For environmentalists, Powercel would deliver power with a plus: the only waste products of its chemical reaction are harmless water vapor, carbon dioxide, and a little heat. Its on-site use would eliminate unsightly power lines as well as the complex network of power plants, substations and generators...

Should TRICAP prove out over the next three years, it will employ tanks for shock on the ground, Hueys and CH-47 Chinooks for troop transport, and either Cobra gunships, or the new Lockheed Cheyenne missile platforms for air support. The modernized division will be assigned as part of the U.S. commitment to NATO defensive units in Western Europe...
