Flywheels are mechanical chicken farms. The whole industry was a huge legal pyramid scheme. The only people that made any money were the venture capitalist.

It quickly went to about 60 a share. I should have sold then. It quickly dropped and dropped to about 3 bucks a share. I knew is was all smoke and mirrors.
How did they con 43 million out of the taxpayers?
If they could make energy out of the smoke and mirrors they have been using for over 10 years now we would have a surplus of energy
