Greetings list,
I recently ran across this company:
http://www.hydrogenics.com/hyups.htm
They're marketing a hydrogen fuel cell generator to the telecom market. I
know they have a few competitors (Ballard Power Systems?), with more
companies in the R&D phase of product development. Would you store a large
tank of pressurized hydrogen in a downtown Manhattan office
building? Should people legally be allowed to? Does anyone think fuel
cell technology is a viable replacement for Diesel generators yet?
