"I want to be part of a force that is driving the adoption of emerging technologies that allow for world-wide independence from fossil fuel technologies that contribute to global warming and general decimation of the planet. I want to make the world a better place for my children and their children and I believe the only way we will obtain this goal is to develop technologies that are environmentally friendly. There is a great push in this direction currently. However, much of the work in this area is based on hype to generate short term media attention and there is a need to clearly articulate the true benefits of a technology versus the hype surrounding it. I currently consult for a capital investment company interested in investing in such technologies and I help them understand the potential of the technologies from a scientific as well as business perspective." -- Scott Cumberland (Sept. 14, 2007)
