Summary: Wonderfully Timely, and on a Tremendous Topic of Interest
Review: With great timing, the Author has delivered great insights into what possibly shall become one of THE most impressive developments of our day: making the fuel cell price-competitive with the oil-burning internal combustion engine. Having his easy-reading, often humorous, always trustworthy accounts of a technical evolution towards the latest Mark 900 Ballard PEM fuel cell engine is great fun. I highly recommend this Book to all. I only wish that there were similar books too, perhaps from this or from other authors, about Ballard's rivals like the FuelCell Energy MCFC fuel cell, the passive DMFC from DCH Technology and Manhattan Scientifics, the SOFC from Global Thermoelectric, the United Technologies PAFC unit from IFC, and those from Plug Power, Avista Corporation, Anuvu, Astris Energi, and a growing list of others. Perhaps the Author will do us the favor of a new Book, one that surveys rapid growth and notable accomplishments as we now move ahead, towards a Hydrogen Economy? Of course the topic of a Hydrogen Economy is a whole new topic unto itself, and one where Mr. Ballard (and his General Hydrogen Corp.) may soon again figure prominently. I suspect this great book will fire your interest in the fuel cell, as it certainly has done for me. Dr. Rob Wilder, rob@pacificwhale.org
