Tom, Why should this information be such a shock to you. As you well know, to get a government grant, you "have to know somebody in the government". This is true of gasification, medical research, solar energy......you name it. We suffer from the fact that "we (small scale researchers) don't know anybody". There's no surprise here for me.
