I keep reading about the latest technological breakthrough which will help solve our energy and environmental problems, but they always seem to be just around the corner. Only it always seems to be the next corner, not the one we're at right now. Two examples come to mind: The Nanosolar corporation's process to make cheap solar panels (http://www.nanosolar.com /)and the Hydrogen Technology Applications, Inc.(http://www.hytechapps.com /)process to get energy from water. Will we ever see these breakthroughs, are we getting chain yanked or is it the corporate conspiracy keeping us from progress?
