On the subject of Innovation - did you see 60 minutes last Sunday about Bloom Energy?

Very interesting segment about a new Fuel Cell Technology, developed by a company called Bloom Energy - They were provided a little venture capital ($400 million), and have been working on the project in secret for 10 years.

If you missed it, below is the Link to the CBS 60 minutes showing the 15 minute segment.

In the show, Leslie Stall talks with Michael Kanellos, of Green Tech Media about the invention. On his website, he has more info about Bloom.

Today they are holding a press conference, to release info about the company. I see that Fox News has it on their site now.

I should say, that I am posting this as a matter of interest only. I do not have any connection the company.
