i know this is a little late but wanted to say something anyway. As maco joe said above, we should be all for it if they do it right. honestly, i dont trust these people to do it right so i have kept quiet about promoting it. i went to portsmouth abbey and hung around a lot at the site during its construction. now we watch as it works to pay itself off. sitting there for an hour saying "we just made 5 dollars" is pretty cool. the fact is that machine will power up to 80% of the school and cut down our costs but would be a raindrop in the ocean for any signifigant public need. when you start putting 140 machines together is when the progress is visible, but the private ownership once again kills it. they need it off shore and public, period.
