Verizon's Fuel cell technology for Indian rural areas

CNET news has images of the Verizon fuel cell project, which is the largest fuel cell project to power Verizon's call-switching center in Long Island (NY). Each fuel cell produces 200 kilowatts of power, enough to power more than 50 single-family homes. Also, the excess hot water produced is used to heat the building, cutting the fuel need to half.

Something like this is needed in Rural India to solve the problem of electricity and offset the rising cost of fuel. India should invest in such technologies for its good and the greater good of the world!
