Hehe, still grasping at straws Mr Rowe, hehe

You have been breathing too much CO I think, GLE's fuel cell system does not emit CO, it uses it as fuel....in any event, here is a reply to your stockhouse post should you miss it there

Mr Rowe, welcome
I just noticed you posted these post on the GLE SI thread, yet you claim to be a shareholder, hehe, you and Rossi out to meet, you have alot in common

Message 12882869

seems like your switching teams is more due to the fact
that you got out of ballard before the recent run up....too
bad you didnt have the staying power
i wonder if i have the will to stick with gle having bought
it in anticipation of the tse 300 run up.....it doesnt seem
to have happened yet.....but im hoping it will....can you
believe it i am actually down money on a stock.....wow
well its only gle so even if i lose all the money i put in
i really dont care

just waiting...waiting .... waiting to sell sell sell

but its still gasoline....so in the end what do you have??
pollution

the only real reason to go to fuel cells is to ELIMINATE
POLLUTION


Well, if your knocking GLE saying the SOFC does not help pollution then why do you say you bought GLE then? I think we could do without you as a shareholder quite easily. Also, while you are at it, you better sell your Ballard stock if you are concerned with ELIMINATING pollution, you see Mr. Rowe, PEMs running off of reformed hydrogen are NO LONGER CONSIDERED ZERO EMISSION. As I stated to you on the SI thread, and again here now, time to do your homework on fuels, fuel processors, and emissions, in fact I believe I even directed you to a couple of websites for that, I guess you didnt have enough time to do the homework.

As for your comment about me trying to convince a PR guy I assume you are talking about my phone call to plug power today. You said

i like the part where you try to convince the
pr guy that gle is the better company...lol


Actually, in my call today to Plug Power I never once mentioned GLE, I even purposely stuttered for the term solid oxide fuel cell, bascically I wanted him to try to reassure me (someone he thought was a plug power investor) that I had invested in the right fuel cell company and technology. I as a GLE shareholder wanted to put myself in the shoes of a Plug shareholder and pose the question to the Company, I wanted to see how Plug would assure me of its technology, I wanted to hear what Plug had to say were the advantages of their PEM based system.....what I got back was something that I never expected at all. The thing that stunned me the MOST was the fact that the guy made ABSOLUTELY NO ATTEMPT to reinforce Plugs PEM technology and work. He immediately launched into this speech how Plug will be the first to make 1 million resedentail fuel cell systems and I shouldnt assume they would necessarily be PEMs. Take that for whatever you think it is worth Mr Rowe, it is still a response I find very shocking.

You also said
its almost as funny as the part where you hope
that gle will be aquired or a jv might occur..lol

Of course I hope GLE will be aquired (for the right price ONLY) or a joint venture occurs (with the right partner of course, what is wrong with that? You mean to tell me you can sit there and say you are a GLE shareholder now and you wouldnt want this to happen? Why dont you just take your money out of your wallet and burn it then???? Your making absolutely no sense here buddy!

You also said
but the funniest part of all is the answer by the
pr guy that plug will drop its pems in favour
of sofcs....if of course it is determined they
are better.....lol....can you imagine that
lol.....thats just too funny...at the drop of a
hat plug will come running for gle's product...
apparently 1 million of them a year......do you
really believe such a scenario is possible or are
you just getting nervous cause the price is not
going up


You will notice if you go back to my post you will see that the guy never mentioned solid oxide fuel cells....go back to what I said, youll notice in his quote it does not say SOFCs, he mentioned that I shouldnt assume that the 1 million cells Plug hoped to manufacture would be PEMs, nowhere did I write it would be SOFCs, however, he did make that point in a conversation that was about SOFCs.

Like I said in my earlier post, and I think I put it in Capitals,

"Now before anyone makes ANY assumptions from this post I will say PLEASE DON'T."

I will say this however here and now
NEITHER PLUG POWER OR BALLARD POWER WILL EVER BE THE LEADER IN RESIDENTIAL CO-GENERATION IN THE FUTURE IF THEY DECIDE TO USE THE PEMFC TO ACHEIVE IT

I will also predict that Plug Power will aquire other fuel cell technology to try to take the dominant residential fuel cell position of the future. To me, the most logical choice and if you have spent absolutely any time reading various industry reports include some of those from X ballard power employees is the SOFC. GLE stands to benefit if they do whether Plug hooks up with GLE, buys them out, or even aquires SOFC technology from elsewhere. Did I say Plug would buy GLE? No Sir, I did not, nor have I ever. Did I speculate that they possibly could? Yes, I have. Did I caution others not to make any assumptions just yet? Yes, I have.

Phone Sprott Securities and ask Eric Sprott whether GE Capital approached GLE through Sprott just before the last financing to take an equity position in GLE, while your at it, maybe ask Eric while you have him on the phone why Sprott seems to be trying to keep GLE from going up, and also, going down too far (not that I really care either, its costing Sprott alot to stunt GLE's market cap, it almost makes me, and others think that there is a pretty good chance Sprott could be holding GLE down for a buyout) There are those out there who think a buyout could happen before the next major news, personally, I will remain neutral on that point, I wont really mind if it did happen, however its not enough for me to change my investment strategy in GLE, buy and hold, buy more and hold.

Plug investment or no Plug investment, buyout or no buyout I could care less in the end. Good days are coming, with or without Plug Power, with or without Ballard Power. If I were you, your time would be better spent worrying about reformers poisoning Ballards cells than my interest in GLE.

Stop acting like a hormonally charged lesbian with penis envy and grow up!!

All the best to you once again Mr Rowe.
Best regards
Your Friend
