The Venue was eBay’s California headquarters. The company is among the first few customers of Bloom Energy, which makes the device. The governor of California and former Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger praised the Bloom Box using lavish phrases and said that he was impressed after knowing the features of the device. His view was echoed by the representatives of companies like Google, eBay, Coca-Cola etc who were there to attend the event. This clean energy producing device will make the polluting and environmentally hazardous means of energy production out of vogue in the coming days.

New York City’s Mayor also attended the event and he was equally impressed with the Bloom Box. The USP of the Bloom Box is that it can be renewed and the chances of environmental pollution from the device are minimal. The person who founded the company, K.R.

The advantage of the device is that it supplies power uninterrupted.
