Congratulations Sid, on a post that I agree with a good portion of, at least in principle. I agree hybrids are the main threat to Ballard's success, although I believe that FC's (and Ballard) will eventually win that contest. Also the point about building FC's for auto's being a drawback to stationary power, I agree with, although I'm also sure that there will be niches in stationary power where they will be perfect - places where high temps are undesireable. Perhaps I was most pleased to see no stupidity in your post re: Ballard and/or Daimler subsidizing the hydrogen/methanol infrastructure. After all, we all know Ford paid for the gasoline infrastructure...NOT! We've beaten that horse to death too many times already. When you revive it again for another round, it only serves to make you look forgetful at best, or more likely, that you just can't see past your own opinion to consider facts. By the way, I was pretty disappointed with the Barrons article. The author couldn't seem to grasp the difference between field trials and mass production. (e.g. the comparison about not sending my car back to Detroit for servicing, blah blah). I was a bit concerned when I heard about the article, thinking there might have been real problems, but after reading I concluded that (a) the author is not one of Barron's brightest lights, and (b) the author evidently does not understand the dynamics of R&D work. Garth.
