The problem is, and has been for decades, the costing, Spirit Warrior. People want this type of energy but the reliability and efficiency has always been overstated and is frankly way off the mark even now. Big business would be all over this like a rash if there was even a sniff of long term success but the truth is that until the cost of proven reliable coal powered central grid type power systems increases vastly then unfortunately it is a no go situation. ...... Unless there have been massive breakthrough's in technology that I have missed in the last year or so.
