Babblefish,
I know that it is not looking good for NSOL from our viewing from a distance.
I agree w/doc, it is not over.
Hold on to your shares.
The DOD/Air Force are one of the primary forces concerning CTL, looking for domestice secure diesel supplies for our military. In my opinion it is not by accident that NSOL is listed on their web site and it is not an accident that $600k was alloted. These things do not happen by chance, don't let any of the negative posts, try to tell you so.
You really have to give NSOL another several months, because it is the Obama administration that will make it work. I believe you will see the insentives from government to make it happen, and they will be big. (From what I hear)
Don't give up just yet!!!
Good Luck in Alaska
