FD, overall very positive call. The only reservation I have, is this gut feeling, that the company still sounds more like an R&D company vs. a commercial one. It seems to me that they are moving too slowly, perhaps too cautiously to commercializing the KARNO generator. If it's as good as they say it is, why aren't they commercializing it faster. The demand for the product I'm sure is high, considering the government subsidies, the environment benefits, the higher efficiencies and lower operational costs, the lower maintenance costs, the low noise, etc., etc. Why are they moving so slowly to commercialize it? Why did GE gave this technology away?
