good to see things like this at work. Maybe it will be like micro chips with the power doubling and the price dropping.

Hmmm - now if I could find somebody to recharge my old AC unit without costing me an arm and a leg. Or maybe a small business loan to buy one of these things - that way, I could cool my house, and run my own power grid in the neighborhood. Of course, COOR Power might get a little upset...

Whoa! I wonder what corporation they'll give the manufacturing rights too. I mean, someone has to make a killing off of taxpayerfunded research.

Folks from Oak Ridge administered my reactor operator exam. They were knowledgeable and fair. Really fine people.


But...Don't they get it??? It' PEAK OIL time. It's the end of the world. Don't they know they are supposed to roll over and give up?;)

Here's hoping they can soon size 'em down for home use.
