Kruger (emeritus, Stanford U.) formed the book from notes for a course introducing freshmen and sophomore students to the potential for understanding the potential of hydrogen as a large-scale energy fuel produced by a mix of renewable and nuclear energy; and encouraging them to become engaged at an early stage in developing the technology, a process he estimates will take 50 years. He analyzes the background of the human quest for abundant energy, the growth in awareness of a world with finite fossil fuel fossil fuel: see energy, sources of; fuel.
fossil fuel

Any of a class of materials of biologic origin occurring within the Earth's crust that can be used as a source of energy. Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
