QUOTE (chook @ Jun 19 2008, 03:31 PM) it could be a mainstream car, just fuel cells use Pt and are uber expensive. Fuel cells in the present market use platinum electrodes. They are in the process with replacing them with low(er)-cost ceramics though (like Solid Oxide Fuel Cells). The operating temperature is greatly higher, but they are working on reducing that as well. As for plug in cars, they are all over the place here (Denmark). Certainly nowhere near a majority but there is a national goal to make it that way in the next 15-20 years. What's cool is that the grid that powers the plug-ins at high populated areas are composed entirely of wind energy so its pretty much as green as you can get (rather than powering from something like a coal power plant). --------------------  |
