Any hard info on the new fuel cell conversion units?

Theoretically, they are 50% efficient and produce high quality heat as a by product but I’ve never seen how they perform in the field.

For a large power plant, I don't think that would cut it for the extra cost I would expect on a per kilowatt basis.

The very best combined cycle turbine generators are now getting up to 60% efficiency.
