"When an official infrastructure agreement and Environmental Permits come together then it will only help the cause."

You have to factor in where the market is at also. It doesn't matter if NOT can get it out of the ground cheaply, if demand is low so will investment interest be. No interest no sp increase. I don't think infrastructure and permits is quite sexy enough to motivate a climb of much substance when the market is shakey. One has to consider companies that are producing and making money with sp's that are in the dumpster in this market. How does NOT compare? What will they need to gain sex appeal?
