I can believe the emulsion fuel part of the story. It isn't a secret, and other companies are working on it. Universities have been studying it for awhile as well.
I think MS said something about older scientists being "put out to pasture". That's how ECOS was born. I can certainly buy that. I have a friend who worked for NASA and other agencies. He was "retired" but he had stuff he was working on alone that could have been remarkable. If ECOS really is 5 or 6 scientists getting together to work on stuff like this, I can believe it.
I can also see big oil not wanting their "product" lasting 30% longer OR spending the $ to test emulsion fuels. It's easier to let ECOS run the ball in the endzone and THEN valero, phillips, BP, etc will spike the football for them, and only when they have to.
The B-movie set generic photos are disturbing, but then again you don't want to put too much info/detail in public domain if you really are working on patent stuff.
