Mr. Schmidt, innovation is the idea of improving an existing market need in a new way and the creation of new value through solutions that meet new market needs in new ways. There's nothing new about shale extraction; it has been around since the 1920s. Laricina's idea doesn't sound particularly new to me either. In the 1970s, the Illinois Institute of Technology was working on this idea, so it has been in the works for about 40 years.
My question is more specific to the electrical demand of your process versus, say, the geothermic fuel cells process of shale extraction that uses waste heat. Do you have figures comparing your process and the geothermic fuel cells process?
