   Hi Patrick and All,
        Can you say bandwidth. With all this interest
in fuel cells why not start a fuel cell list? That way
everybody gets what they want.  Those of us who want
ev's now will have to wade thru fuel cell posts. The
shear number of post could easily get over a hundred a
day.  That would make people leave the list .         
                                           I don't
know how you'll talk about fuel cells without talking
about fuels. That is a large can of worms. To see what
I mean check out the AE list.
    This list as an ev resource is way too valuable to
the world to lose. It has giving me the info I need to
become a ev manufacturer soon. It has the potential to
make this happen over and over again but only if it
keeps it's focus.                                     
               So why not a Fuel Cell list?           
                                           Fuel Cells
may produce electricity but by no means are they
batteries. They are much closer to ICE's than
batteries.                                            
    Electricity is an universal energy form that makes
competition to keep prices low, With fuel cells you're
at the mercy of only a few sources controlled by
people who want to stick it to you as hard as they
can. There is an old saying, Be careful what you ask
for, you might get it.                                
                              Thanks,   jerry dycus
