tippet, I would agree that generating hydrogen to feed FC is a poor choice of energy utilization, but I would like to differ on other local solutions that can generate energy or save it. 1, Biomass - power generators properly designed could be cost effective if taking into account waste disposal and resulting compost which can be recycled 2. Solar energy if for heating water or alternate electricity for home use ( solar panels can absorb around 1KW per 10 sq feet in certain areas and used for heating water) 3. Heath exchangers if from the sun or underground water is also cost effective if properly installed. Would not like to throw around meaningless numbers but if each household could save around 1 to 2 KW of power it uses (during sunshine) it would have an impact. (10 to 20KWH per day saved at 15 cents per KWH or $1.50 a day ... just adds up). My mother is using solar panels for heating water and it saves her around $50 per month having round the clock hot water, except several weeks in winter. Would agree that the solar solution would not be cost effective in Detroit but will work pretty well below a 40 or 37 latitude BWDIK Haim
