Fuel cells in California.

Sometimes market-led does head in the right direction -like in an area like California where electrical power has become an issue of when and if, at times, it makes sense to look at alternatives and fuel cell technology is a sensible way forward in at least some cases. Downside is that some of the hydrogen is being produced from mineral gas, the good news in this case is that a virtuous cycle is also being created using waste methane as the precurser.



And, well, it's not entirely the market since there is a state incentive at work too

"federal government needs to provide incentives to ramp up demand because fuel cells will remain more expensive than traditional energy sources for the immediate future. The adoption of fuel cells "has more to do with political will than with technological problems," "



Way to go, though.

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
