Is it true that the Mouch heirs are running an LLC called "Your Man in Washington: Insiders for Hire"?

I almost responded that way, but figured db to take the "someone with expertise in the electric utility industry" path rather than the grant-wrangling path.

He retired a long time ago, but never wrangled "grants",. He preferred the Mulligan approach. Try one of the Mouch heirs.

Maybe interested. A couple do some grants. If you or your client explain a little more about the idea, I can point you to some of them, or I can give you names, and you can cold call them.

Good luck Dale - I hope you can find someone. Tom

Do you think any of them are interested in this area and good at getting grants

Not me then. I do know a couple of professors in this area at Georgia Tech, Univ. Of Wisc, Madison and NCState.

Thanks Really they need an insider.

I've worked in Power Generation and Distribution for 25 years. I'm not in the commercial utility space though.

Oh where is Nikola Tesla, when you need him?

Saving $1B/year is an insignificant dent in an industry whose sales are on the order of $660M/day.

You have to break it down into clear $/$ ratios to attract investor interest. Simply stating a total money savings, makes for interesting click-bait, but it also raises the level of disbelief a full notch before the page loads.

That said: I've made my career finishing projects other people have started and allowed to run late and go over budget. Gimme a shout today and i can save you a ton of aggravation; or you can wait and enjoy chewing on nails. ;^)

well, Snezzy, Db and I have been in here from almost the beginning. Dale is EE, MS Physics and an attorney, so unless you have any specific claim to make-

Also have seen altogether too many people who had faith that their enthusiasm about Ayn Rand and John Galt would protect them from rather obvious aspects of engineering, economics, ethics, and pharmacology.

also, I just want to add. You know us here. we would never flight a fancy on you. A is A

hey Snezzy, Dale is a physicist so no worries here. This is test proven and fairly straightforward. Unions will not like it. so there's that

When I read things like this I worry about the physics involved.

A friend who was a truck driver approached me years ago with his plan to run an entire semi-tractor rig on the electricity from a 5 kw gas-electric generator. Rather than argue with him, I told him, "Put your plan in writing and I'll look at it." Result? Nothing.

A big rig's engine might be making 560 hp, which is over 400 kw. He was off the mark by a factor of 80, but he was hoping I would fund his crazy project.

He still needs transmission lines, which is what this is about.

Rumor has it that he invented a motor based on atmospheric electricity somewhere up in Wisconsin.

Who is John Galt?

You might want to contact someone named John Galt.

I have a colleague who has worked at a utility consulting firm for the past 6 years and at least 10 years before that developing products used by electric utilities. I do not know if he's good at grants, but I've seen him workout a profitable partnership between a small company a large company in the industrial automation sector. PM me if I can help make a connection.

Hi Dale,
I'll PM you.
