>>installation of large number of fuel cells would equate to very large amount of fuel <<
I thought of all the MW installed in gas-fired power stations plus the distribution grids - even if they have been both amortized down to zero. So the energy balance does not change, it's a different distribution pattern (in positive and negative sense)

>> right now the only economical source of hydrogen is methane << as far as I understand there's fuel cells running on methane or NG in the works, if not further down the development chain.

In any case I would agree we're talking about improvements, not of break-throughs here. And nothing has been said of renewable vs non-renewable energy resources.

My knowledge of the subject is of course in dire need of improvement. Thanks for nudging me along;)
