I remember when they had a good technical reputation. What have we heard from them in the last several months?
-Put windmills by highways and generate an infinitesimal amount of power by the air wake of cars.
-Put springy things under sidewalks, and generate an infinitesimal amount of power by people walking across them.
-Now: Generate an infinitesimal amount of power by people riding stationary bikes connected to alternators.
I mean, these sound like "Monty Python Does Alternative Energy"
How about, ah, nuclear? Works great for France and Japan, and doesn't require people to do anything sillier than mine uranium. Just don't use Soviet contractors to build the fuckers.....
