yes, I did mention this -- still more expensive than utility power for a typical residential customer -- but using the heat exchanger makes sense if you're going to do it -- got to be as efficient as possible.

If the development comes along (reduces the initial capital costs) to a point where some might be inclined to ignore the cost difference -- or you live in a real high cost area like CA, you still have the issue of the loss of fuel diversity.

Maybe a moot pt in CA??

Fun it's my understanding PEMs (proton emission) do not produce "heat." The FCEL style fuel cells (solid oxide) do.
