This will not happen while lower cost alternatives exist.

Therefore, commercialization of PEM fuel cells will continue to be a far future event.

The only viable near term path is for high temperature fuel cell technology that produces usable thermal output with electricity as a by-product; i.e. phosphoric and molten carbonate.
