K, It must not be as easy as that, since Petrobras has had years now to test & validate, and supposedly they've done so... with Nansulate, a product which could save them tens of millions of dollars due to less CUI as well as insulation properties for their pipelines and/or facilities. Yet, they have not. So, we may not be to keen to assume GE will move quickly if at all. It'd be nice, but something seems out of whack. If it is as simple as a big firm being exposed to Nansulate, then Petrobras would have put their $$ where their mouth is by now after 4 or 5 years of investigating the product.
No need to remind me about organizational changes, etc. If they were proving big time benefits with Nansulate, then they'd be buying the stuff no matter who's in charge. Regardless of other changes. All companies want to save money, profit is all they care about, and with the low expenditure needed to apply Nansulate it's even easier to justify.
Some assumptions we can make: The auto manufacturer obviously declined to use it, the major electronics mfgr obviously declined to use it, GASCO declined further use, PEMEX hasn't moved quickly as claimed thus far or else we'd have seen a PR about sales, Petrobras didn't feel the urge despite the CEO saying 50,000 gallons was requested for production which never happened, PlaceMakers chain in New Zealand obviously didn't sell the stuff much, the housing in Australia or was it Africa didn't happen, the US Army tested it but opted out so far(?), and the list is very LONG regarding LARGE initiatives or companies who've supposedly tested the stuff but not ordered. Why not?? They got great results but decided they didn't want to save money and energy?
