Exceptional post, Charles. Quantitative has meaning to me. Thanks for doing the math. Great posts lately from everyone, even the perpetually testy, Ron who, when by a logical projection into the future(a stretch) or compelling financial commitments, is keeping the faith for the long run. It looks very bleak at this point; the processor shut down, the only significantly viable order is sinched by a refundable deposit from a foreign client whose purchase plans are contingent upon his gov't's. approval (Who's our ambassador to Turkey? Who's our ambassador to Texas?), the price of crude is $15 and change, the company is pressed for money and, Bo is still expecting us to believe he's really going to buy a processor. Despite all this, at some point in time, the price of oil will increase to some range higher than $25 and then there will be serious consideration offered for a processor; even a worn out 250 or 400 gph machine. At some point there will be no more oil. At that point, there will be no need for a grno machine. But, by that time the patents will have expired and grno will still be grno with something to replace the processor. It's not just about recycling used motor oil. It's about finding new innovative means for energy replacement and production. By taking an energy source and changing its form without waste is the vision and still doesn't violate Newton's law. Wait until those machines come out that will attract, absorb and store the electrical energy from lightning. It'll happen.
