Good analysis, Jones however I would add this: - the cell shows that 2 problems are solved- i*ntensity* and * reproducibility*however what remains is *scale up*. A la prima vista it seems that the 1 MW demo will be an assembly of say, 125 cells working together. I hope not...I am an engineer and I don't like the idea
If you look carefully to Mills's papers he was more focused on scale-up Let's wait the two macro demonstrations - Rossi's and BLP's they will be in the same time, almost. Interesting times..
