O.K Rossi says he will star to deliver domestic E-cats in September or after it. The 1,000,000 Ecats will be very cheap because robots will make them. The factory is in Florida - perhaps somebody has seen it? Or is it hidden? If it is/will be the result of something called *investment *then the things seem to be a bit more complicated. The worldwide consume of such generators - as heaters and for retrofitting all the cars and trucks is around 1000,000,000 pieces; it will be rather difficult to practice dumping and competicide with this unique factory. Except if competition is formed by retarded individuals, unable to solve the problems. Once upon a time there was an invincible E-cat...
