<OT> Maurice:"How many cycles can your Valence battery go through? My rainfall will last for a million years. How expensive is your Valence battery? My rain is free, the recycled plastic tank free, the electrodes long-lasting cheap non-corroding metal, the recycled plastic hydrogen tank free [though the pressure relief valve would cost 10c]. All maintenance free, and cheap." Well, it's a good idea.. But, Imagine here in Southern California where Rainfall is few and far between.. You wake up one morning to the sound of a Bulldozer heading towards your front door!! "What the He!! is going on? " You ask the Bulldozer operator... Well, we are installing a new "neighborhood utility wireless metering system, and it requires that we install this 5,000 gallon 're-cycled' Kiwi colored water tank to run the Fuel Cell's photovoltaic panel. Gotta store all the rain water every chance we get! And your house has to go, to make way for the new Hyper-Space.. Er... Water Tank.. "What do you mean, you know nothing about this.. Look!! The plans have been on display at your local planning office...." Well, you know the rest of the story!! Hey!! Maybe if everyone just had their power meters on a WLAN system.. The "Trash Collection Agency" could just download the data as they did their weekly pick-up.. Wireless can simplify alot of things.. But, trash collection is not one of them!! Valence claims their "top secret" Phosphate #3. (now in the lab) is providing 4,000 (four thousand) cycles!! With energy densities around 250% greater than their current phosphate.. And, when you are done with the battery.. You can disassemble it and .."sprikle it on your Vegetable Garden" to quote Lev, who was then, the Pres./CEO, and now Chariman of the Board...They just hired an executive from Dell as CEO.. The change had been in the plans for over a year, Lev is a scientist, not a business man.. PCSTEL
