It surprises me how many are jumping off the ship the last few days. Put things in prospective for a moment. A year go this company was nothing but a promise, a year later doing 14 million in sales.

A CEO who has established that when he makes a promise he does his very best to fill those promises.

He has brought to this chump change company not one but 2 profitable companies.

Over the last few days he has promised his shareholders 2 additional acquisitions and the hopes of being in 100 million in revenue.

Some look at these promises as being unrealistic pointing out the revenue of the two companies we are ready acquired.

IMHO, his stating 100 million in revenue 2015 includes the projection of sale of the new cell in 2015. If this is taken in to consideration a 100 million in revenue might not be that far out of reach.

As of today JN, has not shown that he will not try his best to make this happen. In a penny stock you can't for more than that.

I also believe the high volume over the last week is necessary dilution, you can not make acquisitions or do research with out funds.

He said the manufacturer partner will be by end of the 4th quarter, we have 45 days left. I believe he will deliver.

SLTD, Solar3D Announces Expansion into Nevada Solar Market

The company will join other major energy companies in the new hotspot for solar power

Roseville, CA – November 12, 2014— Solar3D, Inc. (OTC: SLTD), a leading solar power company and the developer of a proprietary high efficiency solar cell, today announced that its has finalized it’s plan to expand into Nevada through it’s SUNworks division and will begin operations in January, 2015. This news follows Solar3D’s announcement that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire 100% of MD Energy, LLC, a Rancho Cucamonga, California-based a solar systems provider.

Nevada has become a hotspot of late for energy companies, as just last year Warren Buffett’s Iowa-based MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. purchased NV Energy. According a recent New York Times article, this has stimulated optimism and growth throughout the state for new energy independence, as an increased “percentage of energy is coming from renewable sources — geothermal, solar and wind. Solar3D’s SUNworks division seeks to capitalize on this exploding regional market by offering its low priced solar systems through a range of various financing options.

“We are extremely excited about the tremendous opportunity that the Nevada solar market has to offer,” said SUNworks CEO, Abe Emard. “We are confident that as the Nevada energy market continues to expand and turn to renewables, the opportunity for SUNworks to succeed is significant.”

Brent Baker, SUNworks VP of Sales added, “We have an aggressive growth model for 2015 and we anticipate that this entry into the Nevada market will provide us with approximately 20% of that overall revenue within the first year of operation.”

Jim Nelson, CEO of Solar3D, commented, “We are thrilled with the success that our SUNworks division is experiencing as we continue to gain market share in this explosive market. Our recently announced acquisition of MD Energy will not only strengthen our California presence, but is part of our strategy to grow in the western part of the U.S.”

I can not help but agree with you again "AS FAR AS SCAMS GO IT KINDA WEAK:

With the working relationship of Lafarge and Alstom there is a VERY WEAK CHANCE that this is a scam.

IMHO, we supposedly are taking about not just another fuel cell,but THE fuel cell here.

The answer to all fuel cells, infrastructure conversion done easy, low safety risk, energy efficient, low pollution and cheap.

I am sorry I truly got to believe if I am an Ecomike type (I do apologize to keep referring to you) I am letting my superiors know that this tech exist and that it can be ours rather cheaply (in the GE universe). If nothing else but for a possible large bonus.

Again I have to agree HOLD is the way to go here. At least to FEB 2015, then things really should get exciting.

By then I believe you will be correct "HOLD ON FOR NO BID" everyone will be buying on the ask.

Greener, we are talking about science here, documented, patented science.

Science (based by someone in the field telling us) is the answer to our planet energy problems.

Why is Ecomike so gun hoe on MVTG, because with his expertise in the field he see the great potential this tech offers.

I got to believe that GE has on it's payroll hundreds of Ecomikes, who constantly compare there research with what else is out there.

I also got to believe that this revolutionary science would also teak their interest,

Have to agree it so silly to sell at these prices, and apparently 99.9% of the shareholders agree.

OK, then let's take this speculation a step further.

Let say "some people at GE, lab rats, might know a little bit about the MVTG fuel cells" and like you see this as the holy grail of fuel cell technology. Would it not stand to reason that these lab rats would push this information up the change of command, til some in the company would notice?

So are you saying that it is possible the way SEC and DOJ dismantle this company, taking away all it's assets, and forcing it in to chapter 7 instead of 11, was also a total disaster.

As always thanks, very good insight.

That would be a very profitable niche market to dominate.

A very speculative question, I am only asking this because you worked in the field. Do you believe at this time that the GE scientist are aware of MVTG fuel cell tech?

With technology constantly evolving, don't these large companies have huge research departments that continually track new developed in their field?

GE with it's vast amount of resources at it's disposal, one would have to believe that they are aware of the MVTG technology.

Yet, this billion dollar company is going in a totally different direction in the fuel cell market.

The question is why?

If they put in billion of dollars into their fuel cell and their fuel cell reaches the market first, you really don't think they will try and sequester MVTG fuel cell.

Again MY concern, IMHO GE knowing of the technology of MVTG, decides to go in a different direction, because their believe that where the future lies.

We get excited over a $450,000 grant here, what is $450,00o to GE?
I for one pray MVTG fuel cell makes to the market first and becomes the world fuel cell standard.

I seen to many times the big guy squashes the little guy,

Aug 26, 2014

http://www.timesunion.com/business/article/GE-unveils-new-start-up-GE-Fuel-Cells-5714689.php

Your a connect the dot kind of guy, maybe you can help me with my dot connecting concerns.

MVTG partners with Alstom on development of the fuel cell. GE buys part of Alstom. GE become aware of MVTG though it relationship with Alstom. GE take no interest in the MVTG technology and starts investing BILLIONS in it's Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC).

GE also has plans to enter the electric car fuel cell business.
http://www.ge.com/press/scienceworkshop/docs/pdf/Fuel_Cells_with_Standards.pdf.

Ah, but solar shoulders along interstates highways , see very little traffic,very little shading.

I disagree, maybe you should take a good look at SLTD, not only have they acquire two solar panels installation companies (who are profitable by the way) they are very near to launching the most efficient solar panel on the planet.

Nothing against Larry ( I believe he will), but SLTD CEO has already delivered on two of his promises to it's shareholders, making 2 major acquisitions.

Puppy the crime was sooooooo bad that Metter got a $100.00 fine and SM got probation. I seen parking tickets that handed out harsher penalties.

Rcranga you have to agree is some is trying to make this a pump and dump, with a volume of 600 shares traded they should look for another job

or is it no one wants to get rid of it at these prices.

SLTD's new game changing 3d solar cell coming very soon but mean time:

Solar3D to Acquire MD Energy
Marketwired
Leading Solar Power Company Signs Definitive Purchase Agreement to Acquire 100% of Southern California-Based Solar Systems Provider
November 06, 2014: 03:30 AM ET

Solar3D, Inc. (OTCQB: SLTD), a leading solar power company and the developer of a proprietary high efficiency solar cell, today announced that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire 100% of MD Energy, LLC, a Rancho Cucamonga, California-based a solar systems provider. The purchase is part of Solar3D's growth-by-acquisition strategy, which is intended to dramatically accelerate the company's top line revenues, as well as its operating earnings.

MD Energy is a premier provider of solar energy projects. It has designed and installed systems from a few kilowatts up to multi-megawatts for a variety of residential, commercial and industrial customers. MD Energy is operating profitably and its revenue in 2014 is anticipated to be approximately $7.3 million with substantial growth expected in 2015. Following the acquisition, MD Energy will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar3D.

"The acquisition of MD Energy is a perfect complement to our SUNworks subsidiary, which is growing very rapidly in Northern California," said Jim Nelson, Solar3D's CEO. "MD Energy is located in Southern California, arguably the hottest solar market it the world right now. Our acquisition strategy is dependent on only acquiring companies with great leaders. We have that with Danny Mitchell, who will continue to lead his team of experienced professionals. We have enormous confidence in the commitment and competitive strength of MD Energy's management team."

"Another reason that MD Energy is so attractive is that the skillsets of its key people complement our team at SUNworks so well," Nelson continued. "Couple that with our ambitious expansion plans, and we believe we have established a winning formula for growth that we expect to continue in 2015 and beyond."

Danny Mitchell, CEO of MD Energy commented, "For our team at MD Energy, the relationship with Solar3D gives us the resources and strength to take our growth to another level. We believe in the vision of Solar3D's strategy, and believe that the combination of our various organizations will lead to rapid growth throughout California."

This acquisition, following a similar purchase of SUNworks in January 2014, allows Solar3D to take advantage of the rapidly growing US solar market, which is expected to exceed 20 gigawatts by the end of 2015, a 300% increase since 2011. Solar3D, MD Energy, and SUNworks are all headquartered in California, which leads the nation with almost 250,000 solar projects, comprised of over 2,300 megawatts installed. With approximately 25% of residential and commercial rooftops in the country deemed suitable for solar, management believes that Solar3D is poised for significant revenue growth, as it positions itself to take advantage of this rapidly expanding market.

Nelson concluded, "We are working to achieve our goal of bringing affordable solar power to the world. In 2014, our management team has developed what we believe to be the best solar design and installation program in the US, and by remaining focused on well defined market opportunities, we anticipate even greater success in 2015."

The closing of the MD Energy acquisition, as described in the definitive purchase agreement, is subject to Solar3D's satisfactory review of the operations and financial and corporate records of MD Energy. The transaction is expected to close by February 2015.

You are absolutely correct "Well, actually building something and having it work at a commercially viable (profitable) level are not necessarily the same thing."

If MVTG was at the commercially viable (profitable) level you would be paying 50 dollars or more a share instead 50 cents or less.

The questions you put forth are excellent questions, instead of just posting them here why don't you also post them to the source,MVTG.

I personally don't care about the fuel cell, to me the cell is gravy, a surprise extra product that when I invested here was not even in my investment decision.

As I have stated in the past, I firmly believe there will be a world wide carbon tax. IMHO MVTG technology offers the best business solution to that tax.

Will it work, will it be commercially viable? I have no idea. But what I do know a company as large as Lafarge, whose scientist believes that it has a chance of being successful. Lafarge has kept their relationship with MVTG for over 3 years. I would have to think Lafarge's scientist, if they thought the MVTG's science was bogus would have ended that relationship years ago.

"In reality they could plug a tube onto the Lafarge equipment and call it a "pilot" unit." only in a looney tune cartoon. I think you can make a safe assumption that anything MVTG hooks up to the Lafarge plant has been thoroughly scrutinize but the scientist at Lafarge.

"People like to show their successes, hide their failures - yes? "
Absolutely, but billion dollars company don't allows failures to be attached to their facilities.

To answer your question hold until January if they come through with a pilot plant you can have confidence that they will come through with the rest of the tech.

Out of curiosity what do you base this assessment on?

If there was a large amount of volume here plus major dilution by the company, I would take your theory more seriously.

Since only less than 30,000 dollars a day is being traded here ( ave volume around 60,000 at around 38 to 45 cents) I can not see anyone profiting from a dry well situation here.

Plus the company is not flooding addition shares into the market, as the OS has not changed significantly during this period.

JMHO

That a good guess, I hope your right.

It just doesn't make sense, all the people Larry has spoken to over the last few years. Showing the tech to Ecomikes around the world who truly see the magnitude of the tech, yet no real buying in interest.

What are we missing.

You would think after the Green Barron PR, that a number of people would have put MVTG on their watch list. A PR like this should be enough to have some of them to test the water.

This is really good news, but doesn't it bother any one that the volume sucks. It makes you wonder if anybody other than this board is paying any attention to MVTG.

Wish there was a timeline associated with this agreement.

Way I read it to mean, the students will just subject the material to a various set of conditions, several ranges of temperature (hot cold), various levels of humidity, (heavy to dry), maintaining stability in various storage containers (plastic or metal).

Overall to see that if it is used as a fuel, what type of conditions will have to put in place to guarantee that each time you fuel up you are getting an acceptable level of fuel.

To me it is the next logical step in preproduction.

Think of the drug industry, after a compound is did discover, they go though a series of test to see how long they maintain there effective value. Hence each drug has a different expiration dates and different storage conditions (refrigeration, packaging,etc)
Not all things decompose at the same rate.

If this is the fuel of the future they will need to get some idea how to store it to prolong it's expiration date as long as possible.

Finally to answer your question "Is this Mantra's Achilles heel"
the answer is no, it is just a step in the process.

Great post

Currently, there is no buying interest in MVTG that is why the price is falling.

When "If this were true "Why is the price slowly slipping, ... but I think it because it has yet to prove that it will ever get to commercialization" MVTG would not have been able to rally from .047 to .75 this year. " this occurred there was a great deal of buying interest at that time.

To use your logic MVTG has fallen 47% since that peak, meaning that that investors are losing interest ( at this moment).

"The problem is that the buying interest is buying cheap shorted shares at the bid as the MMs walk it down. Until the shorts give up and cover and the buyers realize the cheap shorted share gig is up, they have little reason to buy at rising ask prices."

If this is the game changing technology that we believe it is the buying interest should be so strong that the shorts wouldn't have the power to drive the price down. Since they are driving the price down it proves that a strong buying interest does not exist at this present time.

I always dislike the use of percentages to explain anything they are so miss leading.
An example:
A position rises from 1 cent to 2 cents a 200% rise.
from 1 dollar to 2 dollars also 200% rise
from 5 dollars to 10 also 200% rise
Percentages are the same but the significant impact is quite different. So while the position here has risen a large percents( remembering this rise foundation is based only on speculation that the tech will work at the present time, which can easily collapse if they can not commercialize it) it started at zero or below any pocket change rise would cause a high percentage gain.

To also show how percentage miss lead, the position goes from 70 to 50 only a 50% loss, if it went 35 to 70 it would be a 200% gain. At 35, even though you lost your 200% gain you state you only lost 50%.

MVTG has rallied to .75 but since that has fallen back almost 50%, you can not blame the shorts because no one is out there buying up what we all believe to be cheap shares.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Gantor50 I believe they are referring to this press release.

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/correction-shareholder-update-mantra-anticipates-rapid-growth-in-2014-otcqb-mvtg-1885723.htm

The sad truth, other than the those already long there is no outside buying interest here.
With a daily average of only 61,928 shares, it is not going to take a lot of selling to knock down the price.

If one is to believe Larry (at present there is no reason not to) then the pilot plant should be on line January 2015. If successful I expect a significant rise in awareness in the company which means an increase in volume.

On an objective note and only using the daily volume as an indicator, Larry trips have not shown to add any new investors interest to the company. It doesn't mean he hasn't establish partnerships for future ventures, only that those he has talked to have no interest at this time to buy the stock on the open market.

Why is the price slowly slipping, manipulation maybe, but I think it because it has yet to prove that it will ever get to commercialization, and most investors are not the most patient lot.

Sit back relax enjoy the holidays, I expect a late Christmas by the end of January 2015.

Any addition news before than is extra gravy.

Mike your never too old. I am involved with a gentleman in his 80's who for the last 15 years has been trying to bring his patented beverage, FIZZA® is a Sparkling Dairy Nutrient Beverage which has the taste, mouth-feel and sensory appeal of soft drinks yet provides the qualitative nutrients found in milk.

Finally, this passed summer he has gotten the product to the production phase.

If you get enough funding, if you put in as much effort into you battery patent as you do these message board, I have not doubt your still young enough, to bring it to market.

Thanks for the great explanation, I will continue to stay away from CABN.

Hope those two things come true for you. MVTG reaches profitability, and they bring your patents to market.

Or you make enough off MVTG and have the funds to bring patents to market yourself.

I agree with your passed assessment.
Based on their September 8k filling I was wondering if you think they might have changed the direction of the company.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Effective September 16, 2014, Carbon Sciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), has determined to change the focus of its business from developing a technology to convert natural gas into liquid fuel to developing a technology to mass produce graphene from natural gas. The technology, which the Company is developing in conjunction with the University of California, Santa Barbara ("UCSB"), under its existing agreement with UCSB, is intended to transform natural gas into commercial size sheets of graphene that can be fine-tuned with application-specific electrical and materials properties.

Ecomike what is your opinion of the new direction CABN is going?
