Fuel Cell is "Planted" at the Connecticut Science Center

The first step towards becoming the nation's FIRST science center or museum to use a hydrogen fuel cell to provide the majority of its power needs was taken this week. A 200kw UTC Power hydrogen fuel cell was "planted" on the south side of the Science Center. Once the two month installation process is completed, clean energy will be supplied onsite, reducing the carbon footprint of the cutting-edge Science Center even further.

Over the course of the year the net result of the power produced by the fuel cell and what the Science Center needs in terms of power will equal out, eliminating dependence on the power supply grid system. Now, that's green and clean!

it's not exactly "clean". it produces CO2 and uses methane to producen hydrogen. nothing is 100% clean.
