The future of electricity generation is here, poised to explode onto the market, and it don't use no coal! A must-read for long term investors in this sector, especially if you have Nat Gas stocks (Distribution system is already in place in most of the country)!

Some additional background:

Fuel cell. Produces electricity through a chemical reaction, usually by combining hydrogen and oxygen to make water and power. Most powered by natural gas, but fuels from methanol to straight hydrogen can be used.

Turbine and microturbine. Air is heated, compressed and forced through the turbine. Hot air expands and forces it to turn, producing electricity. Usually powered by natural gas, but can run by burning wood and garbage.
