Fabs.

I know they have fuel cells etc. The only thing is they aren't really efficient enough at this time. If fuel cells were efficient enough every house would have one to fuel their heat and electricity. Just ain't happening yet. And the electric utilities aren't gonna let it happen either. As far as the natural gas..they have had that technology for years. We had a Natural gas fueling station at the Airport where I worked. It just never worked all that well. Was ok for buses. They even had some fleet cars that ran on NG. Only lasted a year or 2. The tanks were too large and the range was too short. And then again NG is a petroleum based fuel. The greenies won't go for it. You have no idea how much the greenie revolution is affecting your everyday life right now. One of the reasons we now have ultra low diesel fuel...and the price we have to pay for it. Global warming is one of the calls to arms with the greenie bunch. Whether it is true or not...they have the world believing it is...so we pay while other countries(developing countries) go about their merry way with the destruction of their environments. (well, we did it in the past, didn't we??). There are many things on the drawing boards that will help to fix a lot of these problems..but will they be developed as long as there is profit in the old ways?? I think you know the answer to that question. In my opinion the dogooders in this country have destroyed our ability to compete in manufacturing that we have lost our place in the world economy..all in the name of political correctness and environmental correctness too. Hell we had a bunch of steel from the twin towers melted down for a monument to the 9-11 debacle...and we had to send it to a foreign country to have it melted. What a shame...and a sham for correctness!!
