• Abstract:
  First paragraph: "Thank you for your kind invitation to participate in this meeting and talk about a subject very dear to my heart. What role should the Government play in commercialization of mobile fuel cells. Since I retired from the government nearly 3 years ago, I find myself wondering, whether is it only my imagination that Federally funded research in some areas are progressing quite rapidly, where others are standing still. We are all aware, when the government is involved, it takes significantly longer than when industry is on its own. I was at Boeing, when the C-5A competition was decided, and as you know Boeing lost. Boeing than decided to build a commercial version of the C-5A, which is the 747, two years later the airplane was ready for flight testing. The C-5A was still two years away from roll out."
