I'm interested in why you would rather hold out and get paid instead of taking the offer of the new note and the shares of stock.
Are you concerned that the business will fail in the next few years and want to cash out now?
Also, would it still be possible today to purchase the bonds in order to participate in this debt exchange?

Thx]]>

Freakonomics' Latest Adds Little to the Energy Debate http://seekingalpha.com/article/168077-freakonomics-latest-adds-little-to-the-energy-debate?source=feed#comment-725160 725160 If oil companies had invested even 10% of their CapEx into Solar, Wind and Battery technologies these last 15 yrs, I bet that by now the cost of energy would be lower and the world cleaner.

I don't understand why we would continue to use coal when we can concentrate on newer technologies. Coal was used centuries ago, lets move on. And nuclear sounds great in practice and has worked very well in my native France, but why use an energy source that could kill millions of people in the off chance of an accident when we have alternatives.]]>

Royale Energy: Textbook Illegal Trading? http://seekingalpha.com/article/89103-royale-energy-textbook-illegal-trading?source=feed#comment-223047 223047
CNEH, an oil company I'm invested in, has $.38/share earning in the TTM, and is about to announce about $.20/share for Q2, but they are only trading at about $4.35 right now. So how exactly is it the market makers faults that your stock went back down to a more realistic price?]]>

Drivers Are Feeling the Pinch http://seekingalpha.com/article/76709-drivers-are-feeling-the-pinch?source=feed#comment-165918 165918
Why are you so focused on increased production of oil instead of using that money to increase research and development of renewable technologies such as wind and solar power? Every dollar spent on discovering and producing oil depletes the amount of oil we have left to use, whereas that same dollar being invested into renewables will bring us closer to true "energy independence".

Drilling for more oil in places like ANWR and off the coast of Florida may help keep you and your generation happy, but future generations will be feeling the pain of our shortsightedness.

High oil prices are the best thing that could happen to us, because it will force us to change our habits and get us to really concentrate on developing cheap renewable energy!]]>

Where did you get the information about the actual timing on costs for drilling each well. On the boards we all were understanding that the total cost was only about $320k, split up in the following way: $100k up front and then the remaining $220k split up evenly between the next 24 months.
What you explained was different and if it is the case I am very interested in changing it in my models.]]>
