I think this is an important concept for investors to study and understand about the ERC technology. It is critical to understanding what you own. Thanks for the very informative posts and the many hours you have spent posting information over the months that helped me finally grasp the big picture.
The answer is that there isn't one canned answer that can be given on the ERC. That is not a matter of evading questions or talking around points, it is the fact that the ERC tech can almost be customized on demand for a specific industry and specific input / output.
That isn't a weakness, that is the brilliance of the technology in my opinion. The Pilot Plant isn't a proof of concept device or a commercial viability device...it is a sales and marketing tool.
By being built to be portable it allows various companies in various industries...globally...to learn exactly the optimal configuration for their specific site or plant, their specific concentrations of C02, their specific desired output(s), and their specific operational costs (i.e., electrical power has different cost rates around the world). Then this gives them a good idea of the total costs and ROI for the ERC so that they can make a decision on whether to include in their CAPEX budget. It is like being able to take a test drive in the car you are interested in buying.
I am sure this is what has the people excited who have recently left stable and safe careers to join MVTG. The potential of just the ERC alone is monstrous and capable of justifying a market cap many times the current one (eventually). In effect, when considering potential future valuations of the company, the MRFC and the energy storage options are almost just a bonus.
MVTG still has to execute the plan and nothing is guaranteed yet, but the execution to date has been as close to flawless (on a relative basis) as a micro cap can get IMO. I know I wouldn't have stuck around if I wasn't absolutely impressed with the progress to date in 2014.
Thanks for taking the time to help educate us on the tech.
