And Finally, Maybe, Just Maybe, Somebody Should Look Into This: BlackLight Power, Inc., the controversial Cranbury, NJ company founded by medical doctor Randell Mills, said in a late-May release it has successfully tested a new source of energy and power system that produces 50,000 watts of thermal power on demand in a prototype system. It is apparently based on Mills’ belief that hydrogen can exist at a lower energy state than its “ground” state and that this energy differential can be exploited (H&FCL May 97), a notion widely discredited by mainstream scientists. “If you can make cheap heat, you can make cheap electricity, and if you can make cheap electricity, you can make cheap hydrogen,” Mills said in the release. Shelby Brewer, a nuclear engineer, ABB Combustion Engineering CEO and a Reagan-era assistant secretary of energy and BlackLight board member, was quoted as saying, “in my nearly 50 years in and around the energy business, I’ve yet to see a breakthrough as promising as this one.” He said development of the process was supported entirely by private capital. Michael Jordan, also a BlackLight board member and former CEO of Westinghouse, said this development “will go down as one of the most important advances in the field of energy in the last 50 years.” BlackLight has released a documentation at www.blacklightpower.com/ explaining the process and listing published papers, including a sizeablenumber of articles in the “International Journal of Hydrogen.”
