if we can put a man on the moon in under a decade we can damn sure develop the hydrogen fuel cell. This country just needs the leadership to make the commitment. We need to get past the oil lobbyists, ours and the ones from the Middle East. We need to encourage private industry without just giving start up companies millions of dollars just to see them fail. Fail because they were designed to fail to line someone' pocket. We can't compete with China to make solar panels! Their labor cost are rising but not to the extent that we'll be able to compete anytime soon. The American and Canadian consumer have been screw by Globalization. Here's how it works. China makes a solar panel and it cost them 50 bucks to make. They sell it to the US and Canadian consumer for $300. They make $250. They sell it to the government of some potentate in the middle east for $75.00 and they still make $25.00. They sell them to someone in the mountains of Chile for $55.00 and they still make $5.00 all the time keeping the American manufactures out of the business with lower labor shipping costs. No wonder our "green Industry" is in the toilet. IMHO we need the development of small hydrogen fuel cells which we can install in our local distribution substations which we already have. We can generate the power we need for individual neighborhoods locally, distribute it over infrastructure we already have for a fraction of the cost of Nuclear or coal, get a byproduct of oxygen and tell the Arabs to go pound sand. But, like I said you need to get past the United Mine workers union, the oil industry and their unions and lobbyists and the money funneled to our congress by the Arabs. Building windmills is the same as sward fighting with them and that didn't work out so well for Don.
