Dear Allan, You wrote: >Is the ENER advantage so obscure that it cannot be explained in a few plain sentences? You are clearly not an idiot. Here is my most succinct paraph. ENER is a 40 year old company with 300 domestic and 800+ corresponding foreign patents in key and controlling areas of intellectual property with respect to energy conversion devices (the generic descriptor)and information storage technologies. Basically, you have a 40 year old, debt free "startup" with $100 million in the bank and a host of JV partnerss of international stature. If the post-Texaco information re the ORFC is correct, the ORFC is 50% more efficient that a PEM. That's my two paragraphs. If you'd like to email me jay@gorge.net I have some other information I could send your way. Regards, Jay Reynolds

Allen, In short Energy Conversion Devices has good stuff. Perhaps things look confusing to newbies because there is so much good stuff. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH for short), for instance, are quickly replacing NiCads, the ones with the memory problems, in the consumer rechargeable battery market. ECD has most of the major battery companies under license. Then there's the solar, regenerative fuel cell, hydrogen storage, rewritable DVD and CD disks, and non-volatile memory for computers. We think that our fuel cell is better than Ballard's, and that's all that they have. We got all of the other stuff. You decide if the charts tell the whole story. Del
