Sure! You never know. They have the money, that's certain. It would be great if they were investing because then they would not oppose it. I do not worry that they might monopolize it or suppress it. History shows that in most cases, established industry players do not pioneer radically new technology. They usually stick to the old version, and are driven out of business. But not always! See my book, chapter 7. Also, didn't Rossi say something about a significant contribution of > his proceeds to a cure for cancer in children? > Yup, he did. He said that is his motivation. That's what drives him. You would think that solving the energy crisis would be motivation enough for an altruist, but for some reason he is focused on pediatric cancer. Whatever floats his boat is fine with me. As long as he does not decide to do a disappearing act, and take the technology to his grave, as so many have done before. I don't know what it is about lone inventors but they sometimes get the notion that Mankind Does Not Deserve the fruit of their genius, so they keep it a secret. In nearly every case, what they have is worthless so it does not matter. - Jed
