Better Buy: Plug Power vs. Bloom Energy

Fuel cells and hydrogen have been buzz words in the energy industry for decades, but it hasn't been until recently that they became significant businesses. Fuel cells have failed to gain traction in the passenger vehicle market, but found niches like forklifts and backup power generators. And that may just be the start of the industry's markets.

Based on the industry's prospects, Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) and Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) have a lot of potential, but I think only one is a great buy today.
