Yes, and sooo much time had passed since then. I've been an EVM shareholder for at least a decade now. They are making slow but steady progress, and have had their share of obstacles. But as opposed to SWET, EVM is the real deal IMO. If any solar chimney/tower gets built even, I'm betting it's Enviromission's.
Personally, I think SWET is a scam. Not the physics (necessarily), but the business plan, financing, and basically the entire outfit. (Edit: if not outright 'scam' then perhaps just a pipe dream not to be taken seriously).
