VENTURE BEAT - "SUNRGI Claims Bargain-Basement Power Prices From New Solar Concentrator Design"

(April-29-2008) - When looking at next-generation renewable technologies, you'll hear a lot of claims about how cheaply they can create electricity. Usually the figures hover around 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, which is about low enough to compete with the mix of coal, oil and nuclear power most utilities use. No such small ambitions, for a new startup called Sunrgi, which is unveiling its technology today at the National Energy Global Forum.
