It's interesting stuff. I worry about AMSC hype, but there is some really interesting science going on...

Maybe you guys can save us the trouble of building nuclear power plants.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, motors account for 70% of all energy consumed by the domestic manufacturing sector and use over 55% of the total electric energy generated in this country. Large electric motors, those greater than 1000 horsepower, consume over 25% of the total generated electric energy. With some minor exceptions, nearly all cruise ships today are being built with electrical propulsion, and many other types of commercial vessels and warships are now also adopting marine motors as their primary source of motive power.
