Crash and burn. @#@k Ron and his conniving ways. Great MO, feign transparency and robust shareholder inclusion and provide no details whatsoever during the death spiral. Anyone thinking of doing a class action I'm totally in. (Dumb question: could National Standard be liable for anything?)
Just another 3-4 days of the same and I can get back in the black....not holding my breath.
Shotgun arguments, where you put forth as many as possible hoping one sticks, is never cogent reasoning.
Yeah, hindsight sure is a wonderful thing.
What an abject failure. The "news" they released didn't even talk about their milestones. This is what I get for being an idealist. I'm so glad I didn't put more money into it as I had considered at one point. Figures that the transparency they displayed last year would turn murky on the way down.
Yes, precisely..it can't be built cause a small scale prototype will not have the same physical properties as the massive tower they are proposing. We've had computers that can run simulations for a long time now...a proper simulation can determine if it could work or not..not a couple lines of formula but a complete simulation.
Oh that's right, it's a video made by some Israeli institute. This is called a third party..a company with no real ties to SWET other than the idea itself. All they were doing is showing that cold air drops, but it's not even produced by SWET or endorsed by them either. If you listed to the Shareholder conference calls you'd know that Ron specifically addressed the issue of a working prototype. He actually talks about it. Have you even listened to the conference calls?
Post link. Can't remember if that was SWET material or a third party video. If you guys are really interested in informing others you should always provide links to your arguments..too many times no links are provided, just claims.
You realize you're trying to claim an environment in a straw will behave the same as a massive tower over 2000 feet high? It's absurd to think that blowing on a straw will somehow mimic the behavior of SWET's proposed tower.
It would be nice if this misleading sticky was taken down. It's nothing but a ridiculous claim that the entire process is simply lifting the water and then dropping it to make energy. It totally ignores the whole evaporation component, which is how the tower is supposed to actually work.
It's one thing to post criticisms and claims as to how the tower won't work, it's another entirely to misleadingly claim SWET is trying to make a perpetual motion machine and ignore the most crucial component of the tower's mechanism.
Climate Change Concerns Push Chile to Forefront of Carbon Tax Movement

Just a guess here, but probably the mining sector.
I don't quite get your logic..you are aware that they are pursuing a site in Chile right?
Yeah..Chile, exactly.
Middle east financier doesn't want exposure? Just throwing it out there.
Please elaborate..mixed as in including doubts to its feasibility? financing? whether it's a pump and dump? more details please
Yeah he mentioned that there was some kind of dampeners..but I want to know if it can sustain a 10
Great question..what was his answer?
What is biggest it can sustain?
The earthquake question.
Usually it's just been a playable recording.
Isn't the fact that it's billed as "open to the public" mean he should technically be able to release new info?
I can't promise, but I'm gonna try and swing it to be able to attend the conference call.
So the same day SWET goes up 40%, so does the lithium company that JDF invested in LEXG. Could this be JDF buying more shares of their investments at a perceived bottom?
Hard to say..,maybe 0.003 like it was early this year. I'm no expert. I figure it could just as well bounce on some well timed news...perhaps they will release news on day of conference call, it is billed as open to the public...would be legal, no?
If you were to hazard a guess, how much do you think this can run up again?
I might be missing something..but wasn't O/S at 525 million, plus another 125 million for JDF? Shouldn't total be at around 650 million, am I missing something?
Is it possible JDF is dumping shares?
Your contention was that Pickett danced around questions in the conference calls...given that I don't recall this happening, I was curious to know what you are talking about. (maybe I missed something)
If you were more specific..which question, what answer, and at what time in call? would be helpful to prove your point.
I'll be honest, that seems like a legit question to be asking...you plan on participating in the conference call?
Reads like good news to me...best case scenario SWET got the money already (unlikely), and worst case scenario once the company they're working with is ready they should have no problem lining up investors.
As for the delays, potential problem, might get resolved;
"In May, Goodlatte and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista) introduced a proposal to streamline the application process and increase the number of visas available to the EB-5 program. The bill is still in committee."
Although if they have to wait until Oct of next year..that would be unfortunate.
Except the fact is Whiting Turner and Nat Standard ARE experts based on experience.
For anyone wanting to compare SWET with conventional solar and wind:

I really wanted to participate, but I'm going to be working and unable to. I did have two questions I can think of off the top of my head I was wondering about.
1. According to the models, how big an earthquake can a tower sustain before structural damage occurs, and how much before total collapse?
2. What would happen in a sand storm and are there any plans to protect the tower if one were to occur?
I think waiting for a proof of concept is a very fair assumption...for 1.5 billion dollars..I'd certainly wait.
Well if you won't provide a name..I will. And look; I'll even post sources.
Funny you mention Georgia Tech btw: "Mr. Pickett: That's something that we developed with Dr. Straka, from University of Oklahoma and Dr. Sankar, from Georgia Tech" (talking about energy calculator)

They have a university they are working with, so I imagine more than one.
Convenient how you just left out the answer to my question.
Wrong with the 3000 ft, and why do you assume no water will be recaptured?
lol..care to drop a name so we can verify for ourselves? I'm gonna guess the answer is no.
