This is the kind of break through that is needed, but they said full production (whatever that means) is still a few years away (2010-2011).
if that works, that company will be bought up by big oil soon. .....we will never hear from them again

Plug Power was a small, independent fuel cell developer in Troy NY..they we making huge steps forward in that technology..(about 8-10 years ago)....till GE bought them out....you don't hear a whisper from them now....
