Apparently for China’s scientists looking to lead the way in the areas of alternative energy, we have another breakthrough to follow up on BYD’s recent product release.

(h/t Eco Friendly Mag) China’s new New low-cost nickel-based fuel cell could prove revolutionary, that according to reports:

A new form of non-alkali membrane used in fuel cells could allow expensive and rare platinum to be replaced with nickel. If true, the market could soon be filled with much less expensive fuel cells and a changing attitude toward fuel economy in automobiles as fuel cells can be more efficient than internal combustion engines.

Earlier today, I was speaking to someone who said that one of the best proposals for Detroit’s Big 3 they had heard would be for the US government to fund 100 million in research on battery powered vehicles.

For me. After seeing this news.  I just think that would be another 100 million wasted.
