Jones— I think your recent “connecting the dots” regarding Toyota’s plans to market a hydrogen powered car makes good sense.
A LENR back fit in 3 years for the fuel cells seems possible. The hydrogen is a good substitute ploy to ge a head start on the production run. All other auto companies, except Tesla, seem to be way behind getting to an LENR source of energy for autos and all transportation modes. I suspect that Toyota and Tesla already have their own reactors and will not depend upon Mills, Rossi or anyone else. For Toyota when they sponsored Ponds in France in the mid 90’s trade secrets were foremost. They lost Martin over this issue. To bad GE did not look to the future in the 1990’s. (They suffered the short term profit motive of the Jack Welsh era.) They are quickly going into a DARK, DARK time with little hope for gaining their senses IMHO. They will be bought out by an entity with good sense to make use of their technology infrastructure. The railroad industry will need a way to reduce costs when coal and oil transportation income is lost. A locomotive with a Toyota electrical source of power will fit right in. They may not replace the diesel electric units which are retained for their added weight, necessary for traction on steel rails. Toyota stock may be a good bet!!!!

Earlier I mentioned, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that the extraordinarily prescient Elon Musk could be the very person behind a restructuring of BLP - basically to buy out some early investors and provide for a future where accountability was less of a consideration, so to speak. <g> This speculation is fact-free. Anyway this proposition as a deal made in heaven, or Trump Tower, is making more and more sense, the deeper you look into what Randy has -- constrasted with what Elon needs... Think about it in terms of old tek: if the hydrino is a real entity (I think it is real in some form which may not correspond exactly to Mills) and if Mills can "harvest" this isomer as a charge transfer modality... then... voila, exactly as "America's Genius" had forecast 20 years ago, the species (hydrino-hydride) now better known as dense hydrogenm would be the ideal charge carrier in an advanced battery. BTW a crude valuation of this restructuring would probably be in the $ 200 million or so range - small by Silicon Valley standards so Elon would surely try to make it look like a $20 billion entity somehow... and who knows? The jokers who have tried to short Elon have lost their shirts so he can probably pull it off. Hi Robin, An alternative to your #2 below is a leveraged buyout of some kind but not involving a traded company or a sheik, etc. Mills probably wants to stay in charge and see this out, win or loose.Who can see him giving up an inch of control unless the Sun Cell is a total failure. It may be a failure but there may be something else which is seen as a successor. Anyway, there is little doubt that Mills has old investors who put up millions in several successive rounds of private investment back in the previous century (this can include the heirs of same) who want to get some value now. They expected to see a huge return long ago, based upon Mills hype, and have been disappointed over and over again. These investors will sell back early round stock at a discount = or else sue - in order to get some value out of it, sooner rather than later, allowing Mills to do a leveraged buyout of a sort, and go completely private and silent. The silence is to avoid legal repercussions and to avoid hurting his chances to obtain the backing of probably one investor. Heck maybe Elon is behind him now <g> or else Larry Page who needs more power for his soon to be released VTOL A good guess is that Mills is walking a tightrope in legal terms, having made claims which did not materialize and he could lose everything if he does not first satisfy the early investors and keep everything out of court.

[snip] Mills rolled up the email group. That may indicate several things:- 1) They have finally made a serious breakthrough that means they can go into production. or.. 2) They are planning on going public sometime soon, or both? or.. 3) The board told him to back off on the public comments, which could damage their IP. or .. 4) They have discovered a major flaw that implies that it will never work. I think there is too much evidence already for 4 to be a serious contender. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
