The technology will be good enough for me when they can run the processors as required for commercial operations. Is that too much to ask?

A COO is needed for a company that can generate fuel at the rate advertised.  The business logistics are huge. Why are you trivializing this?

If you're saying he was brought in too early because he wasn't needed given the state of the technology, then the question I must ask: Why did Rauber think that the technology was further along than it was?  Why did he think that he could make a prediction of CFP by Q1 2013 at last year's AGM if he didn't believe that the technology was ready for prime time?

Could it be that he was not given the complete truth? Just as shareholders have not?

Either that or the technology guys simply don't know what they don't know.
