Yes, agreed. I am always glad to have a heads-up on a potential, even when a few years out. Cheap high field strength magnets would be big for alt energy future.
And, btw, Ames has done some crack-up fine work over the decades. I see gov waste as it is, but also I have seen how competitive it is to get research support awarded - that is, one has to have some good results to date to get funding to speed it. Yes, a lot of dollars do not result in payback, a lot do but in only imperfectly measurable ways - but that is a drop in the bucket compared to the transfusions wasted in recent years attempting to keep the financial sector afloat, trying to keep the fruits of free enterprise from fruiting (or rotting in this case).
Ok, back off the soapbox now, another 2 cents spent.
