Maybe you could turn down the “curmudgeon” knob a little and turn up the “nice helpful guy” knob a little. “We’re all doing what we can.”
Looks to me like she has the same article linked already and the article has the pictures you like better in it.
Also, once again I disagree, a 22% increase in efficiency IS a “breakthrough”. Maybe is will, and maybe it won’t, translate into cost effective production, but a 22% improvement is very significant. Can you imagine if this was a 22% increase in automotive fuel efficiency? ..or NG power plant efficiency? The work breakthrough would probably be used.

Imperial’s press release by Simon Levey, from which Tina presumably got the Lego image, is a model of its kind – lucid, eye-catching with the toy metaphor, clearly illustrated, and not over-hyped. Here: www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/newssummary/news_18-10-2013-12-9-7

Tina should have linked to it rather than the jourmal article, which is incomprehensible to the general CleanTechnica reader.
