CIA Investing in Modular Green Energy
Paladin144 writes "The CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, has announced a strategic development agreement with SkyBuilt Power Inc. The CIA seems to be interested in SkyBuilt's new Mobile Power Station, which can be parachuted into remote locations and be up and running in a few hours with only 2 people needed to set it up. The MPS harnesses both solar and wind power and is capable of up to 150 kilowatts of electricity. The devices uses off-the-shelf components and easily swappable parts to be cost-effective."
Is that similar to the free radical energy reverse-engineered from the spacecraft that crashed at Roswell?
Now all they need to figure out is how to get this solar/wind power working underwater and our sharks (dolphins?) really will have freakin' lasers! Wait...

I hope the CIA can use this green energy to help overthrow governments of oil-rich countries. Here we come, Venezuela!
Modular green energy is made out of people!! PEEEEEOPPPPLLLLLLLEEEE!!!
I don't get it. Why does the energy have to be green? Why can't it be orange energy with purple stripes?
This sig is neither interesting, nor humorous. Including meta-humor.
Is it soylent green energy? Is it made from people?
that I could walk into Home Depot and pick up the things required to build one of these suckers or do you mean easy for the CIA to procure? What secrets does the CIA have in finding someone to help you at Home Depot?
when they ban enctryption only criminals wi$21*J *#JF$%!@#$':
hell, if it takes 2 people to set it up, I assume it takes 4 to carry that sucker down the street while fleeing the scene you looted it from. Imagine how many ghetto blasters this thing will power.

God is everything science has yet to explain.
Protecting the environment while you are electro-torturing terrorists for information at the same time. That's how the CIA butters up Democrats and Republicans during the budget hearings. A little something for both, green and mean.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
I was being sarcastic..the CIA can't operate inside the USA anyhow.
Well, TFA says that each one is packed inside of a standard sized shipping container
This is a big item, but falls into what the military/aid agencies can call 'portable'. You, however, won't be taking this to the cottage next year.
Lost at C:>. Found at C.
It works like this:
- Two agents get dropped into Iran and set up this generator.
- The generator doesn't create 150 kilowatts right away!
- The turbine+solar power operates a drill and hose contraption that burrows straight into the ground, and a suction pump at ground level.
- The drill hits oil, the pump sucks it out through the hose and into a tank.
- NOW the generator produces 150 kilowatts.
What's the value of this, you ask? Easy:
- US Secretary of State presents aerial photos of these generators to the UN, mistakenly labelled mobile nuke plants (oops, that crazy Bolton and his antics).
- PROFIT!!! (for Halliburton, of course)
What?! Then who killed Kennedy?!
Want to find other gamers to play board and role playing game
"The devices uses off-the-shelf components and easily swappable parts to be cost-effective." Ddunno about you guys but the gov't\cia being involved in something that is easy and cost afective sounds too good to be true.
