Where Is My Bloom Energy Server?

MarkE, watch the videos in the OP.  He says, the bloom box isn't too get rid of the grid, but to replace it by having utility companies sell the energy to it's customers.  Delmarva Power, PG&E, and Washington Gas are already using bloomenergy servers and selling the energy to it's customers (homes and small businesses).  So, how is this not going to get rid of the grid, if they have plans to put the boxes in the back yard of individual homes and small businesses, etc?

Their "so-called plans" in offering the boxes to individual home owners is nothing more than to pacify the general public.  The dumbed-downed enslaved people of the government and corporate elitists are once again being bamboozled and hoodwinked by this corrupted system of things.

I never said that Bloom Boxes would diminish the influence of the power utilities.  I have discussed the technical problems and internal finances of Bloom Energy.

Investor owned utilities are not going away without a huge fight.  Investor owned utilities are also moving into the rooftop solar business.  Back to the Bloom Box: Even if the Bloom Box costs got down to the point where they were economical for individual homeowners the investor owned utilities would still be piping in the natural gas.  The corruption problems recently unearthed between senior officials of the Cal PUC and PG&E speak to the problems of concentrating a lot of money in the hands of a few without adequate oversight.

The fuel can be produced and/or stored on-site instead of receiving it from the utility companies.   By doing this, then it will destroy their monopoly.  You're absolutely correct, they're not going to give up their strangle hold without a fight.

That might be possible in some circumstances like a dairy farm or a landfill.  The feedstock and water needed are just not there in urban environments.
