gg, I believe the really important info in the press release is buried in the text. The key text is: "VRB Power is also pleased to announce that assembly of its small cell stacks for initial orders and field trial units commenced in early January 2006 in its new, turnkey Richmond, BC facility. Commissioning of the Company's first in-house acceptance testing station is currently underway and the facility is scheduled to be fully operational by the end of February, 2006. At that time, VRB Power will cease testing its cell stacks at the BC Research Institute and all aspects of its assembly and final testing process will be consolidated in the new Richmond facility. Tim Hennessy said, "As we increase production capacity throughout 2006 we will add additional acceptance testing stations. We currently estimate ultimate capacity per shift at the Richmond facility to be approximately 2,500 five kilowatt cell stacks and approximately 300 fifty kilowatt cell stacks per year. We anticipate reaching this capacity during 2007."" VRB now has a production capability. They are REAL and not just a promoter of an idea. I know at least two potential users that may now be motivated to look at their product carefully and, it is my view, that, when they do look objectively, they will be major buyers. It is ideal for back-up power applications in Telecom. And Telecom is a large enough market by itself to make VRB Power a major success story. Larry
