This posting seems to be a response to a bunch of skepticism about them that has surfaced recently. MIT Technology Review published an article about them that contained several critical perspectives, including:
> “It’s laughable,” says Eric McFarland, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “It’s the tech bubble again,” he added later. “People are putting money into lots of things that ultimately won’t ever work, and this is one of them.”
And it points out that the CEO (and submitter here) has a history of making predictions that have not come true, such as saying in 2018 that they would be able to undercut gasoline on price in 2019.
I really hope they are able to do what they say they can do but I won't be at all surprised if they fail.
