Fuel-Cell Powered MacBooks

Apple is no stranger to user related innovation and change – they’re always a head of the game. Well, this time they’re looking into using hydrogen fuel cells to power portable electronics. Using this energy method could significantly reduce the size, weight and cost of the fuel cell system. Apple’s reasoning for investigating this option is because they believe that the “country’s continuing reliance on fossil fuels has forced the government to maintain complicated political and military relationships with unstable governments” such as the Middle East.

Using this type of energy to power portable electronics is environmentally friendly because it is a source of renewable energy, and would allow our devices to stay charged for days and weeks on end! Of course, there are challenges associated with this idea and Apple is currently in the first phase of exploration.
