Good post, Sid. I have a question though. Why would someone buy a stationary fuel cell plant now, that will last 25 years or even 50 years (which is more likely) when it will likely be obsolete in 3 or 4 years. Will the savings in the first few years be so great that a better design wouldn't catch it in just a few more years?
With technology moving so fast, improvements come so soon, it seems that manufacturers will want to see these plants obsoleted every 4 or 5 years.
Kind of like the computer business.
