strong points and potentials
Fuel cell cars can provide more efficient and cleaner transportation. However, we use our cars for transportation only 5% of the time. So when parked, the fuel cell in the car can produce electricity from hydrogen. Cleaner and more efficiently than the current electricity system with useful 'waste' products heat and fresh water.
