Yup, I'm going to start me a big-dollar venture capital firm to COPY EDIT C/NET. C'mon doesn't anyone read this stuff before it gets posted? Sure, it's an interesting story, but as my old editor told me when I was getting started a couple of decades back, "how can they trust your reporting if you don't get the spelling and grammar right?"

I've actually written for you guys and I know you can do better.

You need to be more specific with your criticism. What are you referencing in the article?

Dream on!!. Two wishes: (1) to get paid to report the hundred of emerging technologies that are decades out to be commercial, which only requires to research and recycle the thousands of such reports on the Internet. (2) to get somebody to pay for my latest invention to create energy from thin air. Now on a serious note, when we can have a discussion on real solutions that have immediate impact on our daily living and reduces the dependency on fossil fuels? When we can talk about the proper regulatory and policy environment to support a sustainable and growing renewable energy sector? Or we will look on what the government is willing to subsidize and/or venture capitalist interested on invest? I have been working on renewable since the 90s, before it was fashionable, and the list of these potential "killer Solution" and start-ups was already a long dream line. Much of them are still at the same state of evolution today, i.e. no commercial ready. It is time to get real.
