yah youd think 1 of these religions would take the lead and try and steal
the show
with a very agressive price point, but I guess the simple truth is the
vanagom market
for conversion is way to small for any economies of scale..
for end users I wish the conversion market was not so fragmented and we
could get
a conversion to a reliable power plant, at 3500-4k price point maybe 5k tops
done deal drive away price
