AirUCI faculty Jack Brouwer spoke at Stark State College in North Canton, Ohio on October 3, 2018 for the 18th annual Ohio Fuel Cell Symposium. He made the case that, while wind and solar farms are generating clean power at lower and lower prices, it's not always when the energy is needed. Fuel cells could change that equation, eliminating the need for large coal and nuclear power plants and leading to a zero-emissions electric grid. Read the article
