It seems to me that we already have natural gas going to every house. So all you have to do is plug your reformer/PEM into the gas line and you have all the electricity you need for your house. Your gas bill might go up a little but I bet it is insignificant compared to how much your house will save on electric bills. Oh yeah, and no brownouts. Especially good if you are a business or have computers. Incidentally, this is what GE/PLUG are in the process of doing. They were going to deliver house units to the market in January 01 but it got pushed back to Jan 02 the last I heard. Anybody want to comment on GE/PLUG?
