I am curious to see how the telecommunications industry is going to grow with ReliOn. I also wonder whether they are going to try to integrate this more into vehicles and aerospace as well. One of the initiatives that the automotive/aerospace industry is undergoing is also weight reduction. By converting metals to materials such as plastics, the weight of vehicles and airplanes are dropping about 5-30%, which accounts to significant savings in fuel. One interesting fact is that every pound of weight reduced on an airplane correlates to $15,000/year in savings. The aerospace industry is also looking at integrating Fuel Cells right now to try to reduce fuel consumption. I'm interested to see what the next steps and progressions are. -Albert It is interesting to see the growth in Hydrogen Fuel Cells and Solar Energy in our economy right now, especially with the recent surge of fuel cost.
