Aiken, SC -- A home powered by hydrogen? Sound far-fetched? It could be here quicker than you think. WJBF News Channel 6's Joy Howe explains.
Plans for a home that extracts the hydrogen from water and uses it for power were unveiled in Aiken, Thursday.
The home will be built at "The Ridge At Chukker Creek", in Aiken. That development already has what are called "zero energy" homes. The newest addition of the hydrogen home makes this the greenest subdivision in America.
Dr. Scott Greenway, Greenway Energy: "Your bill at the end of the year, I think will be close to zero, and in fact, you may, by storing some of your energy when you don't need it, you might be selling some of your energy back to the electric company, making a little bit of money off of this."
How much for a home that runs on hydrogen? It could be an extra $50,000 tacked on to the home's value. The group expects to break ground in the next few months.
