This book tells how one man's idealism changed the world. Ballard Power Systems, a tiny Canadian company led by a stubborn scientist, took an exotic space age invention, drastically improved it and successfully marketed it to the biggest car companies in the world.
Advance Praise for Powering the Future "One day in the future and sooner than you may think! fuel-cell power will be commonplace and people will wonder how it all came to be. Koppel's book describes the important role Ballard Power Systems is playing in this revolutionary technology." Dennis Simanaitis, Engineering Editor, Road & Track magazine "The Ballard fuel cell is a powerful example of a Canadian enterprise that could transform the world of energy and help save the environment. It's a story that needs to be told." David Crane, Economics Editor, The Toronto Star "The Ballard fuel cell holds great promise as an energy source for the ecological millennium. It's a fascinating and inspiring story." Dr. David Suzuki, Biologist, Author, and Host
