That's true Mr. Eric J we do see and hear many many innovative technologies which are claiming to change the way how we are now but every thing is at paper nothing is implemented nor changed, it's because of 1) They are no more people exist in this world who can invent and give it to the public at free of cost. 2) Investors are not interested in the model where people can buy once and get the the life time electricity because this may destroy their present & future profits. “Many of these so-called innovators have the wonderful devices that have no future plan for release into the market.” That’s true Mr. Eric J we do see and hear many many innovative technologies which are claiming to change the way how we are now but every thing is at paper nothing is implemented nor changed, it’s because of

I have started to publicly wonder why all these neat new solar innovations are still on the drawing boards and going nowhere. Many of these so-called innovators have the wonderful devices that have no future plan for release into the market. Gee guys, great stuff...keep "it" up. There has never been more venture capital, more incentives, more demand, and yet here we are remembering that the last innovation to hit the residential solar market appeared around the time the Go Go's released their second album. I am ready to give up on solar. if the industry is so dead set in keeping it's head where the sun don't shine, then maybe it's time to hear about bio-fuels and wind again. When the solar industry feels the public is worthy of delivering innovation, then maybe I will check back then. Holy COW where did you come from?!!

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.
