Bob, the thing is, these guys could take a product to market pretty easily (alibaba, amazon) and provide the infrastructure + sales + marketing required to pull it off. it's not like these peeps are the ones who are going to sit around and re-invent fire or something. seems more like they'll fund the energy revolution.
don't know what they are gonna fund though, etc. but hopefully we'll hear more soon. i don't really grok what Bill Gates has been doing re LENR, I mean, I heard something about him going to meet some LENR people worldwide, or something?
