Gary I agree completely, the whole reason to be in this stock is the DF-144! Once again in the Washington Post it is covering the MTBE story and how it effects the drinking water supply. Headline:Troubled Waters in the Hills of Virginia. John Zorgorski an Enviromental Scientist is quoted as saying "MTBE is particularly troublesome to scientist's because it doesn't stick to soil, it moves readily into the ground water and does not separate from water and because it doesn't biodegrade, it can persist for years. Other interesting fact to note: This is affecting the Building Industry. New housing which planned on a fresh water supply from wells being drilled are in jeopardy due to high level of MTBE found upon the testing of these wells. Developers will be cautious about buying land to subdivide when the water below will require extensive testing and might be contaminated. One gallon of gasoline will produce levels of MTBE as high as those found in Round hill of 94 parts per billion,which were almost as high as those found in Santa Monica. This as we all know prompted them to truck in water and shut down wells. Fisher is shock, but we cannot control people, people will do many things to screw up. This is one of the most moronic friggin things I have ever witnesses barr none, BUT we need to keep our eyes on the target and the target is the MTBE problem. As we wait for John to get this problem under control, try writing letters to local newspapers, your local congressmen,local representatives and whom ever comes to mind. We have the product LET people know, send letters out to these folks who are writing the articles let them know about DF-144.
