Apparently there are some efforts to make home fuel cell electrical generators that use natural gas. All well and good if your area uses natural gas.
I personally would like to see a propane powered a/c unit that could cool a house. For 4-5 months you can live without electricity in the southwest, but without a/c you have a major problem.
CA offers incentives for rich homeowners with AC, pools and hot tubs to install solar electric panels. No such luck for the small users.
The real irony is that they use conservative talk show hosts to pimp the incentives in ads.
