I suspect that the knee jerk response to that rhetorical question would be, "They're just starting to. Look at the Eaton deal." But why not much sooner ..... with the kinds of savings and environmental advantages as advertised?"

I've wondered the same thing, but it appears to me that the strategy has changed from trying to get the lasers IN the manufacturing plant to using them IN HOUSE. The former is a MUCH bigger challenge as there are way more obstacles to overcome--proof of concept, requirement of manufacturer to write it up, get it past unions, get it accepted, and then find NEW funds for it to replace already existing systems. The latter is much easier--just replace already existing vendors. They are buying the end PARTS, not the LASER machine or processin in house. This MAY explain the long delays and why now we might see some actual progress as opposed to before. I'm not sure I buy this argument actually --- any other thoughts here?

The other issues are very important and I have lost much faith. In fact one of the most concerning things to me were the two 100 million warrants given to officer/directors and exercised last year. That's $2 million twice! Very inappropriate IMO for a company that has yet to meet promises and even show that their product is viable commercially. Anyone have thoughts on this?
