This has been a serious digression from my original point. The prime problem with fuel cells is contamination. They have fuel cells that will us gasoline, but it needs to be purer than what's available, or the membranes foul. Straight methane will catalyze to H2O and CO2 with no waste or fouling. So for that matter would any of the ethanol, methanol, etc. available from digesting vegetation, which becomes compost, which helps fertilize the next crop. Ignoring for the moment all legalization of psychoactive hemp, industrial hemp grows clean and fast and has a multitude of uses. And believe me, you can smoke all you what and not get high. The stupidity of keeping hemp illegal because the government (cops are) to stupid to tell the difference is preventing the use of a potentially valuable commodity, and keeping Dupont's profit margin up. And the oil could be put to better use making plastic for computer cases and other parts.
