Driving it was interesting, I have rarely driven an SUV so I was more preoccupied by the feel of the car than the characteristics of the engine. However I asked if I could put the pedal to the metal and was impressed by the push back into the seat and watching the Kilowatt gauge go through the roof as I burned through the hydrogen.

"where is the infrastructure?" Dick said that hydrogen was being vented off from different industries all over America and could be collected. He talked of wind and solar and off-peak peak power that could be used to make it. He pointed out that the wind turbine ten minutes away from the test drive was producing hydrogen in a demonstration project. He said they were testing all kinds of technologies, and essentially agreed that the future was electric and we had to look at all ways to store that energy, whether it was batteries or hydrogen.

Before Mike and Matt came along with their more sophisticated understanding of these issue
Before Mike and Matt came along with their more sophisticated understanding of these issues, I spent four years dissing the idea of hydrogen cars or the long-term sustainability of any kind of private vehicle when they need a petroleum powered infrastructure. Nevertheless when I was invited to drive a GM hydrogen fuelled, fuel cell powered electric SUV I couldn't pass it up, and engineer Dick Cauling's boyish enthusiasm for the subject was overwhelming.

"Scarcity is not a result of us not having enough, it is because of the way we use it." So
"Scarcity is not a result of us not having enough, it is because of the way we use it." So says Martin Liefhebber, who was doing green architecture before there was a name for it; 12 years ago he designed Toronto's Healthy House that remains cutting edge; we have also covered his Wilson House. He was at the 2008 Heritage Conservation conference decrying the loss of a midcentury modern hospital in Toronto, calculating its embodied energy and the cost of the demolition of not just a perfectly good building, but actually a quite remarkable bit of design with a lot of interesting features, that took 13,576 megawatts of power to build, and will generate 40,000 yards of concrete waste, and will be torn down because of a complete failure of vison and comprehension of the value of what they have.

Donald Rypkema is a powerful and passionate speaker who had the crowd at the 2008 Heritage Conservation conference on their feet. The President of PlaceEconomics, a Washington D.C. based consulting firm specializing in the economic revitalization of city centers and the development of historic properties, is also deliberately provocative, challenging a wide range of sacred cows in the green design world.

The green roof, a demonstration project dating back to 2004, was an absolute joke considering the scale of what has been built since, but also on the roof was Canada's largest photovoltaic installation, where the CNE is testing different manufacturers, angles and methods of installation for a much larger 2 million kilowatt plan.
