GM and Dow Begin Largest Installation.

The Dow Chemical Company and General Motors Corp. began the Phase 1
installation operations of a single fuel cell that will convert hydrogen
into electricity for four to six months.  More fuel cells and electrical
generating capacity added during the summer months, and Dow and GM plan
to ultimately install up to 400 fuel cells to generate 35 megawatts of
electricity - enough power for 25,000 homes.
