FLORIDA -- The idea of hydrogen fueling stations has been around for years but one Florida businessman is trying to change the landscape.

“We'll spend billions on gasoline this week, and most of it will go to foreign economies”, says Tom Sullivan, Hydrogen Entrepreneur. "I did have a chance to meet the President and talk about hydrogen." 

The wealthy businessman is building not just a string of hydrogen fueling stations, but unlike others, they'll actually manufacture hydrogen on site using only water and solar power.  Within a couple of years, you'll be able to drive from Maine to Florida only with sun and water.

In the Gulf of Mexico, there is one giant billboard for switching our economy to one based on hydrogen says Sullivan. "It's not going to happen overnight, but in the 10-20 years, it'll take to clean up the gulf, we could make gasoline obsolete." 

Hydrogen cars may remain a novelty until hydrogen fueling stations are everywhere.  So, Sullivan's companies are working on what hydrogen experts say is the real answer: decentralizing the hydrogen industry.  Making the hydrogen on site at fuel stations and selling hydrogen manufacturing units for the home, again using only water and sun.
