"To a business executive, who must focus on profits, the added cost of fuel cell power is usually prohibitive. But for America as a whole, and indeed humanity as a whole, the cost difference is relatively small. Why? Because price comparisons don’t account for the massive secondary cost of fossil fuels: air pollution, global warming, and the fact that our oil supply is finite. "

That is what makes this article "socialist kook bait".

"with this technology we could tell OPEC to collectivly jump in a lake"

Yeah--currently the nuke plants' power is basically wasted at night, since you can't just "turn it off." It could be used instead to separate hydrogen from oxygen.
