What about the company?
Again the posts are predominantly about the ups and downs of the stock price over the last days and the potential for the future. Was there any recent "company" news? Chevron and Brightmark announced that the previously announced 18 Biostream units are destined for dairy farms in the upper Midwest. My guess would have been California--but the Chevron connection is interesting as they recently announced that they would not be pursuing wind and solar energy but would rather concentrate on Renewable Natural Gas. Certainly this is a much closer commodity to their expertise in oil and gas than Renewable Electricity. Does anyone have any information on the comparative amount of energy produced by a Biostream in 24 hours vs. a wind turbine. The initial unit cost is very comparable at 1.5 million to 2 million dollars. My guess is that a fully active biostream would produce many more RNG energy units than a single fully active wind turbine produces electrricity energy units. One thing for sure, the biostream will produce energy 24/7 as the cows have a tendency to poop 24/7 and the resultant RNG can be stored and transported in existing infrastructure until it is needed. . The wind turbine--only if the wind is blowing, and there is no way to store the electricity that is produced unless you build batteries to store it. The carbon cost of producing and disposing of batteries in addition to the mining of lithium is a bit counter intuitive to the goal or decreasing negatvie environmental impact. If there is no immediate need for the electrricy--the turbine is shut down. I cannot believe that 18 wind turbines in 24 hours would produce anything close to the amount of energy that 18 biostreams would produce. Would appreciate anyone's expertise on this question.

Welm are they not sayong that the wind turbines in the North sea have not had wind for a month now? I guess that is the big variable.
