If technological breakthroughs increase the feasibility and attractiveness of fuel cells as a means of propulsion for vehicles,the profits that can be earned from the developers of the fuel cell technology will be limited by:
A)The greater environmental attractiveness of battery-powered electric vehicles
B)The dependence of fuel cell technology on specialized investments by auto makers in designing new cars and fuel suppliers in supplying hydrogen refueling facilities
C)The likely ineffectiveness of patents relating to fuel cells
D)Lack of interest in vehicle owners in fuel cell technology

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even with technological breakthroughs, the profitability of fuel cell technology will be limited because auto makers must invest in designing vehicles that can use fuel cells, and fuel suppliers must invest in creating hydrogen refueling infrastructure. This specialized investment limits the potential market for fuel cell vehicles.
