Summary: BloomEnergy is making big splashes this week.
You see one post and you let it go. You see two and you think about it. You see multiple posts, links, 60 Minutes and other stuff and it deserves mention.
Energy is huge and creating energy more efficiently and from sources that are not so reliant on foreign fuel sources is no little matter.
Energy makes the world go round and I can think of no better thing to bring the economies of the world back to boom status than inventions and breakthroughs with energy generation.
No sane person believes that just one thing will do it. Multiple attempts on different fronts:
will all play a role.
This blog is about a venture called BloomEnergy and I couldn't do it better justice than the 60 Minutes piece from the other day.
Also read about it here on TechCrunch.
Not saying it is the end all, be all but like I said, when you hear about it more than once from different fronts it usually is worth paying attention. And when John Doerr is involved (Kleiner Perkins), you pay double attention (funded some little companies like Google).

I had no business in Chem 102....the first time or the second time.
What am I missing here? http://www.bloomenergy.com/products/solid-oxide-fuel-cell-animation/
Are there any other inputs other than fuel? Heat. Where does that come from? Are there any other products other than electricity, h2o, and co2?

Any idea what the overall efficiency for this process is relative to gas turbines or gas-fired boilers coupled to turbine-generators?
