FuelCell Energy's (FCEL -5.01%) fuel cell technology could be a major step forward in how we produce electricity and potentially transportation fuels. If only the company could gain some momentum in becoming profitable. While sales have been growing steadily over the past five years, the company has hit a couple bumps so far in 2014. Surprisingly, though, sales is not the biggest issue for FuelCell Energy, which is actually selling its products and services for a profit.
