Glenn, Ballard's main advantage is the development of cheap(er) membranes to use for these fuel cells. That was the first key development. The other is a cheaper cell construction. But the technology is still expensive right now - where are you going to get the hydrogen for use in cars? The national labs have been developing a reformer - converting gasoline into hydrogen and CO2, but that's going to be hard to integrate - especially because of impurities in the gas. BLDPF has a very good chance for stationary power sources using natural gas. I traded this stock last year and got out (unfortunate since the recent price rise!). Just watch your caboose trading this one! jjk
