9/26/07 Coverage of Day 2 of the 10th Grove Fuel Cell Symposium ". . . it looked like Grove apathy has started earlier this year . . . seems to be that projected manufacturer data and real data isn’t necessarily the same thing. . . It is somewhat disappointing to report that the presentations in the transport track were not that well attended by delegates. . . I can not help but feel a little disappointed in the lack of new information. For example, many speeches made reference to demonstration programmes that have ceased operation (particularly the CUTE bus project) and there was a feeling that much of the information had been heard before. . . rather disappointing that these [Fuel Sources for Stationary Generators and Transport Applications] talks were not particularly well attended . . ."
