The physics isn't in fuel cells. There are much better ways to solve the superficial problems in energy. Fuel cells have their added value applications just like many other niche technologies. So the physics of mass fuel cell deployment has the same potential that wind farms had during the '70s.

If I may interject... The actual fuel cells are only part of the equation. The greater and more immediate benefits will come from related technologies such as high temp superconducting wire (to decrease loss during transmission) and energy storage units (to buffer the surges/brown-outs from the grid). The innovation being shown leaves the door open for applications unknown at this time. The efficient generation of power from fuel cells shows promise but we shall see. The sector has attracted a lot of interest and I have difficulty investing in companies on which the high valuations are based on promises. If I were to put money in now then I would look for a larger company with diversified products. My $0.02 as a lurker.
