the question of ucg or not

Gentlemen and ladies, in my experience whether CXY has any involvement in UCG probably rests with whether the newcomers have sought restraints Against the former directors, and in this case Len.
It's certainly not unusual to have such legal restraints put on exiting directors (and senior managers). In my career I've had a couple.
I don't deal in guy feel but in facts but on this occasion I will hazard a guess that Robs time at Linc probably taught him the potential value of UCG. As such I doubt he would want to throw that away, but equally he'll not want to put money into it either, especially short term.
Blinderman and Len go together, even though Blindermand agreement will be with CXY not Len personally.
The use of another UCG technology can't be ruled out if you then think laterally. All Rob has to do is call on one of the other participants in this space.
In my opinion now is not the time to throw away each potential project but to keep the coal owners in international locations onside. What better way to break with Kingaroy than to use a different technology.
You'll recall that the lack of visibility of the science ( as written down ) was heavily criticised by the report writers. There's nowt wrong with practitioners rather than scientists, but sometimes scientists provide the apparent assurance funders require.
