FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







RESOLUTION #21:  FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY

Despite the passage of the new Clean Air Act in 1990 to reduce acid rain, urban smog, ozone depletion, and emissions of toxic gases and vehicle exhausts, studies ten years later show that California, among other states, is losing the battle against dirty air.
While the energy crisis has prompted regulators to allow production of electricity by marginally polluting plants, the bulk of air pollution comes from tailpipes of internal combustion engines.  With increasing population in an active economy, pollution from internal combustion engines is compounded by the greater number of such engines and their increasing size.
Today's growing air pollution problem poses health threats to people, domestic animals, wildlife, forests and other plant life, as well as to our enjoyment of the beauty of our environment.  It is, in addition, both an economic expense and a visual impediment.
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs strongly supports funding for immediate research and development of fuel cell technology in order to alleviate growing air pollution problems and global warming.
