KK and Winsness learned how to protect "their" [GERS] Intellectual Property. They formed a shell company to protect the knowledge obtained while working at GERS; before Greenshift changed their name to CleanTech Alpha. They took the Intellectual Property and moved to Comstock Mining (LODE). Here is where the Intellectual Property ended up: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/comstock-pioneers-renewable-fuels-technology-201500871.html See Post 23988 in Comstock Board
KK and Winsness also took all of "their" Intellectual Property for growing Recreational Marijuana when they moved on to Pervasip Corp. (PVSP).
GERS received NO COMPENSATION for its Intellectual Property.
Fortunately, I took some of my GERS profits and purchased some LODE and some PVSP. The purchases were made for entertainment value as well as potential Capital Gains.
