Thanks Gulo. Are you aware of the densities for PEM's? How does a PEM cell rate against a SOFC whether planar or tubular? Is Siemens model of Tubular comparable to GLE's planar?

What is the most concerning to me, is that someone will have a breakthrough in cost, not density. It would be irrelevant to me if I had a Co-Gen that was physically 3 times larger than GLE's sitting out in my yard, with a piece of hot air trunking hooked up to it to heat my home.

So a .6w/cm2 unit, that has had a breakthrough in "production costs" is a far greater threat to a unit that is 1.5w/cm2 that can't get its costs down
