Cost and durability are the major challenges to fuel cell commercialization. However, hurdles vary according to the application in which the technology is employed. Size, weight, and thermal and water management are barriers to the commercialization of fuel cell technology.

In transportation applications, these technologies face more stringent cost and durability hurdles. In stationary power applications, where cogeneration of heat and power is desired, use of PEM fuel cells would benefit from raising operating temperatures to increase performance.

So, is fuel cell technology the answer to energy woes in future?

To my knowledge it may be yes. Since we are aware that we are facing energy crisis or if not we will face in the near future; fuel cell is an opportunity which can be utilized to reduce the burden on other fossil fuels. And this technology is far more better & simpler than any other technologies that produce energy.

Thus, this will be the ultimate source of power generation in the near future........

of course. This is the most effective way to have the replacement for the traditional power producing mechanisms. When it will be produced in bulk, there will be much more ease in production , and may be lesser cost.

Fuel Cell are costlier than solar cells. So solar cells have good market in future. But only one disadvantage in solar cell is cannot be utilised during rainny season. Fuel cells may be effective when compared with solar cells

It could be or could be not. Fuel energy is quite unstable at the moment.

Solar cells on the other hand, seems to market the future as Germans and Russians have now started implementing them everywhere from construction to motors to electricity backup projects to rain-harvesting methods..!! We have destroyed Ozone layer too such extent that using Solar cells makes more sense now! i feel..

What is happening is good and a little more safety concerns will make things easy. Why to introduce other distracting factors here?
We cannot live with power cuts though there is a lot we need to do. Nuclear power is the answer and till when we do not develop an alternative to this we just cannot help it.
