Really good site, Del. Big, Viable Markets.
Let's see as wide as a football field and 1 1/2 times as long. That 515 ft time 203 feet in diameter. At a $10 per square foot that equate to $1 million or more ( the solar panels could cover 1 1/2 to 2 times the diameter) for solar panels. Most likely this will be enough to launch our own 25 megawatt facility. Most likely the substrate will either be Kapton or the 0.5 mil stainless sheet. Remember that the only reason United Solar hadn't moved to the thinner much cheaper substrate was the fact that it was a special order for the steel company? Now with about 250 of these space stations to be built that brings our total of work at roughly $250,000,000 As they say in the circus that's not peanuts!

On this site I also read that Alexander Haig the former U.S.
Secratery General is the C.E.O. and that all the permits to use these frequencies have been approved. The first installation is in the year 2002. At the speed U.S. solar gets up to speed we better get rolling.

When I went to Best Buy to purchase my new CD RW drive. I noticed that mini-discs from Sony and Sanyo were offered for sale. If this technology catches on like tape recorders did the companies will be selling hundreds of media per recording unit. If they become as ubiquitous as tape machines it is really big money. As I passed through the checkouts my eyes were arrested by the rechargeable battery display a few feet away. Thinking they might be the competitor's inferior offerings I was about to sneer and walk away. When there to my eye the letters NiMH did appear. Made in Mexico for Eveready. 2200 mah for the rather light feeling D cells (75 gm vs. 50gm for the 1100 mah AA NiMH size and 145 gm for the D cell alkaline batteries). 1200 mah for the AA NiMH Everready cells. A four pack of AA cost $12.99 2 packs of C's or D's were $9.99. AAA's and
9 volt's were available.

Hey I am beginning to like Best Buy better and better all the time!
