This is a radical development of fuel cell technology and as best as I can tell
is the real deal.

Metal content is a cheap allow used to replace platinum for the catalyst.

I am surprised there has been no discussion on this.

I saw the 60 Minutes show on it ...and if it is for real (which it
seems to be) and competitive (no numbers for that yet but it does seem
to be), this could be the real deal.

It would be nice if it is. It's taken supposedly 400 million in private
venture capital to get it going. But before you credit the free market
for this success you have to remember that the government is just as
important. They were talking about this on CNBC today and how much the
companies like Google, WalMart, Ebay, and some others who already have
this technology at work are getting both state and federal tax credits
and subsidies to the point where the 700 million dollar cost of a
Bloombox is cut in half. So as is always the case, as much as new
innovation comes out of the private sector at least as much is coming
from the government.
