Hm.

Oh wait - they did. And their ideas were dismissed.

And here we are, deja vu all over again.

it needs years of development before it can used en masse. it didn't help that some of these companies went bankrupt, ie: solindra. we all can't expect to live off the power until it becomes capable of handing millions, the infrastructure simply isn't there yet. and we cant use wind because there were issues with the turbines killing birds, as well as being unsightly-nobody wants it in their back yard. i feel you, but we have to walk before we can run
