Small article in this months "Popular Science"....."Outbreak of Fuel-Cell Fever"........had this in it.." Meanwhile,BMW ad Delphi Automotive are developing a fuel cell to replace todays alternator to help save weight and improve the efficiency of that old standby, the internal combustion engine ".......nothing we did not know before but its nice to see it in print.:)...For early entry to the market...hybrids seem like the way to go...Zevco from Britain is going this route....5-7kw cell charging batteries. Easier....economical and pollution free since their using hydrogen. They already have some sold....Would like to point something out.. .. SOFC are not bothered by CO.. but the website does say 10ppm sulphur only.
May be awhile before refiners are forced to go this low in gasoline......raisin

Excellent post Blue Chip, you've hit the nail on the head.

Look at these comments from DPH. I had forgotten about Satellite Systems and Internet Communications. More users of electricity in an auto.

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Delphi Automotive Systems Corp. (DPH) is moving beyond
the traditional auto-parts business into the high-tech systems now going into
cars and trucks, said Chief Executive J.T. Battenberg III.
"The convergence of satellite communications and Internet communications
into the automobile" plays into the strengths of Delphi, Battenberg told CNBC
in an interview Wednesday.
Delphi, which General Motors Corp. (GM) spun off earlier in the year, is one
of the companies behind the combination of these technologies in steering and
braking systems.
