tippet, one advantage of fuel cells for the home is they can provide electricity and heat/AC at once. A fuel-cell company in Canada, Global Thermoelectric (t.gle) has partnered with a home heating company (Enbridge - t.enb) to provide combined furnace/generators for the home market. Enbridge is selling furnaces anyway, so why not sell furnaces that also produce electric power? This is also basically what Plug Power is doing, although I don't like their technology as much. I'm not hyping these companies, I'm just pointing out another use for fuel cells. They can be used either as furnaces, or as central AC units, using the waste heat from the fuel cell to drive a heat exchanger.
