Brian, sorry, I’d forgotten the secuities interpretation of the word white knight. 😛
Remember how to troubleshoot a dead CRT-type TV set? (Fix the HV power supply to make any remaining problem(s) more detectable). If energy unity is proven in 2012 or even later in 2011, we’d darn sure better have at least one ace in the hole.
And I’m sticking to my guns about not looking to the big boys for help. Since we have no way to predict the future, we have nothing to lose by growing our own resources. Or do we?
