The most important topic in the Danish general election 2005 is how the threats of globalization can be changed to employment and industry.
Most Danish politicians have stated promises of large amounts of money for research and development (R/D).
The positive comment from H2 Logic to this great focus on R/D, is that it is not the size of the amounts that are important, but how the money is spend.
H2 Logic encourages the politicians firstly to state visions for different technology- and market areas and then when the vision is clear the tools and the plan to reach it can be made. R/D is not enough, demonstration projects and early market stimulation is also important.
The success of the Danish Wind Power Industry happened because a clear vision was created first, and next the market was stimulated.
Hydrogen and fuel cells hold an even greater potential for industrial success than that of the Wind Power Industry.
But this potential can only be harvested if Danish politicians set up visions for it and have the courage to make a connection between energy policy and industry policy.
To get visions for the future hydrogen society on the general election agenda, H2 Logic has had a news item in the news on Danish National TV.
