I for one appreciate your work Congressman Gordon. Keep up the good work.

I was privileged to work with Tom Dittoro of HDR in Omaha NE when we all worked on the design for the Omaha National Bank Visa Credit card processing center . The system consisted of Fuel Cells , Rotary UPS systems and Low Speed Fly wheels and is the primary source of power for the data center .at the time, It is one of the largest fuel cell systems in the USA. Although my company, Piller, didn’t supply the fuel cells which were supplied by United Technologies, we provided the rotary UPS units, transfer systems and low speed fly wheel systems which were used to replace the standard strings of lead acid batteries .

The reason for the above diatribe is really simple. The fuel cell technology we used in the Omaha National Bank project was developed in the 1950s and the rest of the system was developed and manufactured in Germany. As a Country we have fallen behind in the technologies that his country needs to succeed in this Century. In the 1970s, through tax incentives, were the leader in wind power but after RR became President those tax incentives were gutted and we now have the privilege of buying the advanced wind technology and systems from the Scandinavians.
