RE:RE:video interviewAgreed. Bunch of things that are happening and that need to happen. To Bernard's credit, he notes that this process is not much different for any R&D company's path to potential commercialization.
So, it very well could be that all folk trying to put things into perspective, critics, fudsters (or allegedly potentially "paid" fudsters as Agoracom likes to put a slant to probably discredit critiics) have some experience with investments that had positive lab test results and positive preliminary economic modeling. Bernard is convinced that things will happen like he hopes, albeit he will emphasize no guarantees, of course. And many folk and investors could simply be waiting for this journey towards commercialization to derisk much further because they've been there done that with other investments or simply don't have the risk tolerance to invest this early on.
For those thinking that commercialization is around the corner as if a pilot plant will be built relatively quickly and prove itself, the discussion about rough timelines to the first commercially operational plant starts at the 12th minute mark. Around the 15th minute mark, Bernard states that if things go well with this potential partner for plants, it could be by the end of 2026.
Proper perspective based on facts is everything.
