Some clarification if it helps:
The 60,000 MW of power requests is different than the $1.6bn.
The megawatt number represents the figure of leads that I have personally held in my hand, spoke with during inbound discussions, or that our team at Maximus has tracked and earmarked for followup. There is an additional 12,000MW (12 GW) of plant requests that USSEC has also received direct, and this is likely a low estimate.
It is a bit of an insane number, no matter how you cut it, but it is the facts and quantifiable in ten minutes. There is a very simple reason it exists as well: many of us are new to USSEC, and the statements being made about the company in their starting days were BIG. Individuals and professionals like myself did our due diligence, saw the process work, calculated the cost and market value of green power, and knew that JR had discovered a major find through his process and thinking.
The major challenge any company faces is bringing their product to market is quantifying the existence and interest from future clients, and capturing that in completed sales. Hence the reason our first call to action was positioning USSEC across the world on phrases / search requests / and research actions such as energy, electricity, power, turbine, kyoto, ethanol, and hundreds of other phrases. We needed to stimulate quick awareness and a secondary market quantifier to see and hear with our own eyes the absolute responses.
I can tell you with no lack of certainty: over the last sixty days hundreds of organizations have discovered USSEC. Many dozens have visited the plant, and I've yet to meet a professional with engineering, biofuel, or plant integration skillsets that didn't start counting dollar signs seconds after they have witnessed and tested the fuel themselves. On that note, your resident experts here (Elf, pound, Paper, tommy, etc.,) might be able to use big words and ethical accusations to discredit the performance and attributes of the fuel, but contrary to popular belief it is not rocket science. There are very simple tests done to illustrate BTU performance, fuel quality, and cloud points that are a part of all USSEC demonstrations.
On the subject of the $1.6bn, this represents a singular transaction that was presented to USSEC. It is one of six major platforms of similar size, and is not hard to do the math on. The basic principal is a package deal: 1GW power station, and a set of modular biofuel and ethanol production facilities aimed at 1m gallon daily production daily. If you compare USSEC's biofuel with any biodiesel out there: you get a clear and instant idea why USSEC is being offered these opportunities. If you start taking the five year, ten year royalties and income off of these projects, a single one constitutes a super payday for everyone involved, and it only gets better.
I certainly understand the confusion that can ensue with new inventions, but it is something that anyone with an alternative process has to deal with (hence the reason all the innovator / early adopter / mainstream curves exist for any new technology analyzed after rising to the top). Even the U.S. Government's own definition on what has constitutes top performance in renewable fuel products is inaccurate compared to what USSEC has proven, so I guess we can expect the rest.
Regarding Contracts:
Management has a choice: they can shoot squirrels or elephants. They have elected to shoot elephants, as project financing will exist either way. Plus there is typically no shortage of squirrels if you ever want to look for them.
On that note, we don't create the news, but we certainly influence the number of people who discover USSEC and SPC, and who can quantify the production / power provision capabilities of both entities. Everyone here is working together as quickly as they can to connect the final dots needed to finalize real income generation. Once that happens and all doubts are put to rest, you might even sense a bit of anti-climax as you lose the excitement of assumptions, board interaction, new relationships, and curiousity that this community has offered. There are some great people here.
I'd cherish this time of anxious excitment while it lasts....
