Joe, a post from a global thinker from Raging Bull: By: BrianB_Aust Reply To #486 by stockprofessor Sunday, 4 Oct 1998, 5:33 PM EDT Post # of 624 In July 1998, a paper was written by Dr Charles B. Benham and Dennis L. Yakobson entitled "Optimization of Conversion of low hydrogen containing feedstocks using Rentech's Gas-To-Liquids (GTL) technology" A quote from the summary follows: "We believe that the proper implimentation of gas-to-liquids using iron-based F-T synthesis catalyst is a proper approach to MAXIMISE CARBON CONVERSION EFFICIENCY (my emphasis) and reduce carbon intensity resulting in a reduction in the amount of harmful carbon emmissions to the atmosphere". A few days ago I read an article on how, in the past thirty years, the environment has come under pressure from various sources including greenhouse gas emmissions. Global warming is becoming a serious problem. In a book called Billions and Billions, by the late Carl Sagan, he speculates as to what can happen if ambient temperatures rise by 1 or 2 percentage points. Rentech's management believes that their technology can be used in coal beneficiation processes to reduce greenhouse gas emmissions. If they are right, this is another reason why Rentech's is a strategically important technology. My advice is that we all stop focussing on the minute to minute movements in stock price. As I see it, Rentech's technology is a fulcrum around which significant macro forces are pivoting. This week's seminar is just another tiny milestone in the journey.(eom)
