Calling Dr. Epps ... please give this to us in untreatable examples. Bite size and digestible.
Thermionics has a future, though it’s likely to be a bumpy ride.

Eneco is a development stage company that claims to have invented and patented a “solid state energy conversion/generation chip” that will convert heat directly into electricity or alternatively refrigerate down to -200 degrees Celsius when electricity is applied.
On Jan. 11, 2008, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. (more)

ENECO Files for Chapter 11 Protection - ENECO, one of the oldest LENR-related firms, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 18. The firm’s focus is now primarily on thermal to electric conversion devices. Harold “Lew” Brown said that funding challenges were a significant factor that led to the filing. They are still in operation. (New Energy Times; March 10, 2008)

Key Characteristics
According to http://www.eneco.com/co_about.html
Energy density efficiencies far in excess of all other available technologies.
Its energy density (a measure of power production for a given weight or size) is 5 times better than current lithium-ion-batteries and 2-4 times better than future micro fuel cell capabilities projected for 2010.
Reduced weight and size to fit with the new portable power needs of consumer electronics.
Semiconductor technology that allows for efficient manufacturing, high reliability, long life, and low maintenance.
Ability to convert waste heat economically and directly into electric power without moving parts to wear or make noise.
Readily scaleable from very small to very large applications without losing efficiency or cost effectiveness.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Isn’t there already a city in Sweden that is using its own garbage to manufacture its own electricity? It’s supposed to be pretty much independent and have extremely low electric rates, hence petroleum products are needed only to run vehicles.
The article states the old problem in enefficiency, then never mentions it again. It makes believe that the new and improved didn't make that much of a difference in the real problem.
