About use of renewable energy sources: It always starts and finishes with the leadership. We have the leaders we deserve - we had elected. And current leaders prefer to spend $trillions in bloody wars all over the planet, than to spend them for better cause at home.

What are these clowns playing at. Sack that lot and get some overseas engineers in, find some that are lean and mean and don't pay them if they don't deliver. Get your act together. It should be up in the 90's by now and not need all that sterling engine rubbish. Costs a fortune. More electrons per photon, thats it. Not a steam engine nailed to a load of mirrors. Also need to put a stop to the Mickey Mouse claims of others that don't use available light to grid as the measure. Some take the percentage of light converted actually on the chip and come up with 43% and call it concentrated. The fact you had to use 1000 times the area to collect the light is kept quiet. Complete joke. We're up to our eyes in utter nonsence like carbon credits and the Kyoto greenwash brigade because of these clowns. Any longer and this place will run out of energy for a couple of billion of us. That means half the planet dead because there's not enough cheap food using low energy farming.
