| Abstract | The purposes of this paper are (1) to examine the realities of fuel cell development to determine the economic potential of fuel cell applications to transportation and (2) to identify the major challenges as well as the public policies that could lead to the automobile becoming a mobile electric power source that is used to power homes and industry. Several technical and cost issues were identified to have the potential to pose development challenges; however, none are likely to be show-stoppers. If the fuel cell powered vehicle can offer the consumer additional uses for the automobile, e.g., a source of electric power for businesses or it can permit a rapid style change in the automobile by easily replacing the passenger compartment at costs the consumer finds acceptable, the consumer will be willing to spend more on the fuel cell powered vehicle than it spends on combustion engine powered vehicles. If the fuel cell stimulates design changes that makes major contributions to the safety of automobiles and results in substantial reductions in the cost of insurance, that will also promote consumer interest. Of equal importance to these technical issues are public policies that could promote fuel cell power use in automobiles. For example, a desire to reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil or rapid growth in oil prices could lead to pubic policies that would accelerate the adoption of fuel cells in automobiles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
