I'm at the headquarters of Ballard Power Systems in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver, and my big fuel cell moment is about to occur. Following the example of the premier of British Columbia, the mayor of Chicago, and the chair of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority, I am going to drink the exhaust from Ballard's prototype fuel cell municipal bus. This is less foolhardy than it sounds, since the only emission from the fuel cell engine is water. For this reason, many people think that fuel cells can change the world. The pipe points straight down, presumably because its effluence is not a noxious gas that must be spewed into the atmosphere in hopes that it will dissipate.
