There are also other sources of ammonia. Have you ever been on a farm in Iowa? Or simply driven through Iowa and taken a whiff of the fresh farm air?

Argyll, while I can't say I know much about ammonia, I pulled this from a google search (see below).

Where exactly AHC expects to get their ammonia, I'm not sure. Even if it comes froma fossil fuel, does not matter. What matters is the rate of efficiency that is brought from that fossil fuel.

Not sure if you remember the awesome run by SUF a few years back. Went from .20's(?) to $19.80, without even having an operating beta-unit in the field. That translated to a $1B marketcap for a company with absolutely NO revenues and NO working models, all because of a sono-cracking technology that could increase the value of a bbl of oil by 20%. The market literally went gaga for weeks and months on end, running the stock up.

ARSC has working beta units in the field. They are ramping up for production. They are taking purchase orders and getting funding. Sure they have some debt, but only the small minds look at the small picture of things. Look at the future and the needs of it. Efficiency more than ever and more than anything, in the very least, is what is needed....world-wide!

ARSC brings to the table, a way in which the homeowner can be totally FREE of the grid, not just a way in which to back up the grid, when needs be. A primary source of energy, not a secondary source.

Freedom from the grid, in an economical way, is more valuable each day that electrical rates rise. The combination of ARSC's wind and fuel cell technologies not only frees homeowners from the grid, but allows them the capability to actually sell the excess electricity generated, back to the grid, and in 22 states (at present), at the same rates that the local elec. co. sells it to them.

That's no small thing, Argyll.



Ammonia

Highlights:


Ammonia is found throughout the environment in the air, soil, and water, and in plants and animals including humans. Exposure to high levels of ammonia can cause irritation and serious burns on the skin and in the mouth, throat, lungs, and eyes. At very high levels, ammonia can even cause death. Ammonia has been found in at least 137 of the 1,647 current or former National Priority Sites list identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).


What is ammonia?
Ammonia occurs naturally and is produced by human activity. It is an important source of nitrogen which is needed by plants and animals. Bacteria found in the intestines can produce ammonia.

Ammonia is a colorless gas with a very distinct odor. This odor is familiar to many people because ammonia is used in smelling salts, many household and industrial cleaners, and window-cleaning products.

Ammonia gas can be dissolved in water. This kind of ammonia is called liquid ammonia or aqueous ammonia. Once exposed to open air, liquid ammonia quickly turns into a gas.

Ammonia is applied directly into soil on farm fields, and is used to make fertilizers for farm crops, lawns, and plants. Many household and industrial cleaners contain ammonia.

BTW, SUF still trades at a $300M+ marketcap, still has no revenues (to the best of my knowledge), and is still taking on debt.

This ($300M+ marketcap) is how the market values a company with an answer.

While ARSC is a fully reporting company just like SUF is, unfortunately, ARSC does not trade on the AMEX....yet.

I think the answer is obvious. Hydrogen storage is a technology the world has yet to crack, at least economically. Here's a wiki link that shares the basics, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_storage

Ammonia on the other hand can be stored in anything your heart desires, can be bought at about any store you walk into, and would not cost billions of dollars to build out infrastructure in support of the Hydrogen economy. Did I mention even a kid can buy a gallon of ammonia? That left on shelf its volume stays the same? That one needs not concern themselves that its explosive?

Governments and industry continue to pour millions of dollars trying to lower cost of storage, with this potential tech that quest could become null and void, IMO.
