Not sure what they would gain by converting to fuel cells as the article
suggests. They probably would still require onsite storage for their
hydrogen source in order to insure uniterupted supply, either hydrogen, 
lng, natural gas or propane. what's better in a fire, a heating oil tank 
or a propane tank?

How about using water power for backup? Store a big tank of water on the
top floor and use a water turbine to generate power in an emergency...

Brilliant. Lets go back to school and study a little bit of physics that one
successfully slept through. The formulas that you would like to review come
from E1 = E2, E = mgh, W = K1 - K2.
