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).

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.
