The number of processors should not be an issue if one knows how much emissions are produced from one processor alone. JBII could submit an application that has 5 processors, as long the total output is below maximum levels.
The problem here is they keep on changing things, which in turn (IMO) make the previous collected data hard to use for the DEC application. It does indicate that emissions are low. However, if the emission levels change due to improvements, then there is no way to write an exact number on an application to be submitted. This would then be a bait and switch using data from the previous stack test.
Thus, it seems that JBII has been chasing its tail. I hope sooner than later they just stop making improvements and move the process ahead. There is always a second generation processor once the revenue start flowing to support the company. JMO
