This is the email I just sent to the National. Perhaps some of the rest of you canucks can send something similar. Subject: Tonights National 15th March 2000 Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 21:52:18 -0800 To: national@toronto.cbc.ca I have just watched Peter Mansbridge reporting on a fuel cell from the University of Pennsylvania. He stated that this was the first fuel cell to use gasoline to produce electricity. This is wrong, totally wrong. A Canadian company, Global Thermoelectric from Calgary, has produced a fuel cell that works in combination with a gasoline reformer made by Delphi Automotive. This produced electricity last December and was publicised at that time. Just last week BMW reported to the SAE 2000 conference in Detroit on its studies of the fuel cell and reformer and stated that it will have the fuel cell from Global Thermoelectric contained in an Auxiliary Power Unit on board a BMW vehicle by the end of this year. It is very likely that the APU will be in production vehicles by 2002. This fuel cell will very likely be in a combination home furnace, hot water heater and electricity generation unit within 3 years. I suggest that you report on this Canadian company's progress in the near future with the same amazement that you showed today towards the American University.
