Sid Please note message 3058. Why do we not see similar announcements regarding stationary applications for ERC? Why would large organizations like this waste their money if it, as you would suggest, is already evident that the ERC solution would be better?

I've read that United Technologies has a few fuel cells out for trials, but I have not kept up with ERC's progress. Can you tell me what they have accomplished in the past year and how their stock is performing? Even with the last few month's slide, Ballard has far outperformed most competitors and many tech stocks over the past 3 years. I firmly believe it will go much higher from here over the next 3 to 5 years.

In any non-utility application such as hospitals there will always be trained Power Engineers needed to operate any stationary power generators along with the Boilers for steam and hot water. There are some Occupational Health and Safety guidlines for the qualification of the personal, operating large scale plant facilities. Of course you don't need to be a power engineer to operate your home water heater. CL >>> Mike: For there to be any market for stationary power fuel cells for non-utility applications they all, regardless of type, have to be black boxes that operate without any trained staff. The user need not know or care what is in them or what temperature they are operating at internally, the only question is, can they do the job: provide reliable electric power in an economic fashion. <<<
