Snow who said that actually seems like a good guy. He's among a number of investors for whom I feel bad that they lost money. I think he took a big hit and still might not understand that he was swindled by PTOI. Even at $40/bbl, making oil at under $10/bbl would still be an impressive gross margin...if there was any truth at all to Mr. Bordynuik's original claims.
Underlying that, you actually make a good point. I think the skeptics have been too accommodating in playing along with hypotheticals. I've done that myself to try to show investors that the process isn't commercially viable. The bottom line is that the founder, Mr. Bordynuik, is a despicable and dishonest man who defrauded investors and PTOI's processors do nothing more than simple pyrolysis.
But alas, these days PTOI is providing distraction by broadcasting EcoNav and the two secret customers who are going to do a 3-5 day pilot run and then supposedly buy 30-40 processors. Actually PTOI might start to downplay the two secret customers announced early this year because that story line might make investors start to wonder why not one of three potential customers are able get their act together enough to buy a single processor.
