      So just because it’s expensive right now means we shouldn’t do it or research it? Now you sound like the people advocating against renewables.

        This isn’t a “right now” issue. Its been an ongoing problem since the '90s. And yes, throwing 10x your investment in a working solution on a speculative technology for 35 years running is a bad idea.

        Now you sound like the people advocating against renewables.

        The O&G industry has been the primary promoter of fuel cell technology. They never deliver and they’ve had far more money and time to work on this problem than the nascent solar and wind industries.
