Howdy Mike,
This firm, Solargenix was owned by Duke Energy and now owned by a Spanish
consortium. They are marketing their electric power producing system across
the world and putting some very interesting contracts together. One of their
secrets is keeping the cost of operations low.. that means labor and
unattended stations. The Spanish have a goal to search out "stable and long
term revenue streams ( Ma Bell at it's finest)" Another example is the
Spanish entree into "toll roads". Cintra of Spain has made inroads both in
Canada and the USA. Masters at both politics and money management, these
Spanish consortiums are on the move. The world is awash in money searching
for investments.
GE was a world leader in these type financial strategies.. what happened to
GE?? This generation of GE leadership was taken over.
The scary part is that an entire financial seesaw can now "tilt" in a very
short period of time whereas it took the barons of Wall Street more than a
100 years to position the USA to lead the world of capital... Yet, suddenly,
In two presidential terms of office by Clinton and Bush.. Poof!
Leads me to think that LENR is a victim of indifference greater than
ignorance and opposition combined.

An eqitorial mount, where the rotation axis is parallel to the earth's axis
at the installation location, is a good start. However, as the seasons
progress, the sun's elevatiion changes, so the tracker must operated in
three axes. If you want to place the array on an arbitraily placed roof, it
gets more complicated. All can be solved and cheap computers can do the job,
but it does get complicated and is a non-neglible cost to the approach.
