It really gets me the close minded banter on this thread. Why don't you research a subject before giving cynical replies? Here is the real skinny on BlackLight Power: 1. it is independently verified, 2. it has working scale models, 3. it is already fully funded, so isn't looking for any new investors, and 4. their board of directors would never allow any company they were associated with make false claims:
In a joint statement, Dr. K.V. Ramanujachary, Rowan University Meritorious Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Dr. Amos Mugweru, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, and Dr. Peter Jansson P.E., Associate Professor of Engineering said, "In independent tests conducted over the past three months involving 10 solid fuels made by us from commercially-available chemicals, our team of engineering and chemistry professors, staff, and students at Rowan University has independently and consistently generated energy in excesses ranging from 1.2 times to 6.5 times the maximum theoretical heat available through known chemical reactions."
BlackLight's physics-defying promise: Cheap power from water - Jul. 2, 2008
“The working models in his lab generate 50 kilowatts of electricity - enough to power six or seven houses. But these, Mills says, can be scaled to drive a large, electric power plant. The inventor claims this electricity will cost less than 2 cents per kilowatt-hour, which compares to a national average of 8.9 cents…The business, Mills says, has attracted $60 million in funding from wealthy individuals, investment firms, and utilities such as Delaware's Conectiv, and it is no longer seeking money. BlackLight's board of directors reads like a Who's Who of finance and energy leaders, including Michael Jordan, former CEO of both Electronic Data Systems (EDS, Fortune 500) and Westinghouse; Neil Moskowitz, CFO of Credit Suisse First Boston; and Shelby Brewer, former CEO of ABB (ABB) Combustion Engineering Nuclear Power.”
Watch this 2 and a half minute long CNN report of BlackLight Power last December:
OK, now you see the energy technology is independently verified, there are working models using the energy technology, they don't even need any further investment, and their board of directors have a lot to lose if their company is making false claims. Heck, I even threw in a 2 and a half minute video of a CNN report. What will it take for you to accept that BlackLight has discovered a new primary form of energy production??
What if Blacklight Power works in 2009 ?
