Roger Billings in Popular Mechanics - 1978

It is neat to see how many magazines are now making their past issues available online through Google.  Popular Mechanics is yet another that makes it oh so easy to look up cool articles about Roger Billings and his hydrogen projects through the years.

In May 1978, Popular Mechanics ran a story about the hydrogen home that Roger Billings designed and lived in.  According to the story, on page 58 of the issue:

"… the “Hydrogen Homestead” is America’s first house to use hydrogen for heating, cooling and cooking…

The house is occupied by the Roger Billings family.  He is chairman of the Billings Energy Corp., a leader in hydrogen applications research and builder of the home."

Roger Billings is quoted in the article as saying:

"What better way is there to demonstrate that hydrogen is safe than by living in the home?"

I must agree -- quite a vote of confidence.  Check out the link for the full article and some photos.
