A local startup, Eestor, has been generating a news buzz lately. The question is whether or not it’s warranted.

Wired picked up this AP story today and I found mention of the company’s patent in posts going back over the past year or so, including this Engadget post and a post on an energy blog, Clean Break. Both the AP article and the comments on Clean Break mention a healthy dose of skepticism about the company’s product and the company itself is very tight lipped. The comments on those two posts alone are educational.
