If they are rechargeable and we improve recycling efforts, what's the big deal?  I hear this a lot from techies these days and I don't get it.  Fuel cell???  It seems like a lot of wasted energy to generate H2 for H-fuel cells.  I don't get how methanol fuel cells are a major improvement over any other combustion engine.  Sure, it is a hassle to charge a battery.  You have to make the major effort to hook it up to charger overnight - big deal.  I'm a dedicated gadget enthusiast, but I not getting this.  Please clue me in.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[franz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba, Antig showcase methanol fuel cells]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/14/toshiba-antig-showcase-methanol-fuel-cells/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/14/toshiba-antig-showcase-methanol-fuel-cells/</guid><description><![CDATA[You could be right about the energy economics but that's not the real attraction. Think of fuel cells and H2 as buffer technologies that allow you to use energy made in variety of ways, hopefully renewably, in all your devices.  Rechargable batteries aren't the answer. Even rechargables are polluting to make (e.g. extraction of Lithium) and don't last forever.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt Whyndham]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Toshiba, Antig showcase methanol fuel cells]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/14/toshiba-antig-showcase-methanol-fuel-cells/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/14/toshiba-antig-showcase-methanol-fuel-cells/</guid><description><![CDATA[H2 technologies are not pollution free. <br>H2O the byproduct is also a greenhouse gas: <br>it contributes to global warming]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ebillgo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
