Small investors best not risk a dime offshore outside of a major mutual fund. Large accredited investors or money managers for corporations best understand what they are doing to America's economy when they send dollars offshore. The US has numerous breakthroughs in energy technology hunkered down in home garages. The oil industry has turned to mafia tactics to maintain their turf. It was only a year ago a close friend had guns shoved in his face with life and family threatened just for what he was EXPERIMENTING on. He didn't even have anything working yet.

No university has come up with anything of substance for years, again because oil dominates academic funding. The Chinese military is involved in ALL internal technology, so who are you really helping with any investment there?
Oil is archaic technology now held up by gang tactic force, not value, and it is only the small inventors who are getting stuff Tesla worked on a hundred years ago to work now.
