This is why.

Martin Open-Sourced this via his blog and via emails to many world governments and corporations, like Shell.
Fortunately, response has been sluggish, but that's changing.
The problem is, we Open-Sourced it, and there's many out there who want it exclusively for themselves.
That's not going to happen.
We Open-Sourced it for a very good reason;
Humanity.
ALL of it.
The Species.
By Open-Sourcing, we're not making a single penny off it until we build a few powerplants ourselves and earn our money for ourselves rather than profiting from Licenses and such.
You can talk until you're bluefaced to people about 'finding a better way'.
We've decided to just SHOW Humanity there is one. We're planning construction of a small 5 to 10 Mw 'Demo' facility here in Alberta. Small to begin with, then we can expand it off it's own income.
It will NOT be taking a single cent from Feed-In-Tariffs.
Altruistic?
Well, if you were in a position to do something like this, and try to make a change in the ongoing environmental degradation of our planet while either being a parent or wanting to become one some day...
You'd do the same thing, right?
This about cleaner air, sustainable energy supply, and because of the vastly reduced operational costs, it means power companies can charge less and still have much greater profits with this system than with Coal, Gas, or Nuclear and pass significant savings on to consumers while demonstrating a committment to environmental practicality.
NO one has to 'lose' with this system.
Less expensive power means lower manufacturing costs, which means jobs because more people are buying things as they're spending less on power. They'll be working at building and maintaining these powerplants, so it creates jobs directly while also creating hobs in the companies that supply all the components and materials.
Basic economics, that's all.
Writing-wise, my sci-fi series has found an avid readership, so I'm busy with that, but soon enough I'm sure the bug will bite and I'll do some more work on my story here when the brain clicks' over to it again.
...and I also have a ferret in my blouse, again. :D
Welcome my little world. :D
