About Us
“Energy is a very subtle concept. … It is very, very difficult to get right.”
Richard P. Feynman, physicist, Nobel Laureate “We will make electric light so cheap that only the rich
will be able to burn candles."
Thomas Edison, inventor, entrepreneur
Mark Mills, Hans Kobler, and Peter Huber formed Digital Power Capital in collaboration with Wexford Capital in early 2001. The idea, and the guiding principal of DPC, was to merge a strategic technology vision with six-sigma management and business metrics, and deep financial experience.
DPC focuses on leading-edge energy and power conversion technologies. The largest share and fastest growing aspect of spending on energy is in the hardware and technologies that convert raw fuel into heat, motion, electricity or more highly ordered energy forms (e.g., light, lasers, batteries, microprocessor power supplies, and photovoltaics).
The conceptual basis for digital power is explored in the book by Peter Huber and Mark Mills: The Bottomless Well: The Twilight of Fuel, the Virtue of Waste, and Why We Will Never Run Out of Energy (Basic Books 2005, paperback 2006). Additional historic background on the digital power paradigm can be found in the back issues of the monthly technology newsletter the Digital Power Report (DPR) authored by Huber and Mills. Publication of the DPR ceased in 2003, but a complete set of back issues is available covering topics from fuel cells and batteries, to semiconductor tools and power supplies.
Additional, and more recent, writing on technology-related subjects can be found at Tech-Pundit for Mark Mills and Peter Huber's Manhattan Institute page.
