All the numbers looked better than last quarter and last year. Revenue will continue to increase. DOE loan is a done deal in my opinion. Grants would a nice icing on the cake. The company has accomplished a lot in the last 3 quarters and continues to make good progress. Only negative is we seem to be stuck with our disfunctional investor relations/public relations department. We are now clients of IRG but Gene Hunt's name is all over the place. I wish the company would clarify what his role is. Nice guy but totally untalented for the role he's put in. If you followed the company for the last 5+ years you'd know why he doesn't have a good sense at all in what it takes to do effective investor/public relations which is much more than monitoring message boards, getting some magazine interviews (without pressing to have the stock symbol there so it shows up on the right newswires), and answering emails which in many cases meant spilling the beans and helping the short sellers inadvertendly. I have a whole list of examples why we as a company f'ed up in this area and I don't just blame one person. It's our entire management team that are clueless when it comes to this area and they rely on Gene's expertise which is simply not there in my opinion because he doesn't seem to have a talent for it. He has talent for other things. Maybe he should be working for Marketing. Regardless, we have IRG, we give them money and stock options or warrants (I assume) but the same old mentality that I belive hurt us so many times is still in power:
- check today's press release.
- Gene is still doing investor relations talking to investors and having stuff published on message boar (as of 3 days ago).
- And if you don't believe me, check out the website to find out who's really in charge of: Investor Relations and Corporate Communications.

IRG should be put fully in control of this area. These people have talent for the job. They're professionals at it. To them, strategy is not just lip service. They can advise and educate our management on what good IR/PR/CC is all about but our management seems to be stuck in the status quo, emotional attachment, or something that makes no sense to me whatsoever.
