		<description>Polaris operates a third worls class facility. I perceive Polaris operation in Nicaragua as a method to increase market value in their stock, then he big share holders will cash it and run. The plant is very poorly done and do not show a potential. The company as an organization should be analyze very carefully.</description>

		<description>Obviously the threat to expropriate Polaris' single asset is rather scary.

Notable is that Polaris is not the only one to receive such a notice.  Ormat also received the same kind of notice but did not share the news with its shareholders.  Of course Ormat has many other properties, is insured against expropriation and would not be devastated by loss of its Momotombo geothermal power plant.  Ormat restored the productivity of the Momotombo plant after the geothermal resource had been misused for years by not replenishing the water  extracted from the aquifer.

According to one poster, the real target was the Spanish company buying power from Polaris and others.

In any case Nicaragua would be doing terrific harm to itself by expropriating Polaris' assets.  Development of Nicaragua's geothermal resources promises to make Nicaragua energy independent with the greenest of all alternative energies.  Hardly impossible politicians would do such a thing but not terribly likely I think.

JMO.
