What has no one mentioned the new contract ECD has? 7 megawatts of solar power for the U.S. army based in Ohau It was in a press release last week. They sent me an e-mail on it. That is more than a quarter of their current production. What I am thinking is that there might be follow up orders. I can almost imagine that ECD could dedicate there current machinery solely to power U.S. bases for years to come. I also thought that it would be ideal power to supply bases in foreign lands as there would not be the enormous shipping costs or pollution from on site generation. I can also imagine that it would be ideal power for emergency response teams running water treatment equipment and the like. I wonder if the top of a flattop (aircraft carrier was covered with solar panels whether it would continue to generate well year after year.

Allen, wireless Yes, airship No... The Globetel announcement is for a wireless communication system for Monterrey in Mexico but there is no mention of using airship based communications. I think it is just land-based wireless...another ho hum announcement served up with great fanfare by GTE's feverishly busy PR department. Lockheed, with funds officially awarded to build out the HAA prototype, is now free to announce subcontractors at any time. I hope Unisolar is still at the top of their PV list. I wonder if Lockheed's PR dept is as large as GTE's?<g> Regards, Al
