    FUEL CELLS FOR CAMPERS. FUTURE GETTING CLOSER

    I was blown away when I first read about hydrogen fuel cells. When we figure out how to make electrical energy cheaply on the large scale hydrogen fuel cells will take off. Very exciting to see they are begging to come available to the public and prices are dropping. Thanks for the link!

    IBS Dual battery fuse question?
