Fuel cells are an exciting new technology that is moving rapidly toward commercial introduction.
At this point in the development process, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and others are diligently assessing ways to bring this product to market. We all understand the economic as well as energy choices facing consumers and will do all that we can to limit the cost, while making a modest profit to fund continued development. The product will enter the market at a price suitable for high-value applications and the price will be reduced as experience builds and technology develops to the point where it will be economical for a very broad spectrum of the market. We will announce the initial product price after satisfactory results are obtained from our beta test activity scheduled for later this year. This announcement could come as early as the second half of 2002 and will be published on our website.
