Everyone is getting paid.
Canyousay, you are absolutely correct. Everyone is getting paid. Bill is getting paid; Robert, Julia and the rest of management are getting paid; the Board is getting paid; the employees are getting paid; our suppliers are getting paid; even our customers are getting paid through energy savings and reduced maintenance costs.
Everyone is getting paid. Everyone except us. The shareholders.
I guess that Bill doesn't really need share price appreciation though. He's collected millions in salary over the years. Hopefully he has invested wisely. Maybe he bought shares in some good venture cleantech companies like XBC or PYR. If so, he should be quite wealthy.
