It's hard to know if TRBDF is way ahead of itself or not. I'm waiting for it's first quarterly report (american style) to see. I figure the market will bring the price into line after that. A PE of 10 -20 (forward) is not unreasonable. Regards, Dave

Gerald, This may be why Ralphs supermarket chain is trying the turbopak. 04/29/98 - Grocery Firms Sued Over Diesel-Truck Emissions Sacramento - Four of California's largest grocery store chains have been sued by the state attorney general for allegedly creating excessive cancer risks for residents living near supermarket distribution centers, reports the Los Angeles Times. Diesel-powered trucks from the centers - often located near residential areas - reportedly cause residents to breathe 15 times more diesel exhaust than the average Los Angeles citizen, which multiplies the cancer threat by 10 to 100 times. The suits by California Attorney General Dan Lungren, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Coalition for Clean Air and the Environmental Law Council are designed to spur the fleets to convert to cleaner-burning fuels such as natural gas. Named in the suit are five facilities operated by Vons, Ralphs, Lucky Stores and Stater Bros. in Southern California and San Leandro in Northern California. Recently, a state panel declared diesel exhaust carcinogenic (News Notes 4/23/98); those findings are mirrored by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency draft report (NNs 4/10/98).

Gerald, maybe Turbodyne could contact the other companies in the law suite and supply all of the companies with the turbopak as a solution to the problem and possibly get the suite dismissed. What do you think? I'll call the company on monday, they probably already know about this but just in case i'll bring it to their attention. Here is another interesting article. By the way the term AFV below stands for alternative fuel vehicle. 04/10/98 - Japan's Truckers Call for Unified AFV Incentives Japan - The Japan Trucking Association (JTA) is calling for Japan's Ministry of Transport to come up with a unified system throughout Japan to provide incentives for the use of low-emission or alternative-fueled vehicles (AFVs), reports Nihon Keizai Shimbun. Various local governments already offer AFV incentives. JTA officials are also calling for the ministry to assist in the installation of more AFV-refueling stations nationwide. Along with the smog-forming emissions produced, Japan's land-transport industry reportedly contributes about 24 percent of the country's emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to global warming. How about selling some turbopaks in japan!
