and you need to explain why 1 BTU from the biofuel in engine X is any more or less efficient than 1 BTU from oil or gasoline in engine X.

After reading this last PP statement, I will say that PaperProphet is NOT an engineer. If he is, he really needs to brush up.

If he were an engineer, he would know that both BTU's and kwh's are units of energy. They do not "convert" with any amount of efficiency. It is as simple as english versus metric (read inches vs. centimeters).

In addition, HEAT is a form of energy. If heat is added to the Rivera Process during the vacuum phase, then it is one of the energy inputs (along with soy beans). The outputs (light/heavy gas, invisible gas, etc), can most definitely have more BTU's than the original soybeans given this additional heat. However, keep in mind that some of that energy is used to feed back into the system (the heating phase). How that's done, I don't know.

The only thing that PP is right on is that there isn't enough info to verify anything other than the test labs, e2m involvement, onyi filings, etc. This IS a speculative stock. Nobody should argue that. There is some amount of faith in the stock necessary, given what we have. On the other hand, there's NOT enough info to discount it prematurely as PP and a few others have. I will have patience for this startup with a large future. I suggest to everybody to not watch the ticker every minute of every day, unless you hope to strictly day trade it.
