generate 2.7 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity. The mass ratio is 20 billion to one.

Hydrogen Economy will replace oil and natural gas for making products, heating people's homes & businesses, and running their vehicles.

On March 11, 2003, the Japanese officially announced  the opening of a joint facility for fuel cell vehicles in Tokyo. The Mercedes-Benz "F-Cell" A-Class is pictured on the right.  Tokyo has five hydrogen filling stations.  DaimlerChrysler has five automotive manufactures and supply companies from the energy supply sector working on fuel cell vehicles along with the necessary fuel infrastructure. 
About 97 kilograms of antimatter could produce electricity for the hydrogen economy rather than burning billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas (16,515 TBtus).       

The conversion to antimatter and the recovery of earth’s environment will take decades.  As antimatter energy will become economical, coal, oil, and natural gas will be used to make products to bring every country into the 21st century.
