Without using any recent mathematical trickery. ;-) As Mr. Carrell initially pointed out, there is a new claim of an energy production "breakthrough" listed out at the Blacklight Power web site. The new process involves the recycling of a solid catalyst. "Recent" is perhaps incorrect as I would assume BLP has clandestinely been working on this process for, oh, I would imagine over a year, and probably a lot longer. Perhaps BLP has finally stumbled across the right combination of secret incantations.
The web site claims the amount of energy released is more than sufficient to simultaneously sustain two key elements: (1) The ability to heat traditional boilers such as those belonging to power plants, and (2) of particular interest to us (as well I would imagine it might be to certain BLP critics), the ability to regenerate the catalyst using processes that presumably involve conventional and well understood chemistry. This is what has been implied. I gather it's always been that confounded regenerative step that has prevented BLP from coming up with an effective path towards commercial application. BLP has tried so many different approaches over the years that no doubt they have lost many a cheerleader due to an extended version of ADD. But hey! In six or seven years of personally watching BLP, and I've noticed that my own attention span has occasionally wandered! Continuing my personal speculations, I would suspect that most of BLP's investors really don't give a rats #ss what the BLP Web site's has to say on the subject, particularly if they signed NDAs, and as such, are privy to what's really going on down in Baron Von Mills' secret laboratory. Perhaps some are even amused. Assuming they really are convinced, they would likely believe that the turkey they helped buy many years ago will eventually come out of the oven. More stuffin'n'gravy for them. In the meantime, we in the peanut gallery can only do what we have been trained to do: Speculate, dream, fret, and squabble amongst each other. ...at least until that damned turkey is placed on the table. Shoot! I'm hungry and I just ran out of peanuts, again. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.Zazzle.com/orionworks
