John, I guess I am dreaming because I think fuel cells will replace mechanical engines within 20 years. They're more efficient, cleaner, and more reliable. The only problems are cost, and the need for special fuels. The cost issue will disappear once they go into mass production. They're actually simpler than mechanical engines. Also there are fuel cell designs that run on gasoline, which makes me surprised that Ballard seems to be going with methanol. I hope they have a gasoline fuel cell coming soon, otherwise this could be a problem for the company. Fun-da-Mental
