Oh my GOD!  Not another fuel cell conspiracy!

These fuel cells are large, and their purchase cost is spread over thousands
of ratepayers, and they can afford a 20-year payback.  Maybe they are
practical for Tokyo, but that STILL doesn't mean they are practical for
every household.  (In fact, it is not possible to judge if they are
practical for Tokyo from the article).  Please, no more conspiracy.  If you
want a fuel cell, go buy one -- they are commercially available.  They are
not available at your local hardware store because your local hardware store
doesn't stock $100,000 parts.
