Note that counting the useful (in Alaska anyway!) co-generated heat
the CFCL fuel cell is 85% efficient. I guess 15% heat goes out with
the exhaust gasses? Problem here is we are running out of available
gas. Getting local gas lines built to utilize North Slope gas has
been a political football here for decades. We may have to import
gas before gas line construction is complete.
