Fermenting Ideas for the Future - from the Past

"During cellulose degradation by the fungus Trichoderma reesei, PLUSWave increases the production of fermentable sugars by 40 percent. In the next step, it increases the ability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment sugars to ethanol by 20 percent. In all, the company estimates it could reduce cellulose conversion costs to 1.2 cents per liter. Once the company has a handle on that, there are plans to research a consolidated cellulosic production process that would combine the hydrolysis and fermentation into one step, which would further decrease costs."

PS  "The hydrolysis and fermentation into one step?"  They have been doing that with SAKE in Japan for at least the last 13 centuries.

I belief you could lose more then you invested in this GERS stock.

Hallelujah.

Do not get your panty's in a wad. This technology is still over ten years out to substantial commercialization. So you have ten years to make gains on GERS. I suggest after financial and litigation matters are settled in two years, you will make great gains.

In the meantime, it is not wise to look at every day trading so just go long and concentrate on other investments. GERS will come through with or without a win on litigation only you will need to wait a few years. There is new management and direction for the company that makes sense and does not shoot from the hip as past management. The family is out and Mr. Ed Carroll is in charge. Contact Mr. Carroll if you really want to know what is going on and not KK, who is spending time on litigation most likely.

If you watched it close 12s sold out, only a small amount of 13s left.

Pursuing ideas like this is what GERS team is genetically geared to do. It is also why we have so much debt involved with GERS as this isn't the only other innovative lead followed and invested in outside of COES. Please, I hope they don't overdo it before some money is actually made. Lawyers and salesmen, take the lead here. If GERS invests too heavily in this, I'm out. I'm investing in COES, which has limited but very respectable profit potential by itself. Package with some shoot the moon cellosic business and I'm starting to question what I'm doing here. GERS technologists... maybe it is time to find some VC's to spin some of this other, how should I say it, "innovative progress" off into its own business.
