The news keeps getting better and better for the FC and worse and worse for the Arabs and the Middle East situation. I can't imagine that the rulers in the region are going to go down quietly. The reduced emphasis we are seeing on controlling Sadam Hussein leaves me wondering when he will try to take the world hostage or is the story we have a bunch of bunko.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could believe our leaders and our news sources?

The material should be ductile,so it can be forged in a press so the grooves will form without cracks. Too Soft a material will deform in the stack and cause leaks depending on the pressures used.

>>> Ballard used to machine graphite plates. They have moved beyond that and stamp out plates with a press to make grooves for the hydrogen gas. I don't know what the material is but it is soft enough to accept the stamped in grooves.<<<<
