Sirius Minerals PLC (fka SRUXF)

[Thunderbolt]

DT

There are 3 of us so far interested in this stock that I know of.

May I suggest that you and Davedickens set up a board for the ADR's - SRUXY with you two as the board minders - extra benefits.

I pass the motion that DoubleTrouble (DT) be the moderator and that davedickens be an assistant on the new board for Sirius Exploration PLC (Pty Ltd). The new board to be known as SRUXY and it is the responsibilty for DT to determine which section to create the new board. May I suggest a section like OTC BB [Free] as it has reportably the most exposure.

Those in favor say 'I'

-----------------

This is Gav's work not mine. I wish to create some interest for starters.

I see the intentions of PSEG to look into CAES for the East Coast offshore windfarm, and PG&E's intentions for CAES on the West Coast, both would clearly be involving EPRI, but there's not much specific to North Dakota other than the locations of the bedded salt and good wind. A mention of 134 rather than 300 for the MW power would been very encouraging, but IMO this doesn't seem to lead back to Burke County.

On the ESPC site there are a few mentions of CAES in the projects.

These caught attention being done for EPRI

CAES concepts with coal gasification
CAES concepts with Thermal energy storage of the compression heat.

BUT........Going back to that 134MW figure.

Is interesting as it specifically mentions units of power in 134MW chunks being made and the land secured by FirstEnergy in Ohio.

or

Mentions the Iowa Stored Energy Plant Agency also looking to utilize a CAES plant using 134MW turbines.

MAN Turbo is a global company that makes compressors of 134MW in the UK targeting:
"Worldwide about 450 depleted gas or oil fields available for gas storage, plus underground caverns in salt rock formations"

LINKING TOGETHER:

Here is the outline of meetings between MAN Turbo, EPRI and the DOE all about using compressors for CO2 and electrical power generation.

http://www.nist.gov/eeel/high_megawatt/upload/2009_agenda.pdf

This meeting may well have been the start, given it happened around the same time as Doyle was giving interviews.

That is :

Develop a system of CAES utilizing MAN Turbo's 134MW compressors on CO2 with the help of EPRI that can then be sold on to the various power companies around the USA then beyond.

Just an idea to put to the board as a start for further research but good to see more coming from that 134MW figure.

Cheers all
