Fraudulent Renewable Energy Business Plans Always Make Me Wonder: Who's The LiAR, and Who's the "LiEE?"

A gentleman from Columbia writes:

I was referred to you by Mr Gustavo Rojas from AFD Colombia….CENTRAL ELECTRICA will be the first utility-scale power plant implementing the groundbreaking ECS-SOLAR technology (solar with mechanical induction). With a total of 19.9-megawatts of installed capacity, the grid connected power plant will generate clean and renewable energy to feed the Colombian power grid in South America providing a source of power that addresses energy security and climate change…..(business plan here). 

When I receive stuff like this, I always assume that I’m dealing with an innocent mistake, but, candidly, someone somewhere is engaged in some sort of fraud.  I wrote:

I’m sorry to tell you this, my friend, but someone is pulling your leg.    The technology described here does not exist; it’s technobabble.   I happen to know enough science to understand that, but even if I didn’t, it claims a 95% capacity factor.  Think about that for a minute.  At the minimum, it would call for the sun to shine 22.5 hours a day.  I know you guys get a lot of sun down there, but doesn’t that sound like a stretch?
