Greg: This is really exciting - now GLE has caught up to where ERC was about a dozen years ago.

Well back in the 1980's ERC was running its carbonate fc's using natural gas as a fuel. Like solid oxide, carbonate runs hot enough that it doesn't need a external reformer to extract the hydrogen.

So GLE has one that is produces 800 watts; well, in 1996, ERC ran a demo in CA of a fc that produced 2,000,000 watts. Its main facility today is being powered by one of its 250,000 watt units.

GLE has a long, long way to go to catch up.
