From the article:
Quote:
... The iconoclastic inventor, who made his first fortune developing medical devices, has spent more than $40 million creating Stirling engines that can tap almost any fuel source, from restaurant grease to cow dung. He wants to equip the City with one, extending its range by hundreds of miles...

... when it's connected to the City, his Stirling engine will meet indoor air-quality standards...
Remember that this is the technology that Dean has been developing to bring power and clean water to remote villages. I think it is a perfect fit.
