IMO, Bloom is likely to go the way of NanoSolar.  They came on the scene with big promises and then got bogged down in the dirty and expensive business of materials technology development.  Each new private round is supposed to provide the needed capital to turn the corner to the reliable and low cost box fuel cell / co-gen unit that they promised from the start. 

What they are trying to do is very hard.  If they could really pull it off it would be a very good thing even though it is still consuming NG.  But, I suspect that the fast money VC money behind Bloom is getting impatient.  If they cannot manage an IPO in the next 24 months, I think it will get parted out for the patent portfolio to the other multinationals who have been working on SOX fuel cells for decades.

Is the Bloom Energy only for the government and corporate elitists?  What have I missed?

Yes, at this time the Bloom Energy is only for the government and corporate elitists!  Below is a quote as found on the residential contact request form on Bloomenergy's website.  I guess I missed the fact that the Bloom Box current power output is far more than the individual home needs and is best suited for large commercial and industrial scale applications.

Unfortunately, the current power output of a Bloom Box is far more than the individual home needs. Today's product is best suited for large commercial and industrial scale applications.
