There is now tremendous interest in demoing micro-grids for US domestic and military use. GE politically and positionally would be a very logical candidate to utilize a working 1MW steam generator in one of the already planned micro-grid demonstrations. A working 1MW unit could be plugged into the demonstration with little engineering risk, giving GE a very large head start on market share for the US market.Timing right now favors such a demo, because there is enormous pressure on the current administration to address the poor economy - so this scenario favors large political as well as large monetary interests.
