Due to the recent flood of publicity - it would surprise no one if some
enterprising group has not jumped on the SPAWARS experiments and proceeded
towars some kind of marketable niche there - such as transmutation
isotopes perhaps ?
Jones,
I'm in touch with a few under-the-radar private ventures. They fly low
because they believe they have something real, and consequently, don't want
to attract heavy competition. The faster and the farthest they can go
before everyone and their grandmother jumps on the bandwagon is to their
benefit. And it's not easy work. I know an op that has burned through $10M
in a year or two -- and they still havn't figured out the science. So the
thing is, this is a real tough road for VCs, who typically want ROI in
24-48 months. LENR looks to me more like a 10 year return. No casual
investor would consider that, nor would most VCs. It truly takes a major
public effort or a very deep-pockets, confident private group.
