This week's wisdom from the Discussion Forums centres around the future of fuel cells. As we reported last week, alternative fuels are gaining momentum, and one of our members this week notes that major corporations in the US are starting to change over their fleet. Dougster points out that hydrogen is becoming more affordable - especially as fuel prices rise. "The gas surcharges are increasing everywhere, including your electric bill," he says. "This trend favours hydrogen fuel cells as the primary forklift energy source of the future. For large companies, no cranes, no chargers, no battery cleaners, no waiting for battery changes, no slow lifting when battery gets low, no battery employees, no big room to store batteries, etc. Looks like a future no-brainer to me," he says. A no-brainer indeed!
