David - any comments on this ? The Haglestein Kucherov work on improving thermoelctric conversion using semiconductor diodes -

web.mit.edu

18-20% heat energy to electricity at 275 degrees C. Stick on a catalytic converter, use teh waste heat to help charge the car battery and drop the generator load.

I brieifly met Peter Haglestein a number of years ago. Very bright. He's the theory guy.

Solar for hydrogen - Great for OZ, Arizona, and Texas.... but if it's cloudy and at high latitudes, how do you recover capital cost ? What interest rate would you need to make this work ?
(Yeah, I know, borrow from Japan at 0.1 %)
