The Klann's are definitely NOT scam artists! They are growing a bit weary like us, I think, but still holding on to their integrity with patience, as long as avenues remain available for receiving the remaining financing portion to begin construction at Fulton.
The last time I communicated with Richard, he indicated they were still expecting a final decision from more than one possible funding sources.
I am disappointed with the slow movement from Chinese sources to get moving on this project, as they have much to gain from having a viable technology helping them to reduce trash materials, while producing valuable energy products with minimal air pollution.
I worked with petrochemicals as a Chemical Engineer, and have studied the BFRE concentrated acid hydrolysis process for producing sucrose( and then ethanol or other useful products) from cellulosic materials. I do feel their process is one of, if not THE best methods for making this conversion.
So, for the sake of China, as well as Bluefire, I hope the final funding is made available soon!
