There is an article in the current Soundings as well.

okay anybody think its funny that the fuel cell does not drive the ship in any way, it uses turbines burning natural gas. also it has to fill once a week, still sounds like it has a long way to go

Here is a fuel cell car for comparison. Want one? Got $4,000,000?
