Consumer Hydrogen Fuel Cells
axis-techno-geek writes: "Ballard Power Systems of Vancouver, BC (in Canada, eh), has stated that it will start production this friday of their consumer level Nexa(tm) hydrogen fuel cell (article here). The power module generates up to 1200 watts of unregulated DC electrical power that can keep going as long as it is supplied with hydrogen, and produces no toxic by-products (i.e. you can use it in your home). They also have plans for a 250kW unit. No price as of yet."
"You'll see it under Christmas trees or powering your Christmas trees by the end of the year," Ballard's Harris said.
Great, now all packaging will read "Hydrogen not included"

Ballard Power Systems of Vancouver, BC (in Canada, eh),
Technically they're in Burnaby and not in Vancouver. They just down the road from where I live. Nice industrial park. Walk the dog there often.
They have some sort of noisy machinery behind one of their buildings that I haven't been able to figure out what it does. Probably some sort machinery the aliens gave them to build fuel cells.
The problem with that is that there is no way for Them to put the mind-controlling flouride into the exhaust water of the fuel cell.
They are starting production of the product this Friday ... and don't have a price set for it yet.
Sounds like a dot com business model.

Yeah, now you can grow marijuana without having a suspicious power bill. The United Pot Farmer Association must be going into paroxysms of joy.
With a couple of nukes and all the tea in China, we could make this world a British paradise.
