I was wondering how the big oil, big government conspiracy was going to discredit Rossi if he didn't manage to discredit himself enough (you know with silly web sites and more silly business plans.) But Jones you have found the build up of the back story for them to swoop in and claim Rossi is contaminating the world and must be shut down to save the world. :) :)
