With the price of energy impacting just about everything we buy, the world is crying for a solution.

BlackLight Power Inc. is the inventor of a paradigm-shifting new primary energy source and a new field of hydrogen chemistry with broad commercial applications. The Blacklight Process is a novel way of creating new types of energy states from Hydrogen that if successfully commercialized, could literally solve the energy crisis.

Of course there’s a lot of territory to cover from lab to commercial application but its good to know that the possibility exists to change the limited energy paradigm into one of abundance and on May 28, 2008, Blacklight introduced a 50,000 watt prototype.

Enjoy this radio interview with Dr. Randy Mills of Blacklight Power, Inc.

NPN will follow the progress of Blacklight and you can too by visiting their website where you’ll also find an excellent video introduction.
