John Doerr On Bloom Energy Launch: “This Is Like The Google IPO”
- pedalpete 17y agoWhat does TC mean by 'One potentially disruptive feature of the technology is that it works both ways: fuel can produce electricity, but it can also go the other way so that electricity produces fuel.'??? How can it produce fuel from energy? What format would that 'fuel' be in?
- MaysonL 17y agoFeed CO2 and water + electricity, get back fuel + O2.
- MaysonL 17y agoI don't see how the numbers add up: this thing saves a nickel a KWH, max. A 100KW box costs $750K, according to the article. 24365$5.00 = 43800. So how does it pay for itself in 3-5 years? Something is off, there. It's possible that TC fouled up - that the $750K price is for the 400KW unit that Google and Walmart are using, in which case the saving of $170K/yr would about work out.
