Good article on FuelCell being the primo player in the sector


I would tend to agree that large installed NatGas powered Fuel Cell stacks are a preferable solution (at this time) to any FC that requires Hydrogen/Methanol.. etc. It fits into the current fuel distribution network, and can produce both heat and hydrogen via external heat recovery.. The problem are the manufacture and installation times, which mean FCEL likely has difficulty in quickly ramping up to meet increased order flows.

And I don't understand why people prefer PLUG over BLDP.. The latter provides the FC stacks to PLUG, as well as to their own direct customer base.

Right now I'm not getting too caught up in the Fuel Cell euphoria.. I think CNG powered vehicles and energy generators (CPST?) has far greater potential at this moment. But if anyone can find a place in that market, I think FCEL has the best chance.
