I completely understand where you are coming from with regard to ATF and BLD. But you have to look at the automotive future only when comparing ATF to BLD. I believe that the ATF products will be realized more easily in developing countries without a lot of competition from Ballard, mainly due to cost. In developed countries though I believe that fuel cells are going to become a significant factor in all forms of power requirements. I don't believe that it will be long before sales of fuel cell engines overtake internal diesel sales in the developed world, leaving the combustion engine assembly lines to end their life cycles feeding the developing world, hence ATF. Also natural gas is a good fuel for fuel cells later.
