Imagine every house in ANY Australian city having Bluegens emitting massive amounts of heat, in brick and concrete dwellings, on a 40c day with nary a tree to bee seen(read as cooling).Phew! And of course you and everyone else have the aircon cranking, so when you walk outside, it's just freakin HOT!

REF: Heat Island Effect( http://www.epa.gov/hiri/)

Conversely...high heat in the coldest places on Earth =?...ice melting quicker?....exactly where Solid Oxide Fuel Cells are at their most efficient, as are waste energy scavenging devices(TEG's), which operate on the principle of temperature differential(like your Engel Fridge).

TEG's have the ability to exploit temperature differentials in both directions, they create a voltage if it is colder or warmer than ambient.

It has been said that the energy contained in 1 full bath of hot water could power your home for 1 year...but how do you harness that?

HINT: its made of carbon and absorbs light and starts with G

Advanced Coating Technologies...eg:Spray on Batteries, Extremely thin Displays, 250x faster than anything we have now..(Any Silicone Chip readers in here?)
Super fast, extremely small' very efficient transistor technology. One atom thick.

Graphene may be the closest thing to the Holy Grail.

Star Trek aint a fantasy..hec!..we even have plasmonic waves( if u go to the above URL). Beam me up Scotty!

Time, product to market, in realistic applicable terms..2 years.
All Aboard!...Teleporters well.. will probably have to wait a biiit lonnnger yet :)
