lolz....did you notice who this company's chief backer is?

General Motors.

If this thing works as advertised they stand to gain a financial windfall the likes of which hasn't been seen in the better part of a century.

PLUG industries, the fuel cell maker, is/was backed by GE. Don't think that a big company backing you means anything. Many times large corporations fund and/or back small companies, i doubt they ever do it with small company best interests in mind.

I was commenting on the unlikelihood that the teh eval corn industry would be able to crush this small company (backed by the 5th largest company on the planet) if the technology works.

..it's not a problem. it's a wonderful money making ruse. ask algore.

Keep saying it, maybe it will come true! Hell, it worked for most religions.

Seriously, leave the science to the scientists, partisan hacks like you have nothing to offer. Whether or not you're even remotely correct about MMGW/MMCC being a "ruse", you don't help the situation, and neither does anyone else like yourself. Go back to work, go back to church, do your own thing. The people who actually know what the hell they're talking about will take care of the data and studies, and eventually, using the scientific method, we'll figure the shit out without you.

HACK.
