I watched the 60 minutes segment. These kinds of things interest me and after watching it, it still does.
There was not a tremendous amount of information divulged, but the 20 companies mentioned were showing savings and that's enough to keep me interested.

Any kind of hydrocarbon gas is the feedstock — it can use natural gas or biogas — and one of the outputs is carbon dioxide.

Sounds like a money-making proposition for the lactose-intolerant....

As the article states fuel cell technology has been around for a long time. The difference with the Bloombox is the main functional component can be produced cheaply and does not use platinum.

If he licenses the tech to companies such as GE and Seimens it could be quickly improved on and mass produced.

It might be time to invest in natural gas.
