The Clean Energy Project

Post by UBT - Rick Horn »

WCG has just rolled out another project, The Clean Energy Project.
It is trying to make a new generation of solar cells using organic molecules.

WUs are around  8 to 18 hours.

Minimum quorum is 2, initial replication 2.

Edit: phase 1 is likely to end before the end of this year.

Sounds like my sort of project - we've just had an initial meeting with a supplier to discuss installation of solar panels next year!

I'll give some WUs a go and see how they perform.

I've just got a couple of these.

I notice that the quorum is 2. Makes a change for WCG! Might be a problem though for validation as the 'return time' is 20 days. If your wingman detaches or stops you'll have to wait that long for the resend.

Phase 1 of CEP will close shortly, probably in September.
There will be a phase 2, but there are no indications as to when this might start at the moment.
Stay tuned.
