content: When you say a step in the right direction, where does that direction lead to? I'm probably missing something but I'm just seeing a technology that converts solar to energy at an order of magnitudes lower efficiency than basic solar cells. Fuel cells at large seem to have a similar problem of just terrible efficiency relative to just solar->battery. I'm probably overly cynical but I mostly thought the push for fuel cells was coming from fossil fuel interests looking to keep a grip on the energy market as the requirement for electrolysis or hydrogen generation in general maintains the necessity of centralized energy production companies, whereas solar enables complete energy self-sufficiency.
