My thoughts on fuel cells oscillate. Now I'm down on them.
Last year, the NY Times Magazine published a promising story on the future of fuel-cell powered homes. Now (10 Nov. 2008) they find that the company that was featured has yet to install a single new system. Too expensive.
Also Materials Technology (December 2008) points out that large-scale application of fuel cells depends on the availability of Pt catalysts, which material is in limited supply. Efforts to find a substitute are still in early development.
