Kailish-- >>>You may have noticed the surge of interest in fuel cells. It turns out a lot of investors thought they were an alternative source of energy (!) -- this is why they bought. Even analysts are saying they are a good buy as long as oil prices stay above $25.<<< In the case of Proton Emission Fuel Cells, hydrogen (reformed from other sources such as natural gas, methanol, what have you) is the fuel which produces power...so in a manner of speaking they are an alternative source of energy (in the same way solar power is an alternative energy source)...more specifically for electricity...which can be used to power vehicles. The analyst probably meant that investor interest in the FC companies would stay high as if the price of oil stayed above $25? I've seen investor interest in fuel cells wax and wane since 1997...the primary catalyst is hype...or lack thereof which usually is not directly tied to the price of oil.
