Plug Power: Don't Bet On Auto Fuel Cells - Plug Power, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG) | Seeking Alpha



This is a very good article talking about why fuel cells for autos will probably never work on a large scale.  The article was written by an engineer who is very skilled at knowing how important efficiency and economics affect the outcome of products.  Fuel cell cars are a lot less efficient compared to electric cars, and there is also a huge infrastructure problem with using hydrogen.  So, we are better off not running after fuel cells for the next big thing.  The story will take to long to work out even if success finally arrives.
