Clean Energy (CLNE)

whassup - imho the diesel market will not just roll over and die, although CLNE and us stock holders wish it would. So simple economics come in to play. The hugely critical Govn't subsidy for engine conversion is an ongoing fight between the powerful lobbies; if Congress does not vote it in, then the cost of conversion is born by the companies rather than the taxpayer/Govn't, hence the rate of conversion is slowed.

Jmho but this is always a chicken and egg situation. Imho, either you have plenty of stations, or it is difficult to fuel up, and ifff the cost of conversion is high, then the rate rate of market penetration is slowed. That rate also being wildly affected also by the fluctuations with cost of diesel vs NG.

I submit this is merely a process not an event! It will merely take time, but is very probable, unless another very low cost alternative fuel is developed very soon within 5 years.

* Jmvho - Rate of expansion for CLNE = EPA + Cost of Fuel + # of stations + cost of conversion + Subsidies.

Currently the consumer is paying more for almost every product transported by the diesel 18 wheeler, disposable income of the American family is affected by the cost of diesel. Heating costs are artificially very high due to diesel supply. If conversion takes place rapidly the cost of heating and cooling and many other products should be reduced. The American Consumer should ultimately be the winner if CLNE wins the fight, jmho

For now, the shorts are attacking with a vengence, so either the stock issues a stock dividend or makes money or we are faced with this baloney a while longer.
