Fuel cells are not an energy source
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Dear Scientifically-Challenged Journalists Of The World:
Please stop writing that fuel cell devices are an energy source. They are not. They do not generate energy. They need input from a conventional energy source to operate, be it natural gas, electricity produced by coal-fueled power plants, or magical pixie gas from your backyard compost pile. They may be damned efficient, and that’s great, but they’re basically fancy rechargeable batteries.
Thank you.
