Do they get recycled or do the hazardous heavy metal laiden stacks go into a landfill?

Manufacturing costs to the environment and End of life more important than slightly better electrical efficiency.

Hence NJ – Storm SANDY!!! Whats the value of NOT having to move EVERY SINGLE PATIENT and staff out of a hospital when this is the last thing you should do durning a hurricane? Health savings as in the air we breathe?… or maybe just having RELIABLE POWER when you need it? There are many problems that are solved with Fuel Cell Technology. Have a look at a little research on it. It is competitive and then some when you factor in these benefits. It’s cheaper if you ask me but this is just my opinion…

If it’s not 40-50% or more then whats the point.
