The micro CHP market in Japan is the biggest in the entire world with well over 30,000 residential cogen units installed. The major problem with Ballard's market is that fuel cells are still pretty expensive as Japan has only installed a couple thousand. They should have gotten into the natural gas end as European countries are developing their technical standards as we speak. Whispergen and Plug Power are moving into the European market next year. We will see how they make out. Ballard has made a big mistake. The micro CHP market in Japan is the biggest in the entire world with well over 30,000 residential cogen units installed.
