Thanks for the extra information, 'Gene. Doesn't it cost a lot to cover your
roof with the gear to convert solar photon energy to hydrogen? I mean, if this
were a feasible alternative to paying the electric utility companies, wouldn't
Californians be doing it right now? And if it is a feasible alternative,
shouldn't we be investing in fuel cell manufacturing?
