[Vision2020] Fuel Cells

[David Douglas]

Wayne, 

You write:

"Many years ago a small company in southern California developed an
economical method of using solar generated electrical power to produce and
to store hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis."

And

"Guess what?  The small company was bought by a petroleum consortium and
their research disappeared from commercial consideration as did a number of
other promising alternative energy proposals."




Do you have any specific data on this?  The data might include:
	small company name, 
	petroleum consortium name, 
	dates, 
	patents.
	etc.

What you say may very well be true. But it is rife 
with generalities, reminiscent of the old story of the 100 mpg 
carburetor that has been kept from the market (for decades).  

With specifics, this is an account of, at best, a truly wasteful 
business practice.  Without specifics, the account remains, 
as yet, unverifiable--a part of the realm of 
big-business-behaving-badly urban legends.

Best,

David Douglas
