Ceramic Fuel Cells::::::a crowded marketplace?

I just received an email from UK-Analyst.com (owned by t1ps.com limited). I usually treat these kind of recommendations with caution, however, they are interesting to read when one is a holder of the shares mentioned. Although the company being tipped is not mentioned by name, it sounds awfully like CFU:

Dear friend,

You may well be thanking me this time next year...

Because if you're clever enough to buy the one energy stock I'm going to tell you about today, I believe you could have made upwards of 60% on your investment by then... and be well on your way to more of the same........................

Instead, I want to show you why most of the "solutions" to the oil crisis being splashed all over the press won't work... and to reveal the one commercially viable alternative energy technology that's likely to get utility company CEOs reaching for their chequebooks...

Read on and I'll explain why I believe this development will take off rapidly over the next four years as the oil crisis deepens... why people are going to be falling over themselves to bring this safe, cheap and efficient technology into their homes...

So how on Earth is a cupboard going to solve the world's energy crisis?

Presently, there are only THREE of these in the world... The one in the picture above is sitting silently in a room in Victoria, Australia. There's another one in Oldenburg, Germany, and a third in Wellington, New Zealand.

So what is it?

Well, it could be the ONLY cost-effective solution to the world oil crisis... it could be a technology that's going to slash TWO-THIRDS off energy bills by 2010...

Locked in this cupboard is the means to produce as much electricity and hot water as a family needs, on demand... it's a solid-oxide fuel-cell stack (SOFC).

Now I know that fuel cells are normally associated with powering cars... but this one is different. It's for the home. And I'm not exaggerating when I say that it COULD change the way we buy and use energy - forever.

The truth is there needs to be massive investment in new equipment and delivery mechanisms before any of them - solar, wind, wave; whatever - can be implemented nationally. That's why most of these 'alternatives' never make it out of research centres or further up the news schedules...

But these fuel cell "cupboards" plug straight in!

This is the main reason why I believe this is such a fantastic emerging investment opportunity for you... and why a triple-digit gain within 12 months is not out of the question at all...

You see, these units require no national delivery mechanism. They generate all the electricity and heat at source and deliver it to wherever it's needed in the house: radiators, lights, TV, computer, toaster... whatever...

They're designed to fit into an existing domestic kitchen or utility room... they're the size of a conventional dishwasher!

One of them would provide a family with enough power - electricity and hot water - to handle their current consumption and then some...

With all of this electricity being produced safely in peoples' homes, imagine how much the National Grid could save in ongoing repairs to worn power lines, pylons and neglected sub-stations!

The firm that developed this fuel-cell stack provided utilities with a business model based on over 10,000 hours of testing this technology.

They wanted to show utility companies how much profit they could make given two different supply scenarios.

And the results were staggering...

Based on identical customer usage and cost per kilowatt hour (kWh), the utility company stands to increase their profit margin by a whopping 89.97% by switching from current grid-supplied electricity to the fuel-cell model.

It's simple: with electricity being produced in people's homes, there would be no production or transportation costs for utilities!

The bottom line is this: SOFC stacks work as a commercial proposition to the energy companies - in a way that solar power or wind turbines never could. We're talking about a technology that could boost their margins by almost 90%...

Let's not lose sight of the real story here... You see, these "cupboard" units are 2-3 years away from market at the earliest...

Invest quickly and I believe you could make 180% gains in just three years at a rate of 60%-a-year starting straight away!

In fact, in his 2005 budget, Chancellor Gordon Brown slashed VAT on fuel-cell combined heat and power units from 17.5% to 5% to stimulate demand!
