If I wanted to gum up the works for LPP, I would rely on time tested methods. I don’t want to get too specific (you never know who is reading this), but if I have already figured this out, so could the vested interests,.

If the DPF can become a successful electrical generator — many ifs there — we would be in for a war on many fronts, and we would be wise to consider our moves now. For example: perhaps the U.S. would not be the best choice for introducing a device which generates electricity at 1/10 the present cost. Perhaps better would be a country with chronic budget problems and a hydrocarbon defficiency. Some momentum, a reliability record, and demand could be built up before taking on North America.
