As to whether that's eco-friendly or not, who knows! Mike, from what I’ve heard, there’s nothing to stop you attaching it up to a river and disapating the heat that way. As to whether that’s eco-friendly or not, who knows!

I'll believe in this thing when I see it. It's amazing you can take a 3 phase power hungry, heat generating box that requires water cooling and call it eco-friendly. Personally... I think they should have added a flat iron top to it for cooking pizzas/eggs/bacon. That way the Red Cross could feed the people they're helping in those pictures ;) I heard those blackboxes require a 60 ton water chiller… I’ll believe in this thing when I see it.
