It's one of those things that will be all the rage if it's bogus.
Notice it takes almost 8 minutes before they start talking about the fuel that has to go in to make it work, and the nitwit reporter says "even solar energy?" Idiot.
And they had to get a stab at the US didn't they? "because Americans (sneer hiss) use twice as much electricity".
If that little tiddler pile of plates the guy is holding and a bottle of LNG will run half of a house, then put it in a car. Money, mouth, you know.
Look, if it works, I'd love to be an early adopter. But we've all been here before. Five words: Dennis Lee and Joe Newman.
Hard to say. All we got in fourteen minutes of our lives that we aren't getting back, plus one commercial, was: sintered quartz substrate, painted with proprietary catalyst. I don't know enough about fuel cell technology to have an opinion about how plausible it sounds that this configuration, built around suitable Substances X and Y, will solve its problems. For that matter, I don't know if delicate plates that work in California's climate will also work in Minnesota's. It is true that a lot of smart people have been working on the problems, though, and not solving them.
As for personal, guy selling this stuff spent the entire segment smiling with his mouth but not his eyes. And yes, the reporter is a total air-head. "Even solar?" "Absolutely!" Uh, what?

There was no mention of the waste heat being used for heat.
In the winter it would be a win/win.
Or the waste water being used for water.
That would be nice also.
No mention of the CO2.
Well, the trees need it.
Natural gas as fuel?
Supposedly, there's plenty.
