Fran, Yes, all other countries will expedite the introduction and adoption of this technology if it proves out and makes it to market... Although not a do-or-die deadline, the Oct date is very important.
I have to wonder that IF the countries around the world were not in such dire financial straights, whether the e-Cat would have a chance? I'm a "big picture" mentality, and what comes to mind now is how the earth, and the average person on it, was in desperate need of a better technology for energy production... And that global economic conditions have come about just in time to overcome the power-centers that have vested interests in the status quo. I don't think those power-centers anticipated this monkey-wrench (CF/LENR) in their plans!! Thankfully, for us peasants, it has... Another thought is that the disruption caused by this technology will be felt MOST by the financial markets, and a bit by govts and industry, but very little by us peasants. Interesting times indeed. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Roarty, Francis X [mailto:francis.x.roa...@lmco.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 10:15 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: EXTERNAL: RE: [Vo]:Greece Could Use the ECat Now Mark, I agree with your logic and think other nations will quickly remove their own road blocks and turn on investment for fear of letting Greece become the next OPEC. Recent news about the NASA tests and Secretary Chu would seem to support this shift here in the United States and I expect there is a similar rapid shift in LENR priority occurring overseas. There are already additional pressures being brought to bear on the Rossi development in that Panatelli is rumored to be making up lost ground and then there is also this recent weekends Colloquium at MIT with Brian Ahern's presentation - and let us not forget Black Light is way overdue for an announcement -this is the longest dry spell on their website since 2008! A positive indication on CIHT or a reactor demo would probably start an avalanche, perhaps this is why Mill's has remained silent to buy himself a little more time but it really doesn't matter now - this bus is leaving the station!

You can bet they are going to milk Defkalion for as much as they can get away with... It's the way the game is played. My bet is that Greece was able to convince its creditors (banks thruout Europe, and a large chunk held by Germany and France) that it has THE energy of the future, and if the creditors will prop them up a little longer, they'll begin to make good on the debt. Greece HAS to make Defkalion successful... Which is another BIG reason why big Oil or OPEC won't be able to stop this from making it to the market... -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Terry Blanton [mailto:hohlr...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 5:45 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: [Vo]:Greece Could Use the ECat Now http://www.cnbc.com/id/43381710 Greece's Debt Rating Slashed, Making It World's Lowest Published: Monday, 13 Jun 2011 By: Reuters Standard & Poor's downgraded Greece's credit rating by three notches Monday, making it the world's lowest after the agency said a likely debt restructuring would be considered a default. A restructuring of Greece's debt - either with a bond swap or by extending maturities on existing bonds - looks increasingly likely to be imposed by European policymakers as a means of sharing the burden of Greece's crisis with the private sector, S&P said in a statement. "In our view, any such transactions would likely be on terms less favorable than the debt being refinanced, which we, in turn, would view as a de facto default according to Standard & Poor's published criteria," the agency said. In such a case, S&P added, Greece's credit rating would be lowered to "selective default," or SD, while the ratings on the country's debt instruments would be cut to D. <more> Information we have seen here indicates that Defkalion has connections to the Greek government and has purchased a factory in Xanthi Prefecture. But, the world must wait for the megawatt power plant in October. Can Greece afford to wait to October? If the government is truly aware of what Defkalion really has New Fire and exclusive rights in Eastern Hemisphere, would not they be expediting the production of shippable product? I would think that once the products start rolling off the production line, all talk of a financial default would cease. Anyone would be willing to buy a stake in Greece's future. I know I would buy their bonds! T
