Wow -- they won't leave this one alone, with they? quote.yahoo.com I still say it is a bunch of hype ... there's a niche, but everyone isn't going to have one in their backyard. Look at the capital costs -- they have a long way to go before they can be competitive in any broad sense ... eia.doe.gov

Ike, I think the author of that note hit in on the head. Fuel cells won't be doing much until the end of this decade. That is kind of far out in time for me to be buying them. I think Ballard is a class act, but $106 for a co. that won't have significant profits for many years makes my calculator overheat on the discounted opportunity costs. SWC had a great run and is cooling a bit. The recent run up in bonds is slightly negative for inflation hedges. I'd buy more at $23. Again. <g>
