The thumb sized methanol fuel cell is here!

wow. just a few weeks ago, I was being bashed on a certain weblog for suggesting that perhaps, because we have so many cows and garbage, we could use methane (I'm assuming methanol is methane source) as a renewable energy source.

and whallah! toshiba.

absolutely brilliant -- if this thing can generate enough electricity to run an mp3 player for 20 hours on a single charge, imagine what is next!

hint: mitsubishi? toyota?
