    Chevron is setting up a test site on west coast.

      Any method of energy production that is "clean" is to be applauded. However, this will not remove the need for major power generators. Nuclear fusion is the only realistic (and safe) avenue for the world to go down. Shame that Govt's are to corrupt to finance the required research......

              Can't wait to see what the environmental wackos do. It'll endanger something. The project will be tied up for years over some possibly endangered species.
