That is what I am talking about. The government will fund new technologies so long as they believe they are "groundbreaking". Natcore would seem to qualify but no one else in the solar cell industry is talking about them.I believe the company made a mistake in taking on a Chinese partner. I have read a number of articles where Natcore said they had requested funding years ago but were rebuffed and had to look elsewhere for support. I think the government is slapping them in the face in awarding funding to competitors that do not have foreign connections. I think its time to look into some form of funding that will expedite their technology into a viable commercial product. If Natcore doesn't get off their butt and push their products into the marketplace they will end up on the outside looking in on the solar cell boom.
