Fuel Cells – The Better Batteries? A Conversation With Power & Energy Inc.

Kitco Commentary

“Don’t look at the U.S.”, urged Leeson. “The U.S. isn’t leading in alternative vehicles. Period”.

I guess that includes the Tesla automobile.  You know, I think Elon Musk is a smart guy, but I don't really understand the interest in batteries.  Perhaps battery tech will improve, but it doesn't seem to making much progress very fast.

I'm not a fan of the Tesla.  I do support fuel cell automobiles, and I think they are within reach now, if we wanted them.  Evidently not.  By the way, when I say "we", I mean the powers-that-be.  Perhaps I should say "they", not "we".  They don't seem to have our best interests at heart.

There's something else I want to mention about this article.  It has some ads at the bottom.  One was about cancer.  I clicked through and watched the video linked to on the page.  In that video, it was mentioned that war on cancer is not being won, it is being lost.  Why?  The story is a familiar one that I've documented on this blog.  It seems all too familiar.
