re: #458 BBev

Did you by chance work other states governments say Massachusetts?

No, National Renewable Energy Lab is federal, set up by (big groan here from Lizards) Jimmah Carter, 31 years ago. It’s the ONLY lab in the DOE system that is actually dedicated to energy and not military projects.

And they research alternative energy sources, have about a thousand employees, managed by Midwest Industries out of Kansas. About 200 support personal and the rest of the 1000 are scientists.

Yes, they have actually made a lot of progress in the science. Now, and the research is passed along basically free to industry. Of course, big problem is certain industries don’t want the technology, it would get in the way of their big oil friends.
