1. Greetings and Introductions: Chapter Vice President, Clyde Stanley, greets all attendees and asks each attendee to state their name and a short synopsis of their background and what they hope to learn by attending the meeting. 10 minutes.

2. Government Support for Hydrogen: Will hurricane Katrina and its $100 billion recovery cost and the damage of other storms divert funds from hydrogen? Will Local and State and Federal governments use this opportunity to ensure that there is a solar hydrogen component built into every rebuilt building or will they be so short sighted as to rebuild on the premise for powering all those buildings with natural gas, which is hitting a depletion wall by 2007?

3. Business Deals: Ballard stock up forty percent in a week as gasoline and natural gas and industrial hydrogen prices spike due to the disruptions of hurricane Katrina and a 20 unit fuel cell deal with GENERAL HYDROGEN. HOKU Scientific reports a quarterly profit. Business deals are evolving from single demonstration prototypes to prototype production runs!

4. The Tipping Point Revisited: The tipping point may be a lot closer than we understand. GENERAL MOTORS fuel cell development staff is being kept intact while GM lays off 25,000 workers, consolidates sales departments of it old style vehicles and plans to close several plants while it copes with billion dollar quarterly losses and rapidly shrinking market share.

5. International: Danish researchers come up with a way to store sufficient hydrogen for 600 km in a normal sized fuel tank in an inert material pellet. The pellets can be recharged and easily discharged at low temperature making them very safe to use.
