Today's speakers demonstrated how global the hydrogen movement is today.

Each year, we thrive on the energy brought to the Association through the leadership of our Board of Directors. This year, we are happy to welcome new directors from a variety of sectors which represent the diversity and growth potential of the hydrogen industry.

It is crucial to understand that the increased use of hydrogen will support the growth of other clean energy technologies. They are both compatible and essential. With this budget request and the passage of the Energy Policy Act this past summer, we are very happy to see continuing support for hydrogen development from both the Administration and Congress.

We came out today with the goal of playing as hard as we possibly could. I believe that we did that, but we just couldn't make shots. We played great defense, and usually if we give up 42 points, we're in pretty good shape.

We just couldn't get it done at the plate today.

We're very, very pleased to have been selected - one of the very few grants announced today.
