Imagine a world where the poisonous black ooze of oil
no longer fouls the seas, the feathers of birds,
the lakes, the streams and the waters,
gasoline fumes no longer choke the air
as the cacophony of clanking engines no longer deafens the ears,
the black soot of dinosaur age coal
no longer darkens the skies for thousands of miles
and the invisible death of global warming
from fossil fuels
no longer ravages the earth
from the magnificent glaciers of both poles
to the unspeakably bright artistic colors of tropical coral reefs.

Imagine a world where the clean primeval substance
that makes up the substance of most of the whole visible universe
is quietly, peacefully
generated by the gentle sun,
the undulating waves
and the symphonic winds
to power any imaginable level of human civilization,
sustainably,
in a just global economy for all,
without ugly, noxious pollutants,
respecting our planet
and all living things
while protecting them.

This bold vision begins
when we
simply
give it a name
to fire our
consciousness
and that is why we call
the entire
twenty-first century

The Hydrogen Century.

Hydrogen.
The unknown fuel.
The hidden fuel.
Invisible.
It is everywhere
And it's nowhere.
It fills the space between the stars.
It's in the water we drink,
The coffee
And no one knows it.
No one sees it.
But we will
In the coming Third Millennium
When it runs
Our entire Planet.
Hydrogen.
It's the stake in the heart
Of the dark viscous vampire
Coming out of the Persian Gulf,
Causing war,
Sucking our economy
And destroying our environment
With its black slime.
Hydrogen.
The real mystery
Is when we will see Reality,
Embrace the technology
And accept the future
That is coming.
