I've come up against a very similar problem in a project I have spent years developing. I need $6Million to go through the next step. I was even steered toward a source. The source wants physical ownership. I will get to run it. It's on hold for now. I may decide to give it away before all is said and done. If I have to lose years of work, I'll be the one to decide who I lose it too. As those on this board recently have learned, I have another "home- sized" project in mind. This may be the wave of the future in energy. Small, either home-based or local community-based, facilities. We need to keep government bureaucrats out of small business enterprises. I'll drop out of this topic for now. We all may be forced to get involved politically before much longer. Motie ------------------------ Yahoo!
