Well I live in Canada, I drive an ICE vehicle, and it starts in -40 deg celcius weather, perhaps it doesnt get that cold where you are in BC, but if my car was going to freeze up in cold weather it would be toast by now. A SOFC runs colder than an ice engine does, so I asked you to explain what happens with the ICE engine scenario first. How a fuel cell in the front of the car ignites a fuel supply in the rear Im not sure. Less than 5% of my life savings is in GLE. You say Jaskay that you are long on GLE but you make some hypothetical scenario that you do not back up with any facts. Is this the posting of a long? You seem to be long on GLE and BLD, which is fine, but I suggest you find out what happens prior to posting hypotheticals. I am long on GLE. Im looking for positive and negative information on GLE. If you have negative information please share the details. I do not only look for a rosey picture on things. You stated lastly in your post "there are TREMENDOUS problems associated with their development". Please outline what those problems are. If your going to make a statement like this should you no be prepared to back it up? Please first help me to understand how a SOFC works in a vehicle, where it sits, how exposed it is, how it is protected, where the fuel source sits, etc. If you have a picture or something that shows the configuration of a SOFC in a vehicle that would be great to. Your earlier post implies you know, I assume you do given your earlier statement regarding its weight and temperature. I also assume you are saying that the cell itself is not contained in some sort of enclosure/ block that would allow for exhausting of waste heat from the cell and to protect other components of a car, similar to how a radiator works on a vehicle. I would like you to back up your statements, thats all.

Another thing of importance that people here may not be thinking about. Our technology is far superior to Ballards in another case. The cigarette lighter in a ballard car has to be made from electricty. we could have a small hole in the cooling jacket and light the sucker right on the fuel cell!!! Now there is an electrical saving nobody has thought of so far!!! the Chief
