Before the Fuel Cells, the world depended on gasoline, an adequate source of power, but a difficult substance to synthesize. Unlike gasoline, the Fuel Cell ran on a hydrogen/nitrogen fuel created from soybean and solar power. When combined with oxygen and the Fuel Cell catalyst, this nitrogen fuel resulted in electrical discharge and water. Cleaner than gas and powered by soy and the sun, the Fuel Cell gave mankind a reprieve from pollution.
