Interesting that there are about 5000 patents which have been
sequestered by Uncle Sam.... most probably relate to arms and
explosives... but...
Wonder how many of them related to energy? Notice that DoE puts in
about 3-4 orders in some years - now, just what kind of invention could
be seen as a national "threat" by DoE ????
