IS IT TRUE that GAGE President Debbie Dewey has been getting some serious questions regarding GAGE’s recommendation that the City of Evansville make a $5 Million loan to Earthcare Energy?…that there have been questions regarding whether or not a working model exists, whether or not there is a license agreement with any substance behind it, who owns the patent Electratherm, Langson Energy, or Richard Langson, and what is Vectren’s role in this deal?…that Ms Dewey responded to such questioning with the following email?
“I am preparing a binder for each of you and hope to have it ready early next week. It will include answers that I have to questions you have been posing and provide copies of the back-up documents that I have. I am also working on scheduling a trip to personally see and touch the prototype unit in operation. Does anyone what to join me on a trip to Reno next week for this purpose?
The PPA with Vectren and the License Agreement with Langson are proprietary documents which the parties will not make public. Understandably, the terms might influence other potential customers and dealers with whom they are currently negotiating. This is a reasonable business position given the investor-owned entities involved. Vectren did confirm by letter that they are entering into a 20 year PPA; and we have requested a letter from Langson addressed to the Mayor which confirms the relationship with Earthcare. I have also asked if they could provide a copy of the agreement with Langson which has confidential portions hidden.
Please keep emailing questions as they arise and I will do everything possible to get the answers.
Debbie
Deborah D. Dewey, President
Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville”
IS IT TRUE that one good question to this response is just what on earth does touching a prototype have to do with verification of any legal issue that may exist or with verifying that a unit is installed and working anywhere?…that if the City of Evansville is dealing with a “Wizard of OZ” that the Wizard will put on a better show in OZ than his representative put on in Evansville last Monday night?…that what needs to be done is to find a prototype that is installed on a pipeline and producing electricity as it is claimed that it will?…that we are sure that somewhere within driving distance of Reno, NV that there is some competent engineering company that has the test equipment and knowledge that would be need to conduct this test?…that if there is indeed a prototype that is worth touching that is available to be tested then that is what should be done?…that we are certain that testing the output of a generator will cost considerably less that VETTING a hotel proposal as every elementary school windmill contest like KIDWIND in the country has to do such a test?
IS IT TRUE that the real question is just how on earth did a recommedation to the Evansville City Council from GAGE happen without the benefit of “touching” an actual prototype, witnessing and reviewing a testing of the device, and validating the legality of the technology that is supposedly licensed?…that any and all members of the GAGE Board of Directors who were party to such a recommendation should hang their heads over this now that a “touchy feely” trip is being planned?…that the elected officials on the board who are party to this (if they were indeed party to it) should join some members of the Evansville City Council in demanding some answers before going forward with funding a start-up business with little to show?
