History for ya:
In 1999 I worked with a company called Cryofuel Systems whose CEO was Dr John Barclay, thier Information Specialist was Mirek Skirpkowski and thier Corporate Attorney was Kirt Montague. They claimed to have dozens of LNG liquefaction units producing inside the Bowerman Landfill and the LNG was being used to fuel the landifll trucks.

NOPE. None of that was true, so they started over and renamed Cryofuel to Prometheus Energy where Kirt Montague became CEO while Dr John Barclay acted as Information Specialist and Mirek Skirpkowsi took the post of Advanced Development Manager. Prometheus claimed to have dozens of LNG liquefaction stations all over the Bowerman landfill, they claimed they were producing 5,000 gallons of LNG every day and supplying the landfill trucks.

NOPE. None of that was True.

Calls were made to the General Manager at Bowerman, the California Transit Authority, the Integrated Waste Management office of Orance County and the Operations manager at the Kiefer landfill as well as Prometheus HQ.

Prometheus only had one liquefaction station at Bowerman and it wasn’t producing any LNG according to the Transit Authority, Intgrated Waste Management office and the Bowerman GM.

Montague, Barclay and Skirpkowski haven’t changed thier mode of operation since thier days at Cryofuel Systems. These are cookie cutter scams.

Do the math.

Since when have we started referring to LNG as cleantech? Sure it’s cleaner than petroleum/gasoline, but cleantech? It is still a non renewable resource that only gets you to about 25% less GHG emissions than oil fuel.

Rick LeFaivre: ‘…profitability on a modest amount of investment with significant upside potential, vs. large project finance opportunities that require hundreds of millions of dollars to scale the business.”

Meanwhile, from a OVP-funded company:
“Complete Genomics’ prototype genome center will cost an estimated $75 million. Reid then plans to build a further 10 centers – for about $50 million apiece – in the U.S. and abroad over the next five years”

You can always count on OVP for prime-grade BS.
