BLDW is proving to be a fantastic alternative energy play.

With their aim to be a one stop commercial source for all your alternative energy needs, it appears based on the chart that investors like where the company is headed.




$IFTF$

$BLDW has life changing potential in the emerging and inevitable renewable energy market. $BLDW has established their brand new subsidiary,Green City Planet, for the sale and installation of LED lighting, a rapidly growing and inevitable market, not just domestically, but internationally as well. $BLDW looks like they're setting up to be a "one stop shop" for everything alternative energy.

The two most recent PR's from $BLDW show that Green City Planet has already landed multiple contracts in a very short time to sell and install LED lighting.... equals $$REVENUES$$. greencityplanet.com

Green City Planet has already completed its first LED lighting installation in a fine dining chain, located in CITYCENTRE in Houston, TX.


[Building Turbines, Inc., has signed a contract with The FreshBrew Group of Houston, TX to do a complete lighting retrofit of their 90,000 sq-ft warehouse, manufacturing facility, executive offices and all other interior and exterior lighting with cost saving LED Lighting.



$BLDW is a REAL company with multiple streams of revenue, with the fact that $BLDW already has patented rooftop turbines designed for commercial buildings. If you look at Green City Planet's website, greencityplanet.com, listed you will see LED lighting, turbines, and solar coming soon?????

With a float of only 10M, a steadily increasing market cap, and revenues continually increasing from multiple sources, $BLDW is an excellent mid-long term investment. This can be a life changer for smart investors who know how to trade in profitable situations.

GESI is another alternative energy stock to keep on your radar. I see BLDW mentioned in here a bit, and I agree with the posters that its a solid company with good moral standings (I've spoken with them a few times). So, I'm sure the BLDW posters in here can back me up when I mention GESI. Why's that? They're building a waste to energy facility in Canada and their source of fuel is free, courtesy of national railroads giving them their railroad ties.

Why would railroad companies do such a thing? Because its cheaper to give it to a company that will dispose of them rather than to store them somewhere or pay someone to store them.

What makes this even better is that the site where this is being built is right on the railroad, so getting fuel there will be easier than ever. I should also mention that there's tax incentives & carbon credits out the wazoo coming their way given the nature of their business.

The only byproduct of gasification is nutrient rich ash that can be sold back on the market as fertilizer, or additives for other products.

This is a safe, effective, and much needed way of handling waste and generating much needed electricity to Alberta.

Stop on by the GESI board if you're interested and care to read up. There's plenty of DD there to read, but we'd also love the extra company too :) If you're more on the shy side, just drop me a PM instead. I'll be nice!

Thanks!

BLDW: Wind Energy in Hot Sector.

News today.

Industry News: Google and Warren Buffet Invest Billions Into Wind Energy; BLDW Has Potential to Attract Major Players Tweet PrintAlert
Building Turbines, Inc. (PC) (USOTC:BLDW)
Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Monday 3 June 2013

Building Turbines, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLDW), a designer and manufacturer of patented, innovative commercial rooftop wind turbine systems has received further validation of the earning potential, visibility, and ecological importance of the emerging wind energy market on the heels of Google Corp.'s research division "Google X" and Warren Buffet's announcements of recent, sizable investments into the wind energy companies.
Google X recently announced that they have acquired California based Makani Power for $110 Million. Makani produces energy through cable tethered "flying wings" and represents Google's interest in developing alternative wind energy with a sizable dollar investment. Since 2010 Google's research division has made 11 renewable energy investments of comparable sizes including $200 Million into "Spinning Spur" wind farm in the Texas panhandle and investments into Atlantic Wind Connection for offshore grids designed to capitalize off wind energy.
Legendary mogul Warren Buffet has recently been dubbed a leader in wind energy investments after spending $1.9 Billion on wind farm projects in Iowa and has been well known for his investments into the alternative energy sector in the past two years. Additionally, his megastar energy company MidAmerican began building wind turbines in 2004 bringing his current total investments in wind energy to date to $5.4 Billion.
"BLDW sees promise in market trends which lean to the most successful investors the world has ever seen taking interest in their market. With Texas being the number one state in America for wind energy harvesting and production the idea of major players snooping about for companies to acquire has gone from small business dream to big market trend. Especially exciting is that our turbines are DG (distributed generation), meaning the power is produced where it is consumed, not in some field or over the ocean," according to John Graham, CEO
About Building Turbines, Inc.

Based in Austin, Texas, Building Turbines, Inc. is focused on the design and manufacture of patented rooftop wind turbines, as well as vertically integrating into other renewable energy solutions to complete the total green energy solution for an urban environment.

Keys to yesterdays GESI's update released:

Green Energy Solution Industries Announces Conclusion for Renewable Energy Project Funding

"...GESI’s project funding has been confirmed."

"We have secured the funds to complete and pursue this Joint Venture with GESI..."

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=57013188

There it is in black and white, confirmed, completed, concluded. What was this funding agreement again?

"...$50M irrevocable funding, for the construction of a gasification facility which will utilize waste railway ties for production of Green Electricity in Alberta, Canada. "

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=55746757

Say that out loud to yourself right now: $50 MILLION EQUITY FUNDING AGREEMENT!

So, why build a gasification facility to produce electricity?
"...to achieve a projected $9,000,000 (Canadian Dollars) revenue from sales of electricity through peak pricing through direct marketing of the energy by application and participation as a direct wholesale market participant for sales of electricity into the Alberta market."

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=52759118

A $50 million asset coupled with at a potential of $9 million in revenue generated annually...it becomes easier to see the big picture valuation potential for GESI as a long term investment. And this is only taking into consideration one gasification facilty. We haven't even touched on expansion once this first facility is up and running.

BLDW announces successful completion of first sale and installation of LED lights with its partner company, ATG-LED. Paul Getty is doing an excellent job landing contracts for this company. IMO this is just scratching the surface.

Also announcing the completion of six studies at two universities in the state of Texas. Not willing to release the details of the research for future pending patents IMO could be the start of something big. Renewable energy is an emerging, competitive market, and if BLDW can establish a niche market with a unique product, then the sky is the limit.

I agree 100% ,if you are still on Ihub . I dont live in a cabin but I DO pay cash and dont use credit , I take my lumps without crying if i mess up , And I do green things but not for the "O-ZONE" reasons mostly to save money (Greed) ! But I also think the country is on the wronge path like he was sorta saying .GLTY

Theres a link in the box to pink and OTC energy plays . Hows it going for ya jcl ? Hope all is good .

MMTE and Lithium: are they a major part of the energy equation?

Peak oil is a farce to steal your hard earned dollars through the oil cartels, haven't most people learned this already?

Alternative energies for the majority of things is... well not going to cut it.

What powers factories that make, lets say glass bottles? Their furnaces run on natural gas.

What about the train industry? They are fueled by coal.

What about all of the plastics you handle on a regular basis? That too is a petro product. Which, in its own right accounts for 99% of the products you use on a daily basis.

After Honshu / Fukushima incident, Nuclear power has proven, on a civilian level - it is far too disastrous and man has not fully harnessed the power to prevent criticality in an emergency. We still will not know the full impacts from this until several years and or generations down the road.

Wind power is expensive, requires massive amounts of land and for all intensive purposes becomes a nuisance for the community.

Solar power is a great item when done on a private level, but for use in a national power grid? I am skeptical. The panels must be replaced ever 3-5 years and the batteries, very similar to car batteries, too must be replaced frequently. This equates into an expensive alternative.

And lithium? Don't even get me started. On a small scale works wonders for small hand held devices... powering a car? The batters are bulky and heavy. The cars themselves are pricey which prices it out of the 'average mans' ability to acquire as well. And not just that, but lithium is heavily regulated and expensive to extract and refine.

None of these 'sources' of energy (outside of nuclear power) can touch what gas/oil/coal can do. It's just the plain simple truth... Best part of all is that it is made from organic material, or what were once living organisms.... as long as the earth stays alive, we'll have plenty of oil for generations to come. Peak oil is a scam, plain and simple.

Well ... I like this board . Somewhere in that list above is the future . The one or a couple . I like solar but it does not generate enough per panel yet . Nat gas would make a good bridge fuel but like oil will someday dwindle away . I really like wind , unclear on drawbacks . I am investing in lithium at the moment cause not only do we need better ways to generate electric but better ways to store it as well . I once thought about it like this ( a alcaline battery is like a leaky gas tank ) . But even lithium is a bridge as I see generation at point of use as the goal . My current pink play on lithium mining I'm happy with but wandered if anyone here has any with less risk then a pink for my sons portfolio?

'Tilting at windmills: the boy who harnessed the wind'

Malawian teenager William Kamkwamba built a generator out of a bicycle and tractor fan. Now he's lauded by environmentalists

John Vidal The Guardian, Saturday 3 October 2009

http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2009/oct/03/malawian-teenager-builds-wind-turbine


Reaching for the skies: Kamkwamba, 14, fine tunes his invention. Photograph: Flickr

Back in 2001 William Kamkwamba was a semi-educated 14-year-old Malawian who had been forced to drop out of secondary school when, during a terrible drought, his parents could no longer pay for him to go. This week, he has been in California and Chicago on a whirlwind book tour, hailed as a "genius" and appeared on TV chat shows. He has been the toast of international technology conferences, lauded by Al Gore and environmentalists and shared a stage with Bono and Google co‑founder Larry Page – as well as co-writing a book about his life, with journalist Bryan Mealer.

When Kamkwamba stopped going to school because his family could no longer afford the fees, he went to his local library, read up on his science, found a DIY guide to making a wind generator and set about trying to build it. Using a tractor fan, shock absorbers, PVC pipes, a bicycle frame and anything else he could lay his hands on, he then built a rudimentary wooden tower, plonked his home-made generator on the top, and eventually got one, and then four bulbs to light up. He is now known as "the boy who harnessed the wind" – the title of his book.

"I managed to teach myself about how motors and electricity worked. Another book featured windmills on the cover, and said they were used to pump water and generate power. I was so inspired I began collecting scrap metal and old bicycle and tractor pieces. Many people, including my mother, thought I was crazy," he wrote in his blog this week.

Kamkwamba is presented to the west as the "humble hero", an extraordinary Malawian who has overcome everything to improve his family's situation, but the reality is that most of Africa, India and the developing world depends on equally innovative and inventive people coming up with ways to make a living with no cash and next to no resources.

In Katine, the Ugandan village which the Guardian supports, the weekly market sees Joseph with the bicycle he has adapted to become a knife sharpener; Matthew, who charges batteries with pedal power; and several women who strip plastic sacking to weave strong rope. The shells shot by the Sudanese army into Nuba territory in the late 1980s have all been collected and been beaten into farm tools, as have the tanks and guns handed in by soldiers after the Sierra Leone war in 2002. Mosquito nets throughout Africa now double as fishing nets. Masai villagers have devised a simple water distillation process by placing pipes over volcanic steam vents. Elsewhere in Africa, people make low-cost batteries from aluminium cans and plastic water bottles. Many Malawian and Congolese communities have devised ingenious ways to lift water from rivers and wells for irrigation.

How many British blacksmiths could fashion a tool which makes curved bricks to build round houses, as they do in Kenya? And how many IT managers could set up a DIY Wi-Fi phone network? In Tanzania, groups of women are learning to make and then adapt fireless cookers insulated with old clothes which save cutting down trees and can improve the air quality in their homes.

The Gingira district, just outside Dhaka in Bangladesh, is one of the world's least-known technological hotspots. Here, thousands of untrained people use rudimentary tools in small workshops (which would be condemned in Britain as unsafe) to make and copy everything from sophisticated car parts to watches and high fashion. Markets in Ghana, Senegal and South Africa are full of metal artists who take old pesticide cans and turn them into artworks, toys and gadgets.

Meanwhile, villagers in southern Bangladesh have found how to weave together water hyacinths to make large floating gardens on which they can grow food when their land is flooded. Sudanese innovators have developed what looks like a metal syringe to extract the seed pods from hibiscus plants because the flowers earn more money if the petals are left intact. Nepalese villages have developed gravity-driven rope ways which can move tonnes of produce several miles up and down steep mountainsides without electricity.

William Kamkwamba is the sort of child who would be welcomed to the Barefoot college in India, set up by educationalist Sanjit "Bunker" Roy. This takes some of the poorest, most uneducated people and taps into their traditional knowledge and practical resourcefulness to train them to become water and solar engineers. So far, 15,000 people have learned to become "barefoot" engineers, architects and teachers. "These grassroots technologists have solar-electrified thousands of houses and installed handpumps in places that urban engineers say would not be technically possible. The college has now opened in seven other countries," says Roy.

Kamkwamba shows that innovation and resourcefulness are not lacking in the poorest countries, so much as the financial or physical resources, says Simon Trace, the chief executive of Practical Action, the charity founded by "small is beautiful" development expert Fritz Schumacher. "The technologies are mostly available. The main problem is improving people's access to them," he says.

DOE Releases Groundbreaking Marine and Hydrokinetic Technology Database:

January 05, 2009
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program has developed and released a database that provides up-to-date information on marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy in the United States and around the world.

The database represents a groundbreaking effort in terms of breadth and depth of information on companies, technologies, and projects within the marine and hydrokinetic industry. The database includes wave, current, and ocean thermal energy conversion technologies. The fully searchable database allows the user to search among both technology types and specific projects, based on a number of criteria including geographical location, resource type, and technology stage or project status. Users can easily access details on a device or project's size, dimensions, and mooring methods, as well as project details, including information on permitting, power purchase agreements, partnerships, or even an interactive GPS mapping feature that allows the user to pinpoint certain project locations worldwide.

The database Web site also includes a marine and hydrokinetic technology glossary that features standard definitions co-developed by DOE and the Mineral Management Services (U.S. Department of the Interior) for technologies within the three central applications of wave, current, and ocean thermal.

At a glance, the database indicates that the marine and hydrokinetic industry is present in approximately 28 countries, with the majority of companies worldwide based in the United Kingdom and the United States. In the United States alone, there are approximately 47 companies, universities, and/or municipalities developing various technologies or projects. Of these, 30 are developing wave and current technologies, with an almost even split between the two resource applications. The database also indicates that 29 U.S. companies, universities, and/or municipalities have projects planned or underway within the United States or abroad. Within the United States, 192 projects have applied for initial permitting, and 11 have had devices undergo partial or full deployment.

Economic Stabilization Bill Includes Clean Energy Tax Incentives

President Bush signed the $700 billion Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (H.R. 1424) into law last week, which also extended and enhanced critical tax credits and financing relating to renewable energy and energy efficiency. The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008, which was attached to H.R. 1424, provides a one-year extension of the production tax credit (PTC) for wind energy, keeping the credit in effect through 2009. The bill also provides a two-year PTC extension, through 2010, for electricity produced from geothermal, biomass, and solar energy facilities, as well as trash-to-energy facilities, small hydropower facilities using irrigation water, capacity additions to existing hydropower plants, and hydropower facilities added to existing dams. In addition, the bill creates a new PTC for electricity produced by marine and hydrokinetic renewable energy systems (also called advanced water power systems) with a rated capacity of at least 150 kilowatts and placed in service by 2011. To help on the financing end, the bill authorizes $800 million in new Clean Renewable Energy Bonds for all of the above technologies. See the White House press release.


The solar energy industry expects the new tax incentives to encourage the construction of large solar power facilities, such as this 64-megawatt concentrating solar power plant near Boulder City, Nevada.

While the PTC extensions and enhancements are good news for all major renewable energy sources, arguably the biggest winner in the tax bill is solar energy, which gained an 8-year extension (through 2016) of the 30% tax credit for residential and commercial solar installations, as well as the elimination of the $2,000 tax credit cap for residential solar electric installations. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) expects the creation of more than 440,000 jobs and the generation of at least $325 billion in private investment due to those changes, which should yield more than 28 gigawatts of solar power. The Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) also sees huge potential growth in a measure that allows electric utilities to take advantage of these tax credits. In addition, small wind power gained a 30% tax credit, up to $4,000 for wind turbines with capacities of 100 kilowatts or less, which is also good through 2016. The tax credits for fuel cells and microturbines are also extended by 8 years, and the fuel cell tax credit limit is tripled, to $1,500 for each 0.5 kilowatts of capacity. The act also creates a new 10% tax credit for certain combined heat and power systems and for geothermal heat pumps (up to $2,000). In addition, the bill also provides accelerated depreciation for utilities installing smart meters and smart grid systems. See the press releases from SEIA and SEPA (PDF 33 KB). Download Adobe Reader.

In terms of energy efficiency and alternative fuels, the act extends and revives a number of energy efficiency tax incentives for buildings, creates new tax credits for efficient vehicles, and extends and modifies tax credits for biofuels. Specifically, it extends energy efficiency tax deductions for commercial buildings through 2013 and revives similar deductions for home improvements installed in 2009, adding a new $300 tax credit for energy-efficient biomass fuel stoves. It also extends tax credits for builders of new energy-efficient homes through 2009 and increases tax credits for manufacturers of energy-efficient appliances, while extending that credit through 2010. The act creates a new tax credit of up to $7,500 for plug-in hybrid vehicles, which are expected to go on sale in 2010, while providing tax exemptions for idle reduction technologies and advanced insulation installed in trucks. The act also extends a 30% tax credit for alternative fuel refueling facilities through 2010 and expands the credit to include electric charging stations. For biofuel producers, the act extends a 50% first-year depreciation for cellulosic biomass ethanol plants to include any plant producing biofuels from cellulosic (non-food) biomass sources. The act also extends through 2009 a PTC of $1 per gallon for biodiesel and other biomass-based diesel fuels and a credit of 10 cents per gallon for small biodiesel producers, but it cuts the PTC for renewable diesel blended with petroleum to 50 cents per gallon, while closing a loophole that allowed foreign producers to earn a U.S. tax credit. See the press releases from the ACEEE and the National Biodiesel Board.

To help individuals take advantage of all the tax credits, Division C of H.R. 1424 increases the income limits for the Alternative Minimum Tax, while the energy tax provision allows unused tax credits to be carried over to the next tax year. And to help finance energy efficiency improvements, the bill authorizes $800 million in Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds, which will be issued by state and local governments. The bonds can be applied to a wide range of energy efficiency projects, research and demonstration projects, and even renewable energy projects. The bill also extends the authority to issue bonds for qualified green building and sustainable design projects through 2012. See the Division B and C of H.R. 1424, and for comparison, see Subparts A, D, and E of Part IV of Subchapter A of Chapter 1 of the existing Internal Revenue Code (posted by the Cornell University Law School), as well as Section 168 of Part VI of Subchapter B.

I agree. They are all taking a hit right now. Bad timing.

Hey Quick and everyone.I believe when the dust settles the alternative energy stocks in specific sectors will kick azz.Right now I am mainly cash as I have been all year.I do not fight the public perception/liquidity in the markets.Rather have greenbacks(I think).Have told many all year cash is king.Bob

CGYV 2.74, +0.01, +0.4%) ("China Energy Recovery" or "CER"), a leader in the waste-heat energy recovery sector of the alternative energy industry, today announced that the company has entered into a design service contract with Sinochem Fuling Chongqing Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. ("Sinochem Fuling") for the detailed engineering design of a 30 MW Heat Recovery Power Generation System. The value of the design service contract is estimated to be RMB 960,000 (approximately $140,000 as of the date of this press release). The announcement was made by the Chairman and CEO of China Energy Recovery, Mr. Qinghuan Wu.
China Energy Recovery announced that Shanghai HAIE Hi-tech Engineering Co., Ltd., its operating affiliate, is to provide detailed engineering design services to Sincochem Fuling for a heat energy recovery retrofit project for its 1.2 million metric ton per year sulfuric acid production facility in Chongqing, China. The retrofit project is to integrate two sets of low temperature heat recovery systems (HRS) provided by MECS, Inc. with whom CER works together to deploy low temperature heat energy recovery systems for sulfuric acid production facilities in China. The contract will also include engineering design to install two sets of related power generation equipment with a total power generation capacity of 30 MW. Sinochem Fuling will use the heat energy recovered partially in the form of steam, which will be redirected into its production process. The remaining recovered heat will be used to generate electricity, which will be sold to the power grid to generate additional revenue for Sinochem Fuling
Sinochem Fuling, located in Chongqing in southwest China, is a key fertilizer production subsidiary of Sinochem Corporation, a Fortune Global 500 company and one of the largest state-owned enterprises in China. Sinochem Fuling has applied for Clean Development Mechanism certification on this project, in order to monetize the carbon credits that will be created from the new heat recovery systems.
"We are very pleased that Sinochem Fuling has selected China Energy Recovery to provide the detailed engineering design services to install the low temperature HRS systems of MECS for their sulfuric acid production plant in Chongqing, China," stated Mr. Qinghuan Wu, Chairman and CEO of China Energy Recovery, "With our engineering capability and experience in heat energy recovery systems and the low temperature heat recovery systems of MECS, this system is expected to play an important role in reducing overall costs of operations for Sinochem Fuling by allowing it to sell recovered electricity back into the grid and monetize carbon credits created from this project. This demonstrates CER's desire to continue to provide more design services for our customers, which produce an attractive gross margin for CER."
What is Waste Heat Energy Recovery?
Industrial facilities and power plants release significant amounts of excess heat into the atmosphere in the form of hot exhaust gases or high-pressure steam. Energy recovery is the process of recovering vast amounts of that wasted energy and converting it into usable electricity, dramatically lowering energy costs. Energy recovery systems are also capable of capturing the majority of carbon emissions and other harmful pollutants that would otherwise be released into the environment. It is estimated that energy recovery systems installed in U.S. industrial facilities could produce up to 20% of U.S. electricity needs without burning any additional fossil fuel, and could help many industries to meet stringent environmental regulations.

An Energy Star campaign to promote the recycling of refrigerators has resulted in an art exhibit that is filling the Great Hall of the National Building Museum with old refrigerators. "The Art of Recycling: The Coolest Act in Town" exhibit opened on August 25 and features about 50 old refrigerators that have been decorated by students, institutions, utility companies, private organizations, and individuals. Visitors to the exhibit can vote on the models they like best, and a panel of judges will select the top three entries based on which is the coolest, makes the best use of recycled materials, is the most creative, and portrays the campaign theme best. The exhibit continues through September 2, at which time the winners of the judges' awards and the "Viewer's Choice" awards will be recognized. Located in Washington, D.C., the National Building Museum serves as a venue for informed, reasoned debate about the built environment and its impact on people's lives. See the DOE press release and the National Building Museum Web site.

The exhibit is part of the Recycle My Old Fridge Campaign, an Energy Star campaign that encourages people to recycle their old refrigerators and freezers and, if necessary, replace them with new Energy Star-qualified models. That old fridge that's keeping the beverages cool in your basement could be costing you well over $100 per year to operate, as could the relatively newer fridge sitting in your kitchen. Recycling unnecessary fridges and upgrading other fridges to the latest Energy Star models could dramatically cut your electricity bill. The Energy Star program is a joint effort of DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and as of April 28, all new Energy Star-qualified refrigerators must be at least 20% more energy efficient than fridges meeting the minimum federal standard. If all the pre-1993 refrigerators in the United States were replaced with Energy Star-rated models, the electricity saved would be enough to power more than 8.1 million homes. See the Recycle My Old Fridge campaign Web site and the Energy Star Refrigerators & Freezers Web page.

Hey Quick,Whatz up?Doing my part.Just got rid of one of my gas guzzlin Jeeps for a hot little subaru impreza.It is the first sporty subaru I have ever seen.Not the regular impreza,the hatchback.The 2.99 chrysler/jeep gas promo is a joke.They cut all the incentives.I told them to take a walk after buying 6 jeeps over the years.Enjoy the rest of the summer.Bob :)

US Department of Energy Sets Targets For Cellulosic Ethanol feedstock Goals:

The DOE has set a goal to validate a high quality feedstock supply of celluloses biomass of 130 dry tons per year by 2012 and 250 million tons per year by 2117. Furthermore their goals define feedstock target costs (i.e. harvesting, storage, preprocessing, and transportation [excluding the cost paid for biomasss]) of $0.37 per gallon in 2012 and $0.33 per gallon in 2017.... Of the 245 million tons of waste generated annually in the United States, at least 50% is cellulosic biomass, representing a potential feedstock source of 120 millon tons of feedstock per year.

CleanTech BioFuels’ (CLTH.OB) Innovative waste-to-energy technology provides an economically viable process of converting garbage into a sustainable feedstock for clean local sourced energy!

Due to decreasing availability of landfill space, the cost for municipalities to dispose of curbside trash has and will continue to increase over time. As a result, CLTH receives “Tipping fees” for landfill waste diverted into their system, which in turn permits CLTH to generate carbon credits and produce ethanol at costs substantially below the costs for producing ethanol from corn or other feed stocks!

Having recently received extremely positive results in preliminary testing and conclusive final results expected shortly
CLTH is positioned with a unique technology package to be the industry leader using Municipal Solid Waste (”MSW”) for energy production. Utilizing CleanTech Biofuel’s licensed technology (estimated conversion rate: 52 gallons of ethanol p/ ton of MSW), MSW represents a potential fuel source of over 6.5 billion gallons of ethanol per year. Correspondingly the Company is in discussions with cities in top 5 of population to co-develop municipal biorefineries CLTH’s licensed technology which will:

*Reduce the costs of transporting waste long distances for disposal.
*Dramatically reduce pollution released into the environment by the disposal of municipal solid waste.
*Reduce the amount of material going into landfills by as much as 85%.
*Increase the amount of recyclable materials that can be recovered from municipal solid waste.
*Generate biofuels and other usable energy products at competitive prices.

lithium ion batteries

Hi folks, who makes the best lithium ion batteries?

TIA

Thank you. It has been added.

ADD to ibox please. Great info for everybody into ALTERNATIVE ENERGY.

ARSC

Watch ARSC for continued upward movement (with occassional profit-taking days) for the
rest of this year.

ARSC is in the Alternative Energies industry, and the hydrogen fuel cell sector.

ARSC is exiting R&D stage, and entering commercialization and production (revenue)
stage.

ARSC is presently trading at a $9.165M marketcap (extremely undervalued for a company at
this stage, in this industry and sector).

(ARSC has been a heavily beaten down stock due to a patent infringement lawsuit, which
plaintiff (Relion) has recently requested such lawsuit be dropped).

ARSC is IMO a strong buy and hold at this time,



(Always do your own DD when buying stocks. KNOW what you own, so that you cannot be
shaken out of your shares by unscrupulous, experienced, subtle bashers and 'pick
pockets'.)

futrcash

if this becomes real you'll hear a lot less about that first line except maybe in the way you hear about homebuilders in the US today :O)

All I hear from the media "coal, natural gas, bio fuels, ethanol, and plug in hybrids.

THEY DONT TALK ABOUT FUEL CELLS AND SOLAR!

Fuel cells will be our transportation energy. Solar will be for residential and commercial use.

Cold Fusion (re)Produced

Scientist Creates Cold Fusion for the First Time in Decades


cold fusion, the act of producing a nuclear reaction at room temperature, has long been relegated to science fiction after researchers were unable to recreate the experiment that first "discovered" the phenomenon. But a Japanese scientist was supposedly able to start a cold fusion reaction earlier this week, which—if the results are real—could revolutionize the way we gather energy.

Yoshiaki Arata, a highly respected physicist in Japan, demonstrated a low-energy nuclear reaction at Osaka University on Thursday. In front of a live audience, including reporters from six major newspapers and two tv studios, Arata and a co-professor Yue-Chang Zhang, produced excess heat and helium atoms from deuterium gas.

Arata used pressure to force deuterium gas into an evacuated cell that contained a palladium and zirconium oxide mix(ZrO2-Pd). Arata said that the mix caused the deuterium's nuclei to fuse, raising the temperature in the cell and keeping the center of the cell warm for 50 hours.

Arata's experiment would mark the first time anyone has witnessed cold fusion since 1989, when Martin Fleishmann and Stanely Pons supposedly observed excess heat during electrolysis of heavy water with palladium electrodes. When they and other researchers were unable to make it work again, cold fusion became synonymous with bad science.

But the method Arata showed was "highly reproducible," according to eye witnesses of the event. If nobody calls this demonstration out as a sham, Arata might have finally found the holy grail of cheap and abundant energy—nuclear power, without its destructive heat. [Physicsworld via Slashdot]

Lets hope the Hurricanes stay away from the Gulf:
Up to 9 Hurricanes Predicted for 2008
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY,The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season could be slightly busier than average, with a good chance of six to nine hurricanes forming, federal forecasters said Thursday in a new way of making predictions Hurricane Season
Predictions1 of 4 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season could be a little busier than average, with six to nine hurricanes forming. The agency said there could be 12 to 16 named storms this season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30.
Click through to see how accurate past predictions have been.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials also said 12 to 16 named storms and two to five major hurricanes could form.

They said there is only a 60 to 70 percent chance for their predictions to come true, the first time officials gave a probability. They took that step following years of criticism of their long range forecasts, which have usually been fairly accurate but in some cases have been way off.

For example, government forecasters expected 12 to 15 named storms in 2005, but there turned out to be 28, the busiest season on record.

Forecasters stress that residents should always be prepared no matter what the seasonal forecasts say, because even a slow season can be disastrous. The government's seasonal forecasts don't predict whether, where or when any of these storms may hit land.

Gerry Bell, the agency's lead forecaster for Atlantic hurricanes, said probabilities were included because people had come to rely too much on the forecasts. "Basically it was interpreted as a 100 percent chance," he said.

In History1 of 12 Hurricane Wilma in 2005 was the most intense hurricane ever. It measured 882 millibars, the lowest pressure on record. There were 27 named Atlantic storms that year, also a record.

An average season has 11 named storms, including six hurricanes of which two reach major status with winds of more than 110 mph. This year should be about average or slightly more active, forecasters said.

Forecasters and emergency responders fear that coastal residents will be apathetic this year after the United States escaped the past two storm seasons virtually unscathed.

"Living in a coastal state means having a plan for each and every hurricane season. Review or complete emergency plans now - before a storm threatens," said Conrad C. Lautenbacher, NOAA administrator. "Planning and preparation is the key to storm survival and recovery."

Colorado State University weather researcher William Gray expects 15 named storms, eight hurricanes and four major this year.

Last year, there were 15 named storms and six hurricanes, two of which were major. The government predicted 13 to 17 named storms, seven to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes.

Gray was further off the mark. Before the start of the season, he forecast 17 named storms, including nine hurricanes, five of them major.

The Atlantic season begins June 1 and runs through Nov. 30.

It's $4.20 here in Southern CT. Every morning I looked up for past 2 weeks and it was like 5-10 cents higher. I can just picture the gas station owner with the ladder in his hand everynight waiting to change the prices. lol

Was playing the Gold Put Options after it hit 1000. Been laying back for a couple months now.

I have read that also.Good old retiring to FLA isn't what it used to be.Everything is to expensive.I read a article that in some places like Panama City their are whole communities of Americans mainly late 40's and up.The last 2/3 years have really strained the Middle class.Bob :)
