Thanks ds. What I find funny is that the MIT guy is pushing this as a home power plant using solar power and a fuel cell. First, we all know home solar is no where near cost effective, nothing changes here. Second, we all know fuel cells are not cost effective. How would this system that contains the two be cost effective? I more see this as a low cost way to make hydrogen from water. They you could use that to say power a car(as long compressing it isn't too expensive). There are currently viable ways to power a vehicle with Hydrogen but the cost to extract it way to high.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
