Advent of the hydrogen economy

Ok, so it’s not quite all that, but this is actually pretty important. The first commercial relatively low-cost hydrogen fuel cells are now on the market at:

the Airgen website

A search bot warned me the link that used to be above to the airgen website no longer works. Here’s an updated link to the same product:

This is tech I’ve commented on before – fuel cells are efficient little producers of electricity and ultimately there is reason to believe these will become very common. They’re already sitting in the bowels of large commercial buildings in the form of multi-million dollar backup power generators. The airgen is I believe the first solution that can be had for under $10k. When these get down to under $3-4k I will have one.

Now to solve the problem of hydrogen distribution 😉
