FOR A LONG YOU ONLY HAVE A SHORT OPINION:

As Coin Said you have missed the whole story:


I respect your first hand knowledge of the current operations "on the ground" at Ft. Union, but I think you're missing the big picture. (I also agree with you that staffing for normal plant operations isn't especially exciting.) Investors need to keep focused on the "big picture." The primary motivation for buying this stock is a belief that Evergreen is going to sell that new Bechtel plant design, and that it will be successful. To that end, it is nice to see Evergreen hiring more engineering-type sales support people in their Denver office:

To me that proves they are serious about doing what it takes to land those big deals in their business development pipeline:

Never before in history has this company been THIS CLOSE to a big deal. You could rightly argue that many small deals have slipped by in the past, but none of those deals were backed by Bechtel, a comprehensive support organization of more than 200+ employees, and actual operating experience with Lurgi pressure vessels.

At this point we still haven't seen any major issues that will prevent these deals from going forward. It's true that Evergreen is very far behind schedule, but that doesn't mean their plans have been derailed, or that K-fuel is any less marketable. On the contrary, with environmental regulations tightening worldwide, the window of opportunity for K=fuel is greatly expanding.


Finally, here are some quotes from Peter Lynch to ponder:


"The key to making money in stocks is not to get scared out of them."

"I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies."

"When stocks are attractive, you buy them. Sure, they can go lower. I've bought stocks at $12 that went to $2, but then they later went to $30. You just don't know when you can find the bottom."

"If China Power Investment group ever does build a Kfuel plant it would be a long ways off, assuming feasibility studies and environmental studies etc do not happen overnight. I would guess that by the time any of this happens that other systems such as The Future Gens Alliance will be near completion?
Ans if not near completion than at least they will have an idea as to whether or not their zero emissions design is viable.

So would you think that China will spend millions of dollars to build a Kfuel processing center that would only reduce emissions some or wait for something that will be zero emission's ? I would think that they will look towards the future rather than invest in old KFx technology?"

I would disagree with your opinion, once the plant is running to the capacity China would like to see you will see a great deal of investment in EEE. Where is there an existing plant running zero emissions using coal? So how long do you think all these systems are going to take to be actually be built, tested, and running at full capacity where all the bugs are worked out?

China is very interested in EEE.
