Lowman- let's limit CTGI's spending to this sphere, the LTC sphere.
"CTGI is an 'investment', with 'no guarantee' that it will (as a company) succeed."
That's right, there's no guarantee. But the odds can certainly be increased by judicious spending of capital until the LTC money starts to accumulate.
I agree with Jagman on this one- until DR shows us a costing model for emissions scrubbing, or until economic conditions return to a semblance of pre- Sept 2008, the jump from test tube to smokestack is too much for CTGI to take on.
We haven't made a dime yet and we're still paying off the last clean energy endeavor. It's not about being bold and brave...forget the "dark ages" hyperbole. We don't need another billion dollar idea. We need 2 quarters showing a well executed, revenue generating business plan.
