Fuel Cells As An Alternative To Remote Power Lines
Sunday, August 28, 2005
"A Town of Tompkins home is the site of a yearlong fuel cell demonstration project that is expected to provide valuable information about the cost and serviceability of using a hydrogen fuel cell to supply electricity to a rural residence. The long-term goal is to determine whether the fuel cells, which convert propane into hydrogen fuel that generates electricity, could be used as an alternative to erecting far-flung distribution systems of poles and wires, which cost $50,000 per mile to construct and $4,500 a year to maintain."
