Steve, I've been neglecting any attempt to stay abreast of any new fuel cell developments. The fuel cell itself, is a viable piece of equipment, but I have not heard of any recent breakthroughs for reformers. Have you heard anything beyond the usual theory's? The methanol reformer would still be the best prospect to bring this system into our daily life. Not only for the ease of infrastructure, also ethanol could be used as a good hydrogen carrier, it would be the same as methanol for disbursement. This would ease the dependence on fossil fuels in areas where petroleum products are hard to obtain and farm income needs to increase. Carbon filiments also cannot be ignored. There is a great future for fuel cell development ahead of us, but the hydrogen carrier problem needs to be solved first. Your thoughts, or anyone else that has an opinion. Jim
