Hi Alan
In fact, I'd say we probably agree more than we disagree,
and likely much more.
I'm sure of that. :-)

Why not? Much of the technology we have today came about simply because
someone decided to pursue a technical challenge, and it wound up turning
into a product.

Well, actually, since the whole process is intended to be solar powered,
energy negativity isn't as important.

Alan,
At a time when some are considering capturing CO2 and storing it
somewhere (carbon sequestration), it would be nice if it could be converted
into something useful. With increasing demand coupled with decreasing
supplies of liquid fuel, it would be doubly nice if the captured CO2

pursuing it. this project is being funded for no reason other than to
get yet more taxpayer dollars to a gigantic corporation whose primary
product is death, so that it can explore a method which, if marketed
correctly, might prop
I agree with Thomas and Alan. Whatever else Sandia is into (and they
are a national laboratory so they have done a lot of defense work) the
investigations of alternative energy have been worth while. The solar
power device based on a sterling engine is proving to be more efficient
than
