Any one else disappointed that Google wasn't convinced of the viability of polywell? Of course they are not a power company but they have invested in solar technology. They could easily fund EMC2, even a demo plant.

It is curious. Project 10^100 is still undecided though.

Not even a little surprised. Meeting probably went something like this:
Google Employee #1: "So, who understood that presentation?"
[crickets]
GE#1: "Come on, anyone?"
GE#2: "...um, kind of. I mean, I sort of follow what he's talking about. A little."
GE#1: "So, what do you think? Is it viable?"
GE#2: "Hell if I know."
GE#1: "Okay, moving on..."
Might be more interest now that Nebel's team has verified the WB effect is real. As Rick said, we don't know of any reason why it won't work, but that's far from saying it will.
