Bloom has been working on its energy storage technology for eight years, raising $400 million in venture capital from a string of heavyweight investors including, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. VentureBeat reports<\/a> that Bloom was Kleiner Perkins’s first cleantech investment.<\/p>\n

The PR rollout for the Bloom Box\u00a0started Sunday with a segment on 60 minutes, which we’ve posted below the fold. Correspondent Lesley Stahl best described the technology as “a little power plant in a box.”<\/p>\n

According to GreenTechMedia<\/a> Bloom customers testing the energy storage devise include eBay, Google, Lockheed, Wal-Mart, Staples and the CIA.\u00a0 Backlog and sales are in the $2 billion range, the news site reports.<\/p>\n

One Bloom Box can provide enough electricity to power 100 U.S. homes and retails for up to $800,000.\u00a0 Bloom says it hopes it can, in the next five to 10 years,\u00a0manufacture a box for individual homes that retails for $3,000.<\/p>\n
