There was an image of the guy holding a black cube in the palm of his hand. Call it roughly the size of the old Apple Cube, maybe a touch smaller. Anyway, it appears that running the thing is nearly twice as expensive as sucking down the local hydro-supplied power, and requires access to natgas, which I don't have anyway (can propane substitute?) Although it is a fair bit cheaper than running an emergency generator, and a bit cheaper than a big standby generator. Will keep my eyes on it...need to make sure we have a plan before oil hits $200/bbl and the lights really start going out. :)

Hydrogen fuel: backseat to electric vehicles? Obama focus on EVs cuts off Bush initiative Ken Silverstein \| intelligentUtility \| June 26, 2011 Obama Administration programs push electric vehicles (EVs), although the jury is out on consumer uptake. It's worth asking: what happened to hydrogen-powered cars, purportedly the cleanest possible alternative? Not only is the idea still around, major car makers say they are almost ready to introduce such vehicles. Toyota reportedly expects to have its hydrogen-powered vehicle on the road by 2015; price tag: $50,000. Daimler, Ford and Hyundai have made similar comments. Global demand for oil is expected to rise in the next two decades, while "peak oil" projections remind us that oil is a finite, fossil fuel with adverse environmental consequences—two drivers behind initiatives to develop alternatives.
