Wall Street in a Buzz Over Power Biz

A lengthy article available on the free online service discusses a variety of alternative power sources including fuel cells and microturbines. Hammerschmidt compares Capstone Turbine’s prospects with those of General Electric in the microturbine space: “Capstone is the first mover, and what they have is superior to what GE has, but GE could catch up.”
