You make some good points, but I do not think it is over or even necessarily a "battle". The exciting part of last weeks news was that the tests allowed GLE to produce larger amounts of energy at lower temps. If the company can continue on this track, the stock will soar IMHO. Mike

The ability of the GLE FCs to run at 650c is a major plus. As an example stainless steel degrades 14 times faster at 900c compared to 650c. The ability to handle and work with materials at these temperatures is a major plus for Global. They have the experience from their years of experience with Thermoelectric generators

Scott, I would suggest you check out your information and call either the companies communications dept. or call the pres. yourself (he is very approachable). To answer your question now from my perspective which isn't saying much - the sofc that GLE has runs at a lower temperature and provides more power (what is the temperature of the exhaust coming off a 200HP internal combustion engine (4,6,8 cylinder) it is very high. The heat is not the issue - the issue is retrofitting existing technology with a higher efficiency pollutant free product. GUESS WHAT - GLE DID THAT APRIL 8TH. With one swipe they have redrawn the landscape and jumped in front of BALLARD and their own projections for themselves! We all here should be pushing Jim Perry for a News Release on details and calculations as to exactly what the cost is per kilowatt and how much cheaper these are going to be for the consumer and in terms of production. I know that the cost/kilowatt was a concern - but from what I have read here and at the other sites that is no long a GLE concern. IT IS DEFINATELY A BALLARD CONCERN!!!!!!
