Enex is a Melbourne-based laboratory founded in 1989 as part of RMIT University that claims to have "grown into a commercial testing facility unparalleled anywhere in the world."

The question many are asking is whether it will do so in real world situations. Given the level of scepticism and criticism that the proposal has engendered it seems surprising that, if these performance claims really have been independently verified, Coonan has not made more of the test results.{moscomment} |
