But if Bloom can show that the system can scale, then there will be no
shortage of buyers - not just the big energy companies. If this tech can
replace the grid, then it will. Maybe the box will have another name on it
(either instead of Bloom or under the Bloom logo) but if this can work,
then it looks transformative.

Probably the biggest unknown is maintenance, if the BloomBox can run
over extended periods without maintenance then great, if no that lack of
centralisation could be the system's achilles heal. I suppose you can
imagine the units being cheap enough that you ALWAYS install them in
redundant pairs - and failed units "call for service".
