I just spent 87 hours without power. I would very much like something like this!

Wow, that's great news - fuel cell for the home. If the cost came down and it became mainstream, imagine how that would change things. One thing that surprised me was this..."Customers can expect to have the system pay for itself within five to eight years." If it costs $56 then to pay for itself in five years it would have to eliminate over $10,000 in energy costs for a home...is that a normal amount of energy cost for a home? Seems kind of high, no?
