Fuel Cell Management Magazine Premieres at 2002 Fuel Cell Seminar; Quarterly Magazine Highlights the Issues Facing the Fuel Cell Industry

    CLEVELAND--Nov. 25, 2002--The inaugural issue of Fuel Cell Management (FCM) is in the hands of 20,000 fuel cell developers, researchers, suppliers, end-users, and other industry experts including attendees of the 2002 Fuel Cell Seminar that took place from November 18 - 21 in Palm Springs, CA. FCM, a quarterly publication produced by the Fuel Cell Publishing Group and Penton Media, Inc's (PME) Custom Media Group, will feature regular profiles of the people and companies leading to the broad commercialization of this promising technology.
    The premiere issue of FCM features a groundbreaking Q&A with United States Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham. FCM's Editorial Director Barbara Schmitz interviewed Secretary Abraham on a number of important legislative issues including what the government's role should be in fostering the commercialization of fuel cell technology. Schmitz has over ten years of experience as an editor at technical trade magazines covering innovations in technology.
    In addition, an in-depth interview with Michigan Governor John Engler provides insight as to how he is preparing the hub of the automotive industry to be a leader in this industry.
    "The timing for FCM couldn't be any better as Secretary Abraham just last week unveiled the road map the Federal Government is taking to prepare the United States for alternative fuel supplies," says David Dalton, publisher of FCM. "There are still many hurdles ahead, some technical, some economic, and some political. Our role as a magazine is to uncover the expert sources in the industry and communicate their message to the companies who use fuel cells and allow them to make more informed decisions."
