Ene-Farm home fuel cell in Japan

Tokyo Gas and Panasonic have joined forces to develop a new model of the “Ene-Farm” home fuel cell, where it will generate electricity for your personal use via a chemical reaction between oxygen in the atmosphere and hydrogen extracted from city gas, with heat being the byproduct of this process which can be channeled for heating your interior as well as providing you with a constant stream of hot water supply, now how about that? Isn’t this the green development that most people should be looking for? After all, with electricity being generated and used at the same place, you won’t lose much in transmission. We most likely won’t see such a system Stateside anytime soon, although one can always hope.
