You know, after thinking about it a little more, I also started to realize that these things have an awfully long "eclipse", too! Say at a London latitude in the winter time, they would have to go from about 3:30 pm to 6:00 am (or so, I'm running from an imperfect memory) on batteries! OK, they are using fuel cells, but it is still energy that must be generated during the day, and last all night long.

YIKES!
