Harry,

I spent a considerable time responding to your comments point by point.
Unfortunately even though Google Groups said my response was posted, it
failed to appear. So, rather than go through the whole thing again I'll
summarize1 haha..

1) Conventoinal solar power costs $11 per peak watt including all balance
of systems. Their life span is 8 years and you are exposed to 800 hours
per year,you're only going to produce 6.4 kWh at a total cost of $20
(equipment + time value) - which is your $3.12per kWh.

2) My concentrating solar panels costs $0.09 per peak watt including
balance of system. Its life span is 20 years. And it is operated in
areas exposed to 1,600 hours per year. So, its going to produce 32 kWh at
a total cost of $0.16 - which is $0.005 - one half cent per kWh.

Reality check time - how many peak kWh of these panels have you actually
produced at that cost? At any cost?

3) I do not sell my equipment. I sell gasoline diesel fuel and jet fuel
to pay for equipment I build. I build own and operate facilities that
produce liquid fuels using this equipment. I take $4 worth of coal,
$0.60 worth of water, along with $4.40 worth of equipment and make one
barrel of gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel blend. The value of this
fuel is well over $70. By selling a portion of the forward production
at a discounted price, I obtain funds to build own and operate the
plant. This cost adds another $9 per barrel of fuel.

How many barrels of synthetic oil have you actually produced and sold
with that equipment?
