  • On EESAT and Energy Storage Opportunities on the Smart Grid [View article]
    How soon will ZBB run out of cash? Reminds me of the dot-com no-revenues-but-great-... bargains. ;)

    I just don't see investing in any energy related company that is not currently making a profit. I'll leave that to the VCs.

    If you wait for a brown-out to start doing something about it, you'll have guaranteed blackouts before you solve the problem.

  • Alternative Energy Storage: Cheap Will Beat Cool [View article]
    Great article!

    I have been an Apple fan since 1979 having been an Apple reseller and a Macintosh developer. I wouldn't touch a Windoze machine. But when it comes to buying Mac, I tend to buy the low end products. I'm writing this on an iBook G4 with the now obsolete PPC chip.

    An OS is not quite a commodity. There is a lot of personal investment in learning the use of an interface. This is why a technology to be disruptive must be ten times cheaper than the technology being disrupted according to Clayton Christensen. But energy is essentially fungible so expensive makes no sense except for very special uses like maybe a Mars orbiter.
