Mythbusing in the Renewables Industry

I want to thank the authors of the GreenEnergyBlog for providing the extremely valuable service of mythbusting in the renewables industry. Like many of us, I come across many outrageous claims each week, tantamount to perpetual motion machines and other obvious violations of the basic laws of physics. I routinely speak or write to the “inventors,” only to find — surprise! — they need investor funding to get their idea to the point of a working model. Sorry, no such funding will be coming from me.
