I think the Natural Gas producers in the US are missing a massive opportunity by not fully pushing Fuel Cell technology. The industry (Nat Gas) has two main issues, 1) Production ie fracking and 2) Emissions. Fuel Cells take care of #2 completely and for #1 the argument is easily made that since you solve the emissions problem, you have to accept a certain amount of impact on any extraction of energy (lithium, etc). We however control the production within our borders (national/energy security) and are not pushing the messy extraction on third world countries (dealing with our own trash - similar to dealing with nuclear waste)

Bloom has done a good job of late and Watt Fuel Cell is another company I am keeping an eye on. I truly believe that this is a major path forward in the US as the infrastructure already exists and we are the best in the world at gas extraction.
