Fuel cell industry poised for growth

WKSU's Karen Schaefer reports
Reporter
Karen Schaefer
Ohio has been funding the development of fuel cells for the past five years through grants such as the Third Frontier program. The goal is to create new high-tech jobs. But unlike industries such as bioscience, commercial fuel cells have yet to take off. How close the state's investment is to paying off?

Listener Comments:

My understanding of the technology behind experimental fuel cell vehicles is that they are completely different from gasoline-powered vehicles in terms of their design. So, no, I don't believe you'll see conversions of existing gas-powered engines, but entirely different vehicles as we do with the hybrid cars that run on both gas and battery-power.
