The mineral is a key part of a Santa Monica firm's proposed alternative energy project in the desert. The technology was proved workable in a pilot project near Barstow in the 1990s.

AT least they are attempting to do something other than fossil fuels or bio-diesel. I give Kudo's to those putting a foot forward realizing we HAVE to find cleaner, possibly renewable sources of energy. The only problem I see now, is so much of this research should have been started years and years ago. We have waited until we are on the brink of so much pollution, water contamination, soil that is wearing out, and more, along with being too darned dependent on foreign oil. It needs to be to the place we do not need ANY foreign oil, and in fact no oil at all. Time to move forth into the future..where gas, etc. are a thing of the past.

i was going to say "COOL!", but i guess it would be, "HOT!"...then i'd sound like paris hilton! i've heard so many people say that solar just isn't practical on a large scale...like the solar we have today is it and can't be improved upon. how silly! if more companies and individuals would invest money, time, and efforts into more worthwhile things for the future, we wouldn't be screwing ourselves so much. how does one invest in things like this? there are a few environmental investment mutual fund companies.
