Adopt with guardrails

Why: Only one of the three commercially shipping at GW scale today with proven fast deployment (55 days) and high efficiency (~60% electrical on hydrogen, ~90% CHP); real-world readiness is high — the caveat is carbon, not maturity.
Next: Treat Bloom SOFC as the deployable near-term option (90-day-to-12-month lead time) for grid-constrained sites, but gate on a documented CO2/MWh and hydrogen-transition plan before making any sustainability claim.
