Energy Game Wild Cards

There are some breakthroughs being touted that are getting a lot of interest. Cold Fusion is getting attention again, along with solar concentrator arrays and EEStor capacitor technology. Israel is prominently mentioned in terms of contribution to the first two, Kleiner Perkins is believed to be invested in the later two. Who knows when EEStor “permitivity” will translate into a tested product that can be produced and that can economically be taken to market.

These are beyond the realm of making near term projections or allocating major government resources, but at the same time they have potentially huge ramifications:
1) clean energy technology at near market rates
2) energy storage with quick in and out capabilities, high reliability, long cycle life and great economics overall

There have been dozens of brilliant teams who thought they were making a glimmer of progress on cold fusion, then the subject went, er,
“cold”. Now a few of the faithful have stirred developments and there appears to be a follow on ripple of progress in the cold fusion topic, stay tuned.
