I didn't watch the video I take your word for it, and at this point just getting good news out there about the fuel cell industry is good for all fuel cell companies. As we are still the B child or black sheep, but that is beginning to change. While I definitely agree presentation and fluent or eloquent communication is beneficial, Few has done that. Bloom had a significant jump start with advertising and money. Al Gore and general Powell were investors and it was promoted politically as a result. FCE doing much work behind the scenes with the government in that same time treading water financially with a marginal (at best);CEO. If Few was driving The ship sooner we would be in a much better place. But we still would not be allowed to really soar until government, society, and investors were ready. The world is now ready. I think our biggest deficiency right now is the inability to expand as rapidly as the demand is growing. I'm sure we're going to miss out on some business based on people not wanting to wait a couple extra years for a product. That's by no means Few's fault. They can't really spend the money on growth or hiring until the time is right. They failed in the past by screwing that up before Few. I think the timing of everything was pretty spot-on. Bloom has had more money and more investors all along again related to politics. Just like Doosan owned by Bobcat.

from what I can tell the new solid oxide solutions from FCEL will allow for smaller more attractive "packaging".
It must be a feature of the technology that MCFC have to be so large and "ugly".

PLUG will need some similar styling for their large stationary FC's (for EV charging or datacenter back up) and for smaller electrolysers. They hired Blooms Marketing guru of course so I expect that will happen.

Ballards are all internal so are packaged for each vehicle/train/ship
