National Wind Solutions forms "Zero Emissions Fuel Cell" Company

Feb 9, 2009

National Wind Solutions, Inc. (NWND) announced today that it has purchased an option to acquire a breakthrough new fuel cell technology developed by one of America’s major research universities.

The acquisition of this technology is expected to be completed in about 30 days, and will be the cornerstone of NWND’s recently formed subsidiary, Zero Emissions Fuel Cell, Inc. (http://www.zeroemissionsenergy.com/).
  • Fuel cells promise clean, efficient power for both home and transportation. While most fuel cell development has focused on automotive applications,
  • NWND’s technology will be aimed at delivering power to homes and businesses. The technology will allow users to meet their complete electrical needs using natural gas to drive the fuel cell.
  • Natural gas is a readily available, environmentally friendly domestic fuel source which will be an integral part of weaning the United States from our addiction to foreign oil.
  • More than 65 million residences and businesses in the United States already have natural gas service.
  • These factors will allow for rapid adoption of this breakthrough green energy technology.

Small enterprises have created two-thirds of all new jobs since 1994 and they employ more than half of all private-sector employees.
