My ancient cell phone's gas gauge is similarly overoptimistic, and as its aging battery holds less charge than ever, the extra-big spare keeps me connected.
Natural gas powers the four-fuel-cell system, each cell capable of producing 200 kilowatts of electricity.
As he pumped the stock with press releases like the one claiming Digital Gas had a "high temperature fuel cell" that would unlock as much as 1.1 billion gallons of oil from a neglected oil shale deposit, New Jersey officials say, Smith was using stock to renovate his home and pay his attorney.
It is powered by a hydrogen fuel-cell engine, which converts hydrogen gas into energy.
She notified her local bobby who quickly followed up resulting in the discovery of a terror cell that was preparing a poison gas attack that could have killed hundreds, possibly thousands, of Londoners.

With Plug Power, he mentioned, Honda is testing a home fueling unit that can generate hydrogen from natural gas, an important step in development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
Earlier this week, Honda produced the first commercial hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, which will rely on natural gas-derived hydrogen for fuel and will be leased for use in Los Angeles.
Little, a consultancy that has investigated the matter, the running costs to a driver of a fuel-cell car that gets its hydrogen from natural gas would be comparable to those of one that used clean petrol.
