And this is not a prediction.

Also, as the potential RoF related News is very promising and anticipation of excitement may be building in this regard, the Global Banking Solutions, I believe, are of First Order Importance and will be the REAL underlying catalyst to potential Major Strides in the progression of events we are ALL awaiting with respect to the RoF, and with respect to Noront Resources, more specifically.

For a broad view of this anticipation Building see several recent posts on the SPQ main Discussion Forum and one earlier today on the SPQ Off Topic Forum.

PS: The Lithium/Vanadium discussion is interesting, BUT the near term meaningful First Use application is most likely the significant use for such Battery (electricity) Storage Technology in association with Thermal Electric Power Production.

Why?

Lead time in ramping up daily production to meet daily consumption usage. The ability to level out the Cycle and thus be more efficient. Lead Time to Lag Time in Peak daily production. Elimination of the daily need to Bleed Off production in excess of consumption, and the ever occuring interadtion between the two! Constant Production and Associated Efficiencies gained from such Constant Production.

Elimination of the Daily Production Cycle!

PPS: May REAL Labour ever remain more Productive and Efficient than the Financial System can ever imagine it's self pretending to be.
