New energy technology - potentially a game changer
 
http://www.suncatalytix.com/about.html

They have developed a catalyst which will allow water to be broken
apart into hydrogen and oxygen using solar energy. The hydrogen and
oxygen can be recombined in a fuel cell to produce electricity (proven
technology), stored for later consumption (potentially solving the
night time and cloudy day problem), or the hydrogen can be burned
immediately as fuel for a combustion engine.

They have an all star technology team and significant venture capital
funding. Let's hope they can get it to market in a reasonable time
and price.

I hope you and they are right. But of course, you know what will happen.
The Republican governors will sell the water rights in their states to
big corporations. :)

If you were a real conspiracy buff you'd predict that the big (evil)
energy companies will buy up the technology to keep it off the market.

I don't even fake being a conspiracy buff. If a new source of
inexpensive energy is found, though, it's a safe bet the energy
companies will make sure it isn't inexpensive.

sounds great to me, Wayne. will the technology allow for adaptation to
marine 6-71's?

Doubtful, very doubtful.

Those things are built like the proverbial brick sh*t house but
hydrogen is going to take some special engineering not yet available
in 1939. :-)

More correctly their web site says they are developing, not that they
have developed it.

Reminiscent of the same kind of snake-oil of the '70s. What ever
happened to gravity boy anyway?

There is no problem in separation of water into hydrogen and oxygen,
then burning it. Problem is as always, getting more energy out of the
process than goes in or even doing it economically for a partial return
that those without Bates, Rockefeller last names can afford. Next huge
problem is in storing and creating enough of it.

I will keep my oil sands and oil field investments.

Do I hear $2 litre for water? As a fuel, and for bankrupt states like
California and Illinois, they would welcome taxing it.

The biggest impediment to technological change is government. Imagine
if we in fact became super efficient at gasoline use, cut use by 90%.
Without all those taxes 2/3rd of the states would be instantly bankrupt.

Just finished reading on a new push to allow US states to declare
bankruptcy. California and Illinois being two states that are
considering it. Bailout the bankrupt cities then go bankrupt is the
deal. Certainly not the time to be buying municipal and state debt.

I am not sure there is a US or Canadian government bond I would rate
above junk status. Just buying gold or oil has a much better return
without the risk.

If this technology is realistically possible, build it yourself.

But it isn't real as in that it doesn't work yet --

Hey, for sky is the limit priced I will guarantee you energy for a home.

Buy some lithium stock. Think batteries. Have that too. Made off like
a bandit so far.

Currency stock is the one taking a bath. Oil didn't go up, the currency
stock (money) went down.
