10X as difficult ? To go into production, or to get financing, or both? IMHO, this would only bode well for Silverado if it achieves both goals! Once financing is in place, it then becomes necessary to obtain all permits. Does anyone know if they presently have the permits required to begin production? I know it is one step at a time, but financing should be a lot easier to get if the permits are in place, and there are no environmental issues to be overcome. Financing, financing, financing has been the recent cry, but, without the permits, no production. Once in production, the sky is the limit. To quote Grim: " $$Ka Ching $$Ka Ching " Comments anyone?
