200 watts is hardly adequate to "power your (residential) electrical needs" and offers nothing more than proof of concept. A gimmicky trinket, really. 200 Watts is less power than many computer power supplies. I don't see any return on investment in purchasing a fuel cell and have it supply only 200 Watts of power. A more usable number for residential co-generation would start around 1kW or ideally offer between 2kW - 5kW (10x more power, the equivalent of 20 to 50 100-Watt light bulbs).
