RE:How are we like Nevada Geothermal and how are we different?RJ, Very good synopsis of NGPs path. Two comments (somewhat jaded I will admit); 1. RGP management has no expressed interest, intent or structure that will keep them in the geothermal business. 2. Private lenders are seldom so altruistic that their only concern is supporting development projects in developing countries. If the lender is faced with taking a substantial loss on the loan, but for the owner/operator, they will take the asset and sell it IMO. Not bad, that's just who they are. You are correct that they do not want to be the long term operator of a geothermal power plant. The lender in this case will certainly not take a loss on the project - that means the full loan has to be satisfied (paid or refinanced). For the right buyer, the banks might defer if there is a commitment for a new drilling program (once again ala' NGP) to increase production. But if it fails again, the banks are right back in the same position - why would they? EIG is still operating the Blue Mountain power plant because they do not want to take the loss they are still faced with. Asset buyers are not altruistic either by the way. Everyone looking at RGP assets, either SJT alone or the whole company, will place little or no value on any of the other geothermal prospects and try to buy for the lowest price possible. The risk of development is high, and the capital required to develop these projects is also high. Cos, I am sorry, but our company is leaving this business and will not develop any other projects in its current form. Management has two goals - get out of SJT (and the geothermal business) unscathed, and return as much of the corporate debt they possibly can. If there is anything left over for the shareholders - god bless them! In the land of the blind......... OE
