The poster is wrong about both power and the cars (typical for Shell). As most of us know, power generation is going to NG at a dramatic pace, completely changing the NG supply demand picture in the process. It's going FROM COAL, not oil, so the argument of the poster is wrong. Anyone burning oil for power generation would be losing their shirt. MAYBE the poster means overseas, but the US is the #1 consumer Fuel cell cars will need a major distribution network in order to be accepted by society. The first commercial generation of fuel cell cars will almost certainly run on gasoline. This type of fuel cell is available now (I read about it last summer). It's great because there are virtually no emissions. Of course elimination of the sulpher from gasoline will allow the automakers to accomplish virtually the same thing with current technology. The sulpher will almost certainly have to be removed either way. Would YOU buy an expensive new car not knowing if you could refuel it on vacation? Not me! Shell has made a lot of assinine statements in the past year but this is by far the dumbest.
