Snodgrass, Kathleen . 2007. Fuel Cell Failure and Success: Big Goose Ranger Station and the Exit Glacier Nature Center. 0773 2318. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Missoula Technology and Development Center. 6 p.

The first stationary fuel cell system in Wyoming and in the Forest Service was installed at Big Goose Ranger Station in 2005. The fuel cells were removed in late September 2006 because the system did not perform reliably. This tech tip summarizes the Big Goose fuel cell project and explains what the Forest Service learned from it. The National Park Service successfully used a similar fuel cell at the Exit Glacier Nature Center in Kenai Fjords National Park, AK.
