How many tons of *electrolytically manufactured* hydrogen have you sold to
date ?

$24 billion worth. 1/3 of it will be used to upgrade lower rank
fuels, 2/3 will be burned directly.

And when will you deliver these 30 million tons ?

30 billion you mean

No, I meant 30 millon tons. As in $24 bn/ $800 per ton.

- these are 40 year contracts with first deliveries in 2011.

OK. Good luck with that.

Thanks, I can feel the love. lol.

William, here are a few engineering type questions regarding your
plans:

1. How will airborne contamination, dust, dirt, soot, pollen, etc.
that floats around and lands on things outside impact the optical
performance of your PV devices? How often will the need to be cleaned
or otherwise maintained to achieve desired performance? How will they
be cleaned?

2. Since your projects are located in the tropics, it seems likely
that in the course of a few decades, one of your sites may be hit by a
tropical cyclone. Your description of the PV devices made them sound
somewhat lightweight in construction. How do anticipate they would
weather a cyclone?

3. In addition to the creative and proprietary technical aspects of
your projects, it would seem to me that there will be a large amount
of meat and potatoes engineering to build the type of facility you
describe. Is your company doing the detail design of the entire
project? Who is going to do the construction?

4. For the electrolyzer, what will be the source of water? How pure
does the water need to be and what will you do with the removed
contaminants?

5. After the hydrogen is produced does it need to be liquified for use
in your coal to high quality hydrocarbon process? How are you going
to deal with the metal embrittlement issues in handling the hydrogen?

6. Where will the PV devices, electrolyzer and coal-to-liquid reactor
be designed and built? Is your company designing and supplying all of
that equipment?

7. How big is your company? Do your intend to take it public
eventually?
