Correct. The first commercial fuel cells will be small ones to run
laptops and other small portable devices. The fuel will be ethanol.

Also, warming is not confined to both the earth and mars, but also
Neptune and mercury. If you follow the literature on warming you will
note that most science was more concerned with global cooling some 50
years ago. The next ice age was imminent. Lots of scientists are
checking the tail of the elephant and giving us definitive descriptions
of the animal without really understanding what they are looking at. Sun
cycles are still poorly understood since there are multiple cycles which
overlap in harmonics, just like sounds do. And don't get me started on
computer forecasts.
