(Jadoo) www.jadoopower.com, the leading supplier of portable fuel cell power systems, announced today that Jadoo Power President and CEO Larry Bawden has been appointed to the recently formed Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee (HTAC). HTAC was formed in accordance with the 2005 Energy Policy Act as a key component of President Bush’s Advanced Energy Initiative.

The success of the Hydrogen Economy will be measured in steps,” said Larry Bawden, President and CEO, Jadoo Power. “We believe one of the first steps is designing, manufacturing and selling usable fuel cells to consumers today; thus demonstrating what will be available on a larger scale in the future.”
