Like Alstom?

" I see BLDP as a natural fit for the MRFC technology, but I am not sure about the ERC. I think it would be best owned and deployed by a company much, much larger than BLDP. "

On your notes on revenue, lets please also note that most of the MVTG ERC revenue once it starts, would be pure profit (zero cost, just a steady daily $/ton license fee revenue, since the costs, patents/legal license fees.... have/will have been prepaid by then), so not just revenue, or revenue at a loss, but a huge nearly all profit "Gross profit" revenue.

Speaking of Ballard and fuel cells and MVTG's fuel cell this is interesting. Look at the URL adddresses before following the links!!! The first one goes to Alstom, second one the Ballard. Maybe one day soon a third to MVTG?

Could Alstom have plans for MVTG fuels not yet made public? This took place before the MVTG-ERC-Alstom deal was made in late 2013.

ALSTOM links with BG on fuel cells

02/01/2012

ALSTOM, through its Transmission & Distribution sector, has just signed a Memorandum of Understanding with BG Technology, the independent research and development arm of BG (British Gas) plc. The focus of the agreement is to help commercialise Polymer Fuel Cell* (PEM) technology in stationary power generation systems, within the UK and some of the 18 other countries where BG has established a major presence.

Regarding MVTG's fuel cell future, and MVTG's partnership with Alstom:

http://evworld.com/news.cfm?newsid=12

The Alstom interest in fuel cells and deals with Ballard go all the way back to 2000 at least!!!

"Ballard Generation Systems was formed to commercialize PEM fuel cell stationary power generators that use the Ballard(R) fuel cell. In addition to Ballard Power Systems, its shareholders include GPU International Inc. of New Jersey, ALSTOM France S.A., and EBARA Corporation of Japan. "

"Ballard is partnering with strong, world-leading companies, including DaimlerChrysler, Ford, GPU International, ALSTOM and EBARA, to commercialize Ballard fuel cells. Ballard has also supplied fuel cells to Honda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Yamaha, Cinergy, Coleman Powermate and Matsushita Electric Works, among others. "
