Excellent point, Mike, especially if this is leading directly to generation of electrical power for sale, and is not some kind of strategic ploy.
But what is the New Mexico connection? i.e. are they simply "enchanted" with the alien technology... Please, Terry, do not mention Roswell ;-) Jones BTW - Roswell is apparently served by the Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative ________________________________ From: Mike Carrell <mi...@medleas.com> The two licenses are with rural cooperatives. On the surface this is odd and unimperessive. However, it has several advantages for BLP at the present stage. BLP would like to have water-fueld power units on line in a commercial setting in the near future. They don't need to grapple with the regulatory context of a public utility. These cooperatives are entrepreneural and make thier own rules to a large extent. They buy power from established utilities and distribute it to members of the cooperative. A first-generation BLP power unit of any significant capacity can be hooked into the local system at low risk and a decrease in the outside power bought. For BLP this brings invauable operating experience, including realistic measure of consumeables and reliability. It also aswers critics by demonstrating a real system operating 24/7. The cooperatives are essentially private, reporting to their members and not to the public or stockholders. Mike Carrell
