New Process Allows Fuel Cells To Run On Coal

Zothecula writes "Lately we're hearing a lot about the green energy potential of fuel cells, particularly hydrogen fuel cells. Unfortunately, although various methods of hydrogen production are being developed, it still isn't as inexpensive or easily obtainable as fossil fuels such as coal. Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, however, have recently taken a step towards combining the eco-friendliness of fuel cell technology with the practicality of fossil fuels — they've created a fuel cell that runs on coal gas."

Yay!

This is excellent - we now have another way to use up the diminishing supplies of fossil fuels even faster! What will they think of next?

I'd actually buy that, just to piss off the overbearing Greens movement of today and their insane and self-destructive attitude on power generation.
