Thanks for the reply funkstuff,

Where do you come up with the prediction of an easy 30T at $10,000/kg?

I imagine that until there is a paradigm shift for batteries, that the actual demand for nano-silicon will be quite low and that HPQ will draw it's initial profits from chomping into the current world market.....That is a good thing though, as it would allow HPQ to be the defacto nano-silicon provider going forward from there.

Perhaps from there, the next step would be to determine how to take it to the next level and make massive profits on massive amounts, because realistically, 50T per year at $25/kg initially is not enough in my opinion..... We will need to be looking at kilotons and megatons for the battery market.

Cheers!
