Indeed, those were some of the facets that comprised their original model. The entire model was a thing of beauty, really, and so environmentally conscious in many important ways. The two main revenue streams were intended to be derived from sales of top-grade beef as well as an ethanol-blended diesel fuel that, in testing, was shown to reduce particulate emissions by up to 69% in a variety of vehicular applications involving the burning of diesel - by far the worst pollutant (other than coal) arising from the development of the transportation/shipping industry over the past many decades.

It takes some imagination to see how these two very different products could arise from one cohesive scientific/business model, however that is where the beauty of it comes to the fore. I STILL believe strongly in the potential of this model to the point that I have tried to convince a few fellow-shareholders from the old days that we should submit an offer to the appropriate parties for the intellectual property rights to the original model and, subsequently, for the physical property & assets that remain. However that, of course, is another discussion that would be off-topic here if I were to continue.

At any rate, the plan eventually evolved from incorporating the production of ethanol ("paid for" in energy terms, if you will, by the heat-energy recovered from the incineration of the cattle manure) to the generation of electricity instead. It was very involved, but so beautifully integrated and self-sustaining that I am truly sorry, from an environmental standpoint - not just an investment one - that it never had a chance to get off the ground. Not everything in life can be reduced to the "bottom line" (or shouldn't be), but in this case there was plenty of promise for enough of that, too, to please even the most environmentally unconcerned profit-seekers (and just to be extra careful, - I am not suggesting that profit seekers are, by nature, environmentally unconcerned otherwise I would have to include myself in that). There was something for everyone; it was Utopian. It should be a going concern, worldwide, by now but instead it's the topic of a few meaningless posts on a discussion board (no offense). Can you tell I'm disappointed in what became of it?!

So here I sit with shares of NOUV now, and as such - things are definitely looking up. And although I'm not as "invested" in the goings-on of NLP as I was with HFI, I am probably more optimistic now about the potential I see from this fledgling co. than I came to be about Hybrid over the years. It had an excellent model, born out of tremendous vision, but it lacked spirited leadership that cared enough to do anything with what they were sitting on (which, for the record, was nothing short of an intellectual goldmine).

So if you, like me, bought back when it was a beef & ethanol company then, "hello, brother - a toast to you and to your shares in NOUV... may they bring you a handsome reward for your years of patience and endurance."

All the best.
