News Advisory:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will continue its effort to educate state and local government officials about the vision of a hydrogen economy with a workshop in Annapolis, Maryland, on Wednesday, September 8. The event has been planned in partnership with the Maryland Energy Administration and will feature a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle ride and drive.
This event is the fifth on a six-city tour, in which DOE is offering "Hydrogen 101" to state and local officials who do not have a technical background but are interested in learning more about hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, hydrogen safety and the challenges to achieving the hydrogen vision.
President Bush has called on DOE to pursue the promise of hydrogen to reduce America's dependence on foreign sources of energy, as outlined in the National Energy Plan. The hydrogen workshop series is a cornerstone of DOE's public education strategy for hydrogen.

WHAT: A hydrogen technology education workshop
WHEN: Wednesday, Sept. 8, 8:30 a.m. - 2:15 p.m.; ride and drive begins at 2:15 p.m.
