Just received an email on a new innovative energy device that could blow solar & wind out of the running for green energy, and maybe even nuclear?
...seems a surreal! (and it's not even April fool's yet...)

Definitely worth a look if you're into this stuff like I am!
if you like that then check out www.cfcl.com.au/
a company that came from the csiro, also listed on the asx:cfu if your really keen 
.
also this system uses the heat of the cells reaction to heat water as well as produce the electricity
its just a fuel cell with a fancy name? so its basically internal combustion but a bit more efficient.... hardly "green" or renewable, well depending on what you run it on anyway.
also should be mentioned... current fossil fuel power stations get pretty close to the bloom boxes claimed efficiency levels.
its not a silver bullet, but it has potential. end of the day, it's only ever going to be a temporary solution.
Interesting...so with all the hype surrounding it, maybe it should've been called the iBox
Didn't realise it was backed by the founder of Google, that explains alot.
