New Fuel Cell: NYT Article

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/24/business/energy-environment/24bloom.html?em

Bloom Energy claims to have developed a fuel cell that, using natural gas, can produce electricity at 8 to 10 cents a kilowatt-hr. That is a competitive price for electricity. However, no mention of oxygen depletion in this article.

With this announcement fuel cells have taken a big step to becoming more mainstream. Excessive oxygen depletion must be investigated before this technology is adapted on a mass scale.
