Jim,
I’m sorry I haven’t responded earlier but you, (accidently), sent your last e-mail to yourself and not me. I caught up to it when I scanned your page after you invited me to be “a friend”. And by the way, I am honored. I think I’m scheduled to be in SC by late tomorrow. I want to do a first walk through on the plants before we talk. I would like to focus your inspections on required area’s in an effort to reserve time and expense. I’ll call you on that point. You know, I have advertised in so many different forums for plant managers with specific experience in running a Bio-diesel manufacturing plant, and have had little to no response. Although, this time I am looking for specific individuals with hands on knowledge and experience in running a Bio-diesel plant by the nuts and bolts, not a spokes person or wantabe politician in the green industry forum.
Since I’ve posted the company’s phone number, I have received at least 25 to 30 phone calls in the last 3 or 4 days from people with engineering background ranging from bio fuels to atomic energy. From MIT, SCU, BROWN, NAVY, and the list goes on and on.
I’m just now realizing that in today’s world, the Pickens Plan community is the most focused, rich, and in depth resource of talent that exist in the world for green energy today. There is no other arena to solicit talent of this caliber. I’ll give you a call from SC tomorrow with a schedule. My shareholders are suffering and they are my first concern. They need me to move forward and this is my resolve. However, this time it will be on point, with the right talent. Not a politician. I’ll speak with you tomorrow.
Brian
