Here's a REFR long who lists his email. Maybe you could contact him. Sounds like he's done the same due diligence as many longs have. messages.yahoo.com the marketplace. by: ed_wesnofske (59/M/Oneonta, NY) In 111252: <<SPD film is unwanted by the marketplace>> No one knows at this point how much the marketplace will accept SPD technology in the long run; as a risk taking investor I am placing a bet that it will gain large acceptance in the market. I say this because I have communicated with the owners of competitor technologies and products, to architechts, to officials, and to companies and entrepreneurs interested in this technology and become convinced of its commercial viability, improvability of the technology. The US government has spent over $100 million in sponsored research for a similar but more klutze Electrochromic technology. Every European government is investing in smart windows technology research. Are they doing it because there will be no interest in such a technology? New York State's energy needs for transportation and power is 85% supplied by Middle East oil. (The other 15% is hyrdro, natural gas, coal and nuclear). The wholesale panic about such an energy dependent condition has led to a realization that the cost of such energy includes the need to fight wars and terrorism to maintain an energy supply from that area of the world. New York agencies are now using experimental fuel cell vehicles and buses to change transportation energy markets. It PAYS people to save energy through various consumer programs. It is sponsoring wind electrical generating plants ('farms' as they are euphemistically called by the marketing people). In its most recent moves NY State is sponsoring a green building technology movement including looking for energy saving window systems. Some of these things will be installed on government buildings in retrofits. You will see more of this is in sunbelt states and countries around the world. The Government of Singapore is desperate for smart window technology because of its energy bills from airconditioning its major office buildings. You say there is no market for this technology? It flies in the face of the interests of large numbers of government entities around the world.
