This is huge. However I'm skeptical of anybody stating 100% efficiency. Still normal electrolosis of water is only 40% efficient on its very best day, so I'd be thrilled with a system that was even just 75% efficient. 100% is the holy grail.
This is the only thing that can change my mind that fuel cells can't be the ticket away from our looming energy crisis. If this all pans out I'd start backing solar/hydrogen as the best solution. With our current electrolosis technology hydrogen is simply a dead end.
I hope these guys the best.
On a related note, can we quit producing ethanol yet? It makes no sense to keep making the crap with corn prices so high. Burning our food supply in our cars is and always was a dumb idea.
