  1. Epiphany

    Episode 1

    Epiphany

    Nick Abson brought you Queen's We Will Rock You and Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights. Then in 1990, everything changed. Burnt out, broke, and at his lowest point, lying in the snow in a French forest contemplating never getting up, Nick walked back to his farmhouse with nothing but a desperate idea and a woodland full of trees to sell. What followed was a 35 year obsession that would put him in the crosshairs of oil companies, government departments, and forces he never saw coming. In this first episode, Nick recounts the moment he discovered hydrogen fuel cell technology, a clean, limitless power source that predates oil and gas, worked in space, and was quietly buried on Earth. He speaks candidly about the TV show that started it all, the oil executive who told him gasoline had 25 years left, and why the man who could have changed the world is still working alone in a barn in rural France. The true story of limitless clean power, and why we still don’t have it.

    Episode 2

    Catalysis

    Nick Abson had never built a car. He had no fuel cell. He had no company. So naturally, he stood up in front of 3,000 people at an international conference and told the entire fuel cell industry that he would beat Mercedes-Benz to it. What started as outrage at watching a decent man get pushed off a stage turned into one of the most unlikely promises ever made in the history of clean energy. And somehow, against every conceivable odd, he would almost keep it. In this episode, Nick recounts the moment he lost his temper in Long Beach and accidentally started a revolution. He explains why the hydrogen fuel cell industry was already being quietly controlled before it had even taken off, the sandwich shop explanation that changed his daughter's mind, and the phone call from a Brooklyn acquaintance that led to the birth of Zevco, his zero emissions vehicle company, in a hotel phone booth. The true story of limitless clean power, and why we still don’t have it.
