Del,

I read PLUG's description of the product. Thank you for posting this information. They did a nice job of presenting their concept.

I did not see where you got the information on the amount of oz of platinum needed for the unit. Could you also post a link to the information on the number of oz mined per year. I also wonder how much Platinum that Ballard is going to need for their car fuel cells?

I understand from reading some research that the membrane to make all this happen is still in developmental stages?

I also understood that there is energy lost when these cells are stacked, as plug is doing in this home product?

Keith posted this link on research information on the production, transport, and end use of hydrogen technologies.
This is a survey of 100 publications from the National Renewable Energy Lab. It is a "Survey of Economics of Hydrogen Technologies".

The economics of this system may not be feasible.

Also in this article PLUG has stated that these units will cost around $8,500 in 2001.

Regards,
AnnieO
