"They produce water vapor and clean water -- nothing else. It's totally zero emission," Prokopius said. The station would be built at the Great Lakes Science Center, located in downtown Cleveland on the shore of Lake Erie. The center already has a windmill and solar energy grid that is used for educational purposes and to produce electricity for the museum. Water for the hydrogen fuel would come straight out of Lake Erie. "The idea is that you'd stimulate jobs for the community by folks learning how to build these devices, how to operate them and also what you could use hydrogen for," said Valerie Lyons, a program manger at NASA Glenn. "Maybe people would make forklifts and other small vehicles that run off hydrogen, or convert gasoline-powered cars. "There's a lot of things that could simulate the economy with different types of jobs spinning off from the hydrogen economy."
