I noticed the comment of Ernest yesterday who wrote, “Getting a little bored.” I can understand that sentiment. There is not a great deal of public information about the E-Cat at the moment. However, I think that is not necessarily a bad thing.
I get the feeling that most of the business activity around the E-Cat is being handled by the new partner. Rossi is now describing the partner as the “Licensee” of Leonardo Corporation, and his own position as the chief scientist of the licensee. Andrea Rossi has always been a little unconventional about the way he handles information. He has used his JONP blog as a daily channel for public communication, but I think the licensee is dealing with things in a more traditional business way.
We don’t know who the partner is, but if they happen to be a publicly traded company, they have to be very controlled in the way they release information, following the established rules that cover public companies. Plus, from a strategic point of view, they will not want to be alerting potential competitors about their activities at this point.
We always want to know as much as possible about what is going on with the E-Cat, and I think that Andrea Rossi is always eager to give information to keep people interested (without divulging technical secrets). But it seems to me that things have changed, and Rossi has less freedom these days to talk about his activities. He is taking his new role seriously and does not want to jeopardize the success of this partnership, and so I think that we will be getting less news than normal from him.
So, I do understand why some people might be feeling a little bored.
