Learn 3 - Bloom Energy - a revolution in energy prodcution
A quiet little start up... operating for four years in total secrecy...founded by some of the largest venture capital firms in the world... operating capital of 400 million dollars ... founded by a former NASA scientist who worked on Mars missions....
Another waste of money in a world obsessed with high tech solutions that seem to always fall short or could it be a real solution to our energy problems and an end to the fossil fuel era...
On February 24 2010 the word found out ...
"Sunnyvale, CA - February 24, 2010— Bloom Energy Corporation, a Silicon Valley-based
company committed to changing the way people generate and consume energy, announced
today the availability of the Bloom Energy Server™, a patented solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)
technology that provides a cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable alternative to both today’s
electric grid as well as traditional renewable energy sources. The Bloom Energy Server provides
distributed power generation, allowing customers to efficiently create their own electricity onsite.
The company introduced its groundbreaking technology at an event hosted today at eBay Inc.
headquarters along with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, General Colin Powell, and
several of its early customers.
Built using abundant and affordable materials, Bloom’s fuel cell technology is fundamentally
different from the legacy “hydrogen” fuel cells most people are familiar with. The Bloom Energy
Server is distinct in four primary ways: it uses lower cost materials, provides unmatched efficiency
in converting fuel to electricity, has the ability to run on a wide range of renewable or traditional
fuels, and is more easily deployed and maintained.
Unlike traditional renewable energy technologies, like solar and wind, which are intermittent,
Bloom’s technology can provide renewable power 24/7.
Each Bloom Energy Server provides 100 kilowatts (kW) of power in roughly the footprint of a
parking space. Each system generates enough power to meet the needs of approximately 100
average U.S. homes or a small office building. For more power, customers simply deploy multiple
Energy Servers side by side. The modular architecture allows customers to start small and “pay as they grow."
In addition the founders stated goal is to make home size units with a price point of 3K dollars US. A affordable, renewable and (can be) clean way to generate power. One that can address the industrial nations power problems and cut back on climate change gas's as well.
Currently test cases with some of the biggest companies are ongoing and proving that this system works.... check out there website... watch the video and the 60 minutes report...read the press releases...
this could change our world and may help save it...

i am optimistic that something good will come out of this eventually. I trust the ac**en of venture
thanks Kevin for sharing with us this excellent post. +1 for knowledge share.
capitalists that have deployed so much money into this project. the fact that a NASA scientist has been working on it for last four years makes it credible. but perhaps one thing that I think makes this project quite interesting is the fact that the project is shrouded in secrecy. that is a fair indication that it has excellent commercial prospects and hence so much of secrecy around it. well, this enterprise makes sense to me. let's hope for the best.

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
