The Alaskan writes: Big fanfare, big media equals big news and big news equals negotiating power. BAAT will use it to extract a hefty sum and they know it. The true question is not if the technology works; its who is going to pay the price BAAT is demanding. Big test, big headlines equals more money for shareholders at the licensing table. [snip] I wonder if it has occurred to anyone that BAAT is asking a serious price with royalties and minimum productions (protecting and rewarding long term investors). [snip] I welcome all comments to pick apart this logic and opinion. [end of excerpt] At biz.yahoo.com we read (from BAAT press release): \|B.A.T. International officials report that the new technology \|increases power as well as fuel efficiency. The technology does not \|require retooling for use with current engines and will result in \|little or no increase in engine cost. Kind of makes it sound like BAAT is going to give away their gizmo. ;) Doesn't quite fit with The Alaskan's hypothesis, IMO. Has anyone asked Joe to define what is meant by "little or no cost?" A relative told me about BAAT after buying it at 0.15. The battery aspect of the company sounds interesting, but this something for nothing fuel efficiency story scares me. I'd love for it to be true (hey, if cars get 100 mpg we could tax gasoline $4/gallon and slash all our other taxes!), but I have to ask: Can anyone provide a compelling explanation of how BAAT will get rich from this technology if it costs the automakers little or nothing? (Note: a one word answer like "volume" is not compelling.) Thanks, Paul
