RE:what i dont understandUnfortunately we don't know why 11b/12b is moving so slowly (if at all). I don't believe ant-fossil plays a signicant role, though. The country depends on coal, and gas is clearly better.
My guess it that it is more related to infra-structure issues surrounding the expected buyer/consumer, and possibly financial considerations, around both product purchase and infra-structure build out.
Occassional updates would be nice, but I guess there is concern that could be conceived as inappropriate pressure by the counter parties.
