Hey Rip Van Winkle. It was in the 60s that EMC was patented. It's in
the public domain now, anybody can do it. In 1986 the NREL patented EMC
for PV MC SoG Si, but that's expired too, and anybody can do it.

Japan is doing it at Sumitomo. See their website.

Germany is doing it at Seimens. Too bad you slept through it all.

China has the NREL webpages on EMC posted on one of their National
Laboratories websites. Too bad you're not as smart as a chinaman, eh?

However, it is the process of pursuing PV,
hydrogen and electrocatalytic solutions, that will ultimately save our
pathetic asses. Noboby in their right minds thinks that everything will
be switched over to PV - H2 anytime soon,

ONE PV farm 0.8 acres in size will generate the 36KWs needed to run one
EMC furnace. It takes 32 regular days to get enough sunlight to produce
another 0.8 acres of PV crystal ingots for waferstock. Economic payback
comes at 80 days.

2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2=4096. One year of doubling capacity produces
4096 PV energy farms of 0.8 acreas each (every 32 days it doubles).
That's 17 gigawatts on four square miles of desert land or even midwest
farmland.

The whole transition to H2-PV will be finished in 10 years, dolt.
