Well, only one of the prime early proponents of Mills was an 'ideal fit' for immediate use (proximity, need, resources, the whole enchilada) and that company is/was his local NJ Utility (power supplier) called AEI or Atlantic Energy Inc.... ...not a huge company like Duke, but in the billion dollar range, and certainly with dozens of competent engineers on the staff. BLP stated that AEI had measured a measured a COP of 100x in a calorimetry test 15 years ago, yet there is no prototype and no mention of it to AEI stockholders, no mention on the AEI site and no response from several inquiries which I have sent to former and present executives of the company. ZIP, nada, zero. This could mean that they either abandoned it, or are going ahead in total secrecy - which public utilities do at their own substantial risk, since ratepayers, not stockholders, pay most of that kind of bill. BTW - this is still one of the (best) positive results cited by BLP as being an "independent replications" of anomalous energy, even though no clear details were ever published by anyone; And AEI has consistently refused comment. Even if the anomaly was 2x instead of 100x why would AEI, a public company- and moreover with a subsidiary that provides heat-only ! to some areas like Atlantic City- give up on it, and instead burden the ratepayers with using very expensive oil for heat? (they also gave up on coal). That kind of failure can have severe repercussions, if it turns out that they did not cover their collective .... Anyway - What a missed opportunity! if the BLP system works as claimed, that AEI did not pursue it vigorously a decade ag. They could and *should* be sued by angry ratepayers if the BLP's claim is correct (the 100x OU) as the rates of AEI are some of the highest in the country. However, presently, since there are no apparent working prototypes from companies like AEI, who have an immediate commercial interest and are located only minutes away from the BLP facility - it appears to this unbiased observer that we are back to the energy corollary of the Fermi Paradox... which is really just another way of saying "where's the beef ?" Just one of the many reasons that many former optimists and supporters of the Mills/BLP technology have turned pessimistic, if not antagonistic... ... despite some of them (me at least) believing that the hydrino reaction is real (in the sense that redundant ground states of hydrogen exist) and that the spectroscopy experiments are correct ... ...but for me, the best answer for everything is that the reaction is instantly reversible outside an enormous gravity field. The only stable hydrino, then, would then be at very high shrinkage (solar variety) and would be difficult to manufacture on earth. That may or may not be why, in an earlier post that Terry suggests that Mills so-called "solid fuel" was derived from the oceans. Most of you thought it was not a serious observation. Maybe he has some inside-info ;-) That need for a certain kind of hydrino, if it exists, would also seem to fit present circumstances - IF there was an actual prototype being demonstrated. However, this also presents a huge problem with IP for Mills. If there are real prototypes which need solar hydrinos as catalysts, that factoid may be why Mills does not want to let the secret out of the bag yet - since anyone can mine the oceans - royalty free - for this particular species -- but more troubling for BLP is that it also makes specific claims, which are still on the website, out to be deliberate falsehoods (or as Hilary sez: "I mispoke" ;-) Mills has a habit of mispeaking, and IMHO this problem, combined with this secrecy and giant ego, make him untrustworthy. Jones Still - like Terry, I want to believe that he is mining ocean solar hydrinos ... and that this is the key bit of new progress ... especially since that particular suggestion, and concept AFAIK appeared first here on Vortex, and many years ago, and cannot be patented by BLP unless they intend to ignore the past public disclosure.
