But I doubt people like Halliburton and GE will let either of them OOIL or ESPH) get far, before they knock em both off, or buy them out cheap (meaning steal anything worth stealing from investors at a huge discount).
I have a close on eye on both of them, because I know the technology (I consulting work and permits in this field). EcoSphere is already moving into other markets per recent PRs.
I think it is a good market, the real issue is do they have the working capital to fight the big boys and survive, and anything truly new and novel that gives them any edge.
FWIW, I get very bearish when I see a company like OOIL, that was so deeply focused on Algae take their eye off the ball and PR a totally new market target. It sends off alarm bells to me. Of course years of never ending dilution here already pretty much did that too.
