E & D Services take note of US Secretary Chu’s Energy Challenge

November 3rd, 2009

At a recent independent summit E & D Officials met to listen to the recent remarks of US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu’s Energy Challenge.”

E & D Services convened at an independent assembly to listen to the new “Energy Challenge” posed by Secretary of Energy Steven Chu.

Speaking to a crowd of more than 700 on Friday, July 3rd  Secretary of Energy Steven Chu urged researchers to confront what he called “the energy challenge.”

E & D Officials have stated that indeed we were in front of trying times and for the first time in human history we possessed the ability to make meaningful decisions about our environment.

“For the first time in history, science has shown humans altering the destiny of our planet in a meaningful way,” he said. “We have to try to enlist some of the very best intellectual horsepower to deal with this.”

In a wide-ranging speech that touched on worldwide emissions, climbing global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and the rising sea level, Chu demonstrated how the energy challenge cuts across many areas and is intensely tied to our economic prosperity.

“But there’s reason for hope,” he said. “Scientists by their very nature have to be very optimistic… We can fix this.”

E & D Services President agreed with those statements and said that it started with a positive attitude. Optimism she insisted was much better than pessimism.

Pointing to historical examples of research easing global problems—including the invention of artificial fertilizer, which helped set off the so-called “green revolution”—Chu expressed his belief that science research would again come to the world’s aid.

“It was scientific discoveries that enabled the world to feed itself,” Chu said. Now, he continued, scientific discoveries can increase energy efficiency and develop improved means of generating clean energy.

“There are lots of really exciting things that people at SLAC can think about,” he said. “Research can spur incredible intellectual achievement. And in the field of energy, I think we can do some really great science. A physicist or applied mathematician can really start to drool at these problems.”

Chu, who received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in cooling and trapping atoms with laser light, is a former chair of the Stanford University physics department. Prior to becoming Secretary of Energy, he was a professor of physics and molecular and cellular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

E & D Services announced that all renewable energy projects would have continued options when seeking business development, and encouraged principals to seek out submission.

E & D Services seeks principals who wil combat pollution from abandoned mines

November 3rd, 2009

Officials from E & D Services identified key sites within the country that have been abandoned and may be causing environmental problems, E & D is seeking to help fix these problem sites with business plan options

E & D Officials identified a key site on the Spokane Indian Reservation earlier this week that poses a significant threat to visitors health in Washington State. E & D Officials have announced that principals seeking to better the environment by fixing pollution problem similar to that of Midnite Mine would have competitive business plan options available for principals looking to begin a project to combat this problem.

People who visit the Midnite Mine should limit their time there to reduce the chances of being exposed to contaminants, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). ATSDR is seeking public comments on its draft public health assessment. Comments on the report are being accepted through July 20, 2009.

E & D Officials urged the private sector to step forward, and if any principals were in need of development to help facilitate this cause E & D would lend a hand.

The Midnite Mine site is an inactive open-pit mine located on the Spokane Indian Reservation near Wellpinit, WA. Many people visit the mine area for traditional or subsistence activities. The site includes the mined area, mine roads built with gravel from waste rock, and areas to the south that receive drainage from the mined area. It also includes Blue Creek and groundwater in the mined area.

ATSDR found that coming into contact with contaminants at this site over a long period of time could harm the health of people who visit the area. The agency recommends that people not drink water from the site, including water from Blue Creek, and avoid eating plants or roots that grow in the area.

E & D  has been a vocal advocate of new mining techniques that could help eliminate these harmful by products in the future and has stated in official statements that such options would be available to principals seeking financing.

ATSDR was unable to determine if there is a danger from eating beef, deer or elk that graze in the site area, but advises people not to hunt large game in the mined or mining-affected areas.

Other recommendations include that people spend no more than one hour a day in the mined area. People are also advised not to swim or fish in Blue Creek.

ATSDR is also recommending further testing of fish, plants, and large game at the site for metals and radionuclides.

The public health assessment document is available for review at the following location:

Spokane Tribal College Library
9202 Old School Road
Wellpinit, WA 99040

Phone: 509-258-9202

E & D affirmed its commitment to help better the environment and stated business plan options would be made available for those seeking them.

E & D Services promotes USDA’s Forest Service to conserve at risk forests

November 3rd, 2009

E & D announced earlier that there would be a limited amount of business development slots open for the private sector that wish to work with the USDA Forest Service to conserve our country’s forests

In Vermont earlier this year, U.S. Forest Service Chief Gail Kimbell, announced the award of $50 million in grants to permanently protect twenty-four working forests across twenty-one states, through the Forest Legacy Program. This program permanently protects important private forestland threatened by conversion.

E & D Services has taken a very informative approach to allow funding slots open for private sector persons who desire to aid in this effort.

“The Forest Legacy Program conserves open space which allows us to respond to climate change, improves water quality and flows and connects children to nature,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

“It’s important for the people of this country to consider protecting our nation’s land. Not all projects have to be monetary driven, when applying to us. They simply must demonstrate a purely humanitarian concept according to the guidelines we put forth.” said a rep from E & D.

Examples of 2009 projects include: forest essential for wildlife and recreation in Maine; pine ecosystem critical for threatened and endangered species in Arkansas and working forests that support rural jobs in Oregon.

E & D Services has been a very advocate of The Forest Legacy Program and desires to see more projects come from private sector companies that work to better these similar causes.

The Forest Legacy Program promotes voluntary land conservation by operating on the principle of “willing buyer, willing seller.” Private forest landowners are facing increasing real estate prices, property taxes and development pressure, which result in conversion of forests to other land uses. The Forest Legacy Program focuses on conserving working forests – those that provide clean water, forest products, fish and wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.

Most Forest Legacy Program projects are conserved through conservation easements, allowing landowners to keep their forestlands while protecting them from future development.

For 2009, the Forest Service selected 24 projects out of 83 excellent state proposals that totaled $193 million. Details of the President’s 2010 budget released this week show 47 projects proposed with an increase in funding to more than $91 million.

The Forest Legacy Program uses a national competitive process to select the most ecologically and socially important, threatened and strategic projects. The program consistently leverages more than a 50-percent non-federal match, well above the 25-percent requirement. In addition, each project needs to be at least 75% forested, comply with Federal appraisal standards and complete a multi-resource forest management plan.

E & D Services maintains business development options for promotion of projects that aid the Forest Legacy Programs goals, objectives, and conservation efforts.

Knight Investments LLC vows support of Renewable Energy Development by US Dept of the Interior

November 3rd, 2009

Officials from Knight Investments LLC recently offered their support by extending business development options in benefit of those seeking to help with causes similar to the US Department of the Interiors Goals with Renewable Energies.

Knight Investments LLC Officials recently convened to discuss the dependence on foreign oil and the path that was possible to be paved by the private sector. KI Officials discussed the possibilities of what private sector companies could do to improve these measures and how budget appropriations could further this cause. The recent US Department of the Interior had critical citations of the nations dependence on foreign oil.

Citing the critical need to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, build a clean energy economy and create new jobs, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today issued a Secretarial Order making the production, development, and delivery of renewable energy top priorities for the Department.

“More so than ever, with job losses continuing to mount, we need to steer the country onto a new energy path,” Salazar said. “One that creates new jobs and puts America out front in new, growing industries, one that promotes investment and innovation here at home and one that makes wise use of our domestic resources.”

Knight Investments LLC offered a strong support on the recent remarks laid by the Secretary, and agreed to help realize that goal of a new energy path.

In addition to making renewable energy production a top priority for the Department, Salazar’s Secretarial order establishes an energy and climate change task force that will spur this agenda and identify specific zones on U.S. public lands where Interior can facilitate a rapid and responsible move to large-scale production of solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass energy.

For these renewable energy zones to succeed, Salazar pointed out, Interior will need to work closely with other federal agencies, states and American Indian tribes to determine what electric transmission infrastructure and transmission corridors are needed to deliver these renewable resources to major population centers.

“We will assign a high priority to identifying renewable energy zones and completing the permitting and appropriate environmental review of transmission rights-of-way applications that are necessary to deliver renewable energy generation to consumers,” Salazar said. “We have to connect the sun of the deserts and the wind of the plains with the places where people live.”

Knight Investments LLC affirmed that their underwriting department would be looking favorably on projects that were in promotion of the suns of the lower Midwest, and the wind plains across America.

Interior manages one fifth of the country’s landmass, over 1.7 billion offshore acres, and lands with some of the highest renewable energy potential in the nation. Interior’s Bureau of Land Management has identified about 21 million acres of public land with wind energy potential in the 11 western states and about 29 million acres with solar energy potential in the six southwestern states. There are also 140 million acres of public land in western states and Alaska that have geothermal resource potential.

In addition, there is significant wind and wave energy potential offshore. The National Renewable Energy Lab has identified more than 1,000 gigawatts of wind potential off the Atlantic coast, and more than 900 gigawatts of wind potential off our Pacific Coast.

The task force will prioritize the permitting and appropriate environmental review of transmission rights-of-way applications that are necessary to deliver renewable energy generation to consumers. The task force will work to resolve obstacles to renewable energy permitting, siting, development, and production.

Knight Investments LLC voiced their support for the new formation of the task force and said that prioritizing permitting for these causes was an utmost importance.

To help accomplish these goals, Interior may need to revise existing policies or create new policies, Salazar said, citing as examples the Geothermal, Wind, and West-Wide Corridors Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements and their respective Records of Decisions. Interior will also finalize a regulation for offshore renewable development.

Salazar explained that the Department of the Interior will continue to responsibly develop oil and gas resources on public lands. “In the last six weeks we have had five major oil and gas lease sales onshore, netting more than $32 million in revenue for taxpayers. And next week, I will be traveling to New Orleans to participate in a lease sale for the Central Gulf of Mexico. These will add important resources to our domestic energy production.”

Knight Investments LLC spokesmen stated that these causes could be greatly assisted by the private sector and offered their affirmation to help to improve the US Department of the Interior’s goals.

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up; Market Opportunity for Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

August 11th, 2009

Water Stocks Sector Close –Up; Market Opportunity for Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –August 11, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on water stocks by Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst, on the market opportunity for remediating oil- contaminated water.

Market Opportunity Remediating Oil-Contaminated Water

Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst and financial writer

Stocks Covered:

Cameron Intl Corp (NYSE:CAM), General Electric (NYSE:GE), Nalco (NYSE:NLC), National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV), Veolia (NYSE:VE), Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE), Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT)

Although oil spills capture headlines, a greater environmental challenge for the oil and gas industry is remediating water polluted in their production operations. Water that comes up with the production of oil and gas is called “produced water.’”  Produced water is tainted with hydrocarbon solids, sand, drill cuttings and salts. Oil companies spend an estimated $50 billion every year remediating and/or disposing of produced water to comply with local, state, provincial and federal environmental laws.

The volume of produced water worldwide is estimated at tens of billions of barrels each year. On average, every barrel of oil produced results in three barrels of produced water. That equates to managing or disposing of more than 250 million barrels of produced water each and every day. The hydrocarbons trapped in produced water are, not only an environmental hazard, but also a source of lost revenues. Data indicates that, on average, nine tons of oil is released via produced water for every million tons of hydrocarbons produced.

Disposal costs for produced water add to already high energy bills. These costs typically include trucking, pre-treatment, injection and desalination, and can run as high as $15 per barrel. Disposing of the hydrocarbon solids that remain after the water is treated is even costlier, estimated at nearly $72 per barrel.

Remediation costs for produced water are likely to continue to rise because regulators are pressing for more stringent environmental laws. Penalties for non-compliance are severe; for example, Suncor was recently fined $850,000 for an environmental violation. Costs are also increasing because oil companies are producing more oil to meet the world’s insatiable appetite for energy. Producers are stimulating production from older wells through re-fracturing, a process requiring massive amounts of fresh water, and tapping unconventional oil field plays such as the Alberta Oil Sands and the Barnett Shale. Canadian producers are already consuming over 540 million barrels of fresh water in Alberta Oil Sands operations, resulting in paying water clean up and disposal costs exceeding $100 million annually. Despite the fact that globally fresh water is becoming a scarce commodity, more water is being used, leading to demands that producers reduce water consumption. The problem is that today’s unconventional oil productions require more water than ever – as many as 20 barrels of water for every barrel of oil produced.

The management of produced water is a large market and several companies are marketing technologies for cleaning produced water. The Petreco Wemco division of Cameron (NYSE:CAM) markets a heat treatment technology that separates hydrocarbons from water. National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) manufactures and sells equipment that mechanically removes suspended solids from produced water. Nalco (NYSE:NLC) offers an aeration technology called Induced Gas Flotation that removes suspended particles from water. Privately-held Welco Expediting and Process Group market centrifuging technologies for cleaning produced water. The GE Zeon segment of General Electric (NYSE:GE), Siemens Water Technology and Veolia (NYSE:VE) offer treatment methods based on filtering membranes. Although all of the above-mentioned methods remove some of the pollutants, most  single technologies leave behind residential oil content ranging from 500 to 50,000 parts per million in the water. Having residual hydrocarbon in their produced water has a major impact on producers’ operating expenses.

Wescorp Energy (OTCBB:WSCE) recently began marketing a novel remediation technology called H20Maxx, which the company claims offers a safer, more effective and economical process for cleaning and separating oil and solids from produced water. H20Maxx employs a patented aeration technology that creates microscopic nitrogen bubbles several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional methods. These bubbles attach to oil droplets and break the oil/water interface, allowing oil to be separated. Third party laboratory tests have shown that H20Maxx reduces oil content in produced water to less than 10 parts per million. Because H20Maxx-treated water is more hydro carbon-free, it dramatically reduces both operating costs and water consumption and also provides the producer with a resalable oil stream. For producers operating in areas where water is in short supply such as the Barnett Shale and Alberta Oil Sands, the ability to re-cycle water is a major advantage.

Oil and gas producers recognize the benefits of H20Maxx and have begun using Wescorp’s technology. Last December, Wescorp received  3rd party verification of the H20Maxx’s  efficiency and scalability, which led to the signing of a letter of intent with Weatherford International (NYSE:WFT).Weatherford is one of the world’s largest  energy  services providers, with operations in more than 100 countries and annual revenues of nearly $10 billion.

In 2009, Wescorp has made significant progress deploying its technology. The company shipped its first H20Maxx unit to an oil/gas operator in Kansas in May. The unit began operating in July, providing remediation services for one conventional oil well, and is performing well. The oil company in Kansas has now ordered a second unit. H20Maxx units are leased on a day lease rate with a 2,000 barrels/day unit leasing for approximately $1,500/day. In June, Wescorp announced the leasing of an H20Maxx unit to Western Canadian Oil Sands, which plans to deploy the unit at its Athabasca Oil Sands operations in Northern Alberta. In late July, Wescorp announced a 50/50 joint venture with Cancen Oil Canada Corporation to initially install a combined 12 H20Maxx water units and HXCT solids units over the next 12 months at Cancen’s facilities. The joint venture will then build additional units to provide onsite remediation to oil and gas producers in western Canada. Cancen will fund, operate and manage the joint venture, as well as fund construction and deployment costs of the units.

Financial Business Solutions Worldwide & NOAA review Ground Lease for New Fisheries Science Center

July 10th, 2009

FBSW Officials in an effort to help better understand the impact of fishery based projects reviewed the recent NOAA ground lease with the University of Californai”

NOAA and the University of California have signed a 55 year ground lease clearing the way for construction next year of a new federal laboratory and office center at the University of California, San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus in La Jolla.

“This is a key step as we prepare for construction of a world-class research facility where hundreds of federal and university scientists will investigate the entire ecosystem of fish and marine mammals off the California coast and beyond,” said Jane Lubchenco, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. “The new laboratory facility continues our long-standing educational and science partnership with Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.”

FBSW Officials stated that the investigation of ecosystems of fish and marine mammals would play an important role in helping to better understand our place in the environment, and how effecting these ecosystems impacts our lives as well.

Known as NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center, the 120,000-square foot facility, when completed in late 2011, will house up to 300 staff members in laboratory, office and support space. Initial site work is scheduled to start in the fall of 2009, with construction on the new facility scheduled to start in spring of 2010.

“NOAA’s new facility will enable continued expansion of collaborative research among our scientists, and will foster interaction between Scripps Ph.D. students and NOAA experts,” said Tony Haymet, director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

NOAA’s new research facility will replace the existing Southwest Fisheries Science Center, which was partially vacated in the summer of 2008 due to continued bluff erosion.

FBSW LLC has been reviewing this project due to recent submissions of research facilities on marine life, and the similarities that successful operations can possibly share with potential applicants.

This facility will expand NOAA’s ability to develop and apply advanced technologies for surveys of fisheries resources and their associated ecosystems and to foster collaborations on fisheries management issues. The building also will house state-of-the-

art laboratories for biotechnology, photogrammetry and life history, and necropsy; experimental aquaria; and extensive collections of California Current ichthyoplankton and tissue samples for marine mammal and marine turtle genetics.

The new SWFSC laboratory will be a focal point for surveys and assessments of Pacific trans-boundary species, the development and application of ecosystem-based approaches to management, research on the impacts of environmental variability and climate change on marine ecosystems, and fisheries and conservation socio-economics.

Financial Business Solutions Worldwide affirmed that all parties should pursue LEED certification designs when construction was to come into play and that is exacly what NOAA has planned to do.

NOAA is pursuing certification of the building under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System. Based on the design work to date, the La Jolla Laboratory Consolidation Project recently received a top award from the American Institute of Architects, a rare honor for a project not yet built.
NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth’s environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

Financial Business Solutions Worldwide LLC specializes in educating business owners on the new needs for financing in today’s environment and brings the realm of project financing & structured financing as an option in today’s corporate finance depression

Angels Lending Group reviews US Office of Science and Technology Policy on climate change

July 7th, 2009

Recently Angels Lending Group began the review of Global Climate change in an effort to better understand how Renewable Energy Projects could help change the world”

Angels Lending Group today affirmed that Climate change is already having visible impacts in the United States. ALG asserted that the choices we make now will determine the severity of its impacts in the future. These statements concurred with new and authoritative federal study assessing the current and anticipated domestic impacts of climate change.

The report, “Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States,” compiles years of scientific research and takes into account new data not available during the preparation of previous large national and global assessments.

It was produced by a consortium of experts from13 U.S. government science agencies and from several major universities and research institutes. With its production and review spanning Republican and Democratic administrations, it offers a valuable, objective scientific consensus on how climate change is affecting—and may further affect—the United States.

“This new report integrates the most up-to-date scientific findings into a comprehensive picture of the ongoing as well as expected future impacts of heat-trapping pollution on the climate experienced by Americans, region by region and sector by sector,” said John P. Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “It tells us why remedial action is needed sooner rather than later, as well as showing why that action must include both global emissions reductions to reduce the extent of climate change and local adaptation measures to reduce the damage from the changes that are no longer avoidable.”

The report, which confirms previous evidence that global temperature increases in recent decades have been primarily human-induced, incorporates the latest information on rising temperatures and sea levels; increases in extreme weather events; and other climate-related phenomena. Adding greatly to its practical value in the realm of policy and planning, it is the first such report in almost a decade to break out those impacts by U.S. region and economic sector, and the first to do so in such great detail.

“This report stresses that climate change has immediate and local impacts – it literally affects people in their backyards,” said Jane Lubchenco, under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “In keeping with our goals, the information in it is accessible and useful to everyone from city planners and national legislators to citizens who want to better understand what climate change means to them. This is an issue that clearly affects everyone.”

A product of the interagency U.S. Global Change Research Program, the definitive 190-page report, produced under NOAA’s leadership, is written in plain language to better inform members of the public and policymakers. Commissioned in 2007 and completed this spring, the science-based report is a consensus product spanning two Presidential administrations and transcends political leanings or biases. It underwent intensive review by scientists inside and outside of government and includes information more recent than that incorporated into the last major report on global climate change released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Angels Lending Group reviewed the fact that the report is not intended to direct policy makers to take any one approach over another to mitigate climate change or adapt to it. But it emphasizes that the choices we make now will determine the severity of climate change impacts in the future. “Implementing sizable and sustained reductions in carbon dioxide emissions as soon as possible would significantly reduce the pace and the overall amount of climate change,” the report states, “and would be more effective than reductions of the same size initiated later.”

The study finds that Americans are already being affected by climate change through extreme weather, drought and wildfire trends and details how the nation’s transportation, agriculture, health, water and energy sectors will be affected in the future. The study also finds that the current trend in the emission of greenhouse gas pollution is significantly above the worst-case scenario that this and other reports have considered.

Upon review of the finding Angels Lending Group Officials discovered:

• Heat waves will become more frequent and intense, increasing threats to human health and quality of life. Extreme heat will also affect transportation and energy systems, and crop and livestock production.

• Increased heavy downpours will lead to more flooding, waterborne diseases, negative effects on agriculture, and disruptions to energy, water, and transportation systems.

• Reduced summer runoff and increasing water demands will create greater competition for water supplies in some regions, especially in the West.

• Rising water temperatures and ocean acidification threaten coral reefs and the rich ecosystems they support. These and other climate-related impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems will have major implications for tourism and fisheries.

• Insect infestations and wildfires are already increasing and are projected to increase further in a warming climate.

• Local sea-level rise of over three feet on top of storm surges will increasingly threaten homes and other coastal infrastructure. Coastal flooding will become more frequent and severe, and coastal land will increasingly be lost to the rising seas.

With such aspects being apparent in the recent report, Angels Lending Group affirmed its commitment to renewable energies, environmental projects, and the encouragement of project submissions.

Knight Investments LLC reviews US Dept of Energy New Scientific Reseach Center

July 5th, 2009

Officials from Knight Investments LLC, Regulatory Officials, Chief Scientific Officers, and delegation attendees reviewed the construction of the conventional facilities at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)”

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory announced that it is beginning construction of the conventional facilities at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a project that will advance energy research for the nation and create hundreds of jobs for Long Island over the next several years. Energy Secretary Steven Chu visited the laboratory earlier this year and announced $150 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for the facility, some of which went towards accelerating the construction of NSLS-II.

Knight Investments LLC Officials declared that the advancement of science, technology, and new discoveries were at the forefront of their agenda for private investment activities. Knight Investments President Jayson Lopez stressed the need for pioneering new technology and pledged his company’s support to obtain it.

“The NSLS-II will allow the scientific community to focus on some of our most important scientific challenges while creating jobs and promoting a clean, affordable energy economy,” said Secretary Chu. “Pioneering research will remain critical if the U.S. is to stay a global leader when it comes to innovation and competitiveness.”

Knight Investments LLC Officials stated that the NSLS-II would be a very good addition to the domestic based scientific community and applauded the recent appropriations of the US Recovery Act.

NSLS-II will be an advanced, highly optimized, third-generation medium energy storage ring that will provide sophisticated, new tools for discovery-class science – science that will enhance national and energy security and help drive abundant, safe, and clean energy technologies. The x-ray brightness and resolution of NSLS-II will be world leading, exceeding that of any other light source currently existing or under construction, and it will be 10,000 times brighter than the present light source at Brookhaven Lab.

Knight Investments LLC Officials stressed that although many of these new additions would not immediately help our country, many would be thankful for the addition of these new facilities. The Baron of the Republic of Aquitaine Christopher Knight Lopez was among the officials that urged people to look towards the future, and not focus on the short run.

“NSLS-II will provide the world’s finest capabilities for x-ray imaging, with the ability to detect single atoms,” said Brookhaven National Laboratory Director Samuel Aronson. “It will provide advanced tools for discovery-class science in many fields including condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology. Discoveries made at NSLS-II will enhance national and energy security and help drive abundant, safe, and clean energy technologies.”

Torcon, Inc., a New Jersey firm with many projects in New York State, has been chosen to construct the building that will house the accelerator ring, the largest component of the machine. Torcon estimates that 90 percent of the total construction contract cost of more than $170 million will be spent directly with Long Island contractors and suppliers. This phase of the facility’s construction is expected to last through 2012.

Knight Investments LLC Officials encouraged individuals seeking to further the scientific research community to submit possible scenarios by its submissions department.

Angels Lending Group vows support of Renewable Energy Development by US Dept of the Interior

July 1st, 2009

Angels Lending Group Officials recently offered their support by extending financing options in benefit of those seeking to help with causes similar to the US Department of the Interiors Goals with Renewable Energies.”

Angels Lending Group Officials recently convened to discuss the dependence on foreign oil and the path that was possible to be paved by the private sector. ALG Officials discussed the possibilities of what private sector companies could do to improve these measures and how budget appropriations could further this cause. The recent US Department of the Interior had critical citations of the nations dependence on foreign oil.

Citing the critical need to reduce the nation’s dependence on foreign oil, build a clean energy economy and create new jobs, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today issued a Secretarial Order making the production, development, and delivery of renewable energy top priorities for the Department.

“More so than ever, with job losses continuing to mount, we need to steer the country onto a new energy path,” Salazar said. “One that creates new jobs and puts America out front in new, growing industries, one that promotes investment and innovation here at home and one that makes wise use of our domestic resources.”

Angels Lending Group offered a strong support on the recent remarks laid by the Secretary, and agreed to help realize that goal of a new energy path.

In addition to making renewable energy production a top priority for the Department, Salazar’s Secretarial order establishes an energy and climate change task force that will spur this agenda and identify specific zones on U.S. public lands where Interior can facilitate a rapid and responsible move to large-scale production of solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass energy.

For these renewable energy zones to succeed, Salazar pointed out, Interior will need to work closely with other federal agencies, states and American Indian tribes to determine what electric transmission infrastructure and transmission corridors are needed to deliver these renewable resources to major population centers.

“We will assign a high priority to identifying renewable energy zones and completing the permitting and appropriate environmental review of transmission rights-of-way applications that are necessary to deliver renewable energy generation to consumers,” Salazar said. “We have to connect the sun of the deserts and the wind of the plains with the places where people live.”

Angels Lending Group affirmed that their underwriting department would be looking favorably on projects that were in promotion of the suns of the lower Midwest, and the wind plains across America.

Interior manages one fifth of the country’s landmass, over 1.7 billion offshore acres, and lands with some of the highest renewable energy potential in the nation. Interior’s Bureau of Land Management has identified about 21 million acres of public land with wind energy potential in the 11 western states and about 29 million acres with solar energy potential in the six southwestern states. There are also 140 million acres of public land in western states and Alaska that have geothermal resource potential.

In addition, there is significant wind and wave energy potential offshore. The National Renewable Energy Lab has identified more than 1,000 gigawatts of wind potential off the Atlantic coast, and more than 900 gigawatts of wind potential off our Pacific Coast.

The task force will prioritize the permitting and appropriate environmental review of transmission rights-of-way applications that are necessary to deliver renewable energy generation to consumers. The task force will work to resolve obstacles to renewable energy permitting, siting, development, and production.

Angels Lending Group voiced their support for the new formation of the task force and said that prioritizing permitting for these causes was an utmost importance.

To help accomplish these goals, Interior may need to revise existing policies or create new policies, Salazar said, citing as examples the Geothermal, Wind, and West-Wide Corridors Programmatic Environmental Impact Statements and their respective Records of Decisions. Interior will also finalize a regulation for offshore renewable development.

Salazar explained that the Department of the Interior will continue to responsibly develop oil and gas resources on public lands. “In the last six weeks we have had five major oil and gas lease sales onshore, netting more than $32 million in revenue for taxpayers. And next week, I will be traveling to New Orleans to participate in a lease sale for the Central Gulf of Mexico. These will add important resources to our domestic energy production.”

Angels Lending Group spokesmen stated that these causes could be greatly assisted by the private sector and offered their affirmation to help to improve the US Department of the Interior’s goals.

Knight Investments LLC & Baron of the Republic of Aquitaine support US Energy Department Secretary

June 22nd, 2009

The Baron of the Republic of Aquitaine announced earlier this week that he would be working with Knight Investments LLC to help develop grant programs for US Based Solar companies seeking materials to obtain financing”

Knight Investments LLC & the Baron of the Republic of Aquitaine met with Regulatory Officials, and discussed federal issues on how America could break its addiction to oil and coal.

Discussions were held at an international stage where all parties met to discuss these options, how portfolio appropriations could be designed to impact this cause, and what Knight Investments LLC had its disposal for resources.

The talks concluded that the recent findings of US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu would provided great insight on the development of this concept, and how private sector companies like Knight Investments LLC could further this cause.

When Secretary of Energy Steven Chu talks about how Americans can break their addiction to oil and coal, he starts with his hi-fi amplifier. It’s so old that the on-off light burned out long ago. But inside lies a technology that — in its day — was as revolutionary as the changes needed to solve the nation’s current energy problems. (Source Jim Tankersley LA Times)

Chu, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and other experts say similar scientific breakthroughs are needed to make renewable power sources such as wind, solar and biofuels as cheap and easy to use as the costly, environmentally damaging oil and coal we depend on now. Toward that end, President Obama’s stimulus package contains $8 billion for energy research, including $400 million specifically targeted for game-changing technology.

The problem is that over the last three decades, the U.S. has spent many times that much on energy research and development — with nothing like a “transistor”

to show for it.

“It’s very easy to say we should spend more” on research, said Jeffrey Wadsworth, chief executive and president of the Battelle Memorial Institute, which manages several Energy Department laboratories. “What really needs to happen is more effective use of the money.”

“It has to come from the private sector. The federal government is in a trillion dollar deficit and its stimulus package has 50 cents per US Dollar borrowed from foreign countries. In the meanwhile, the same people who had money in a good economy, have money in a bad economy. It’s up to us to make a contribution as good citizens of this country.” said Jayson Lopez, President of Knight Investments LLC.

The Baron of the Republic of Aquitaine agreed with this analysis and affirmed that the concept of private citizens and companies alike would be a key driving factor in the years to come. Currently the Baron of the Republic of Aquitaine has been working with key members of the private sector community and companies like Knight Investments LLC to press the Republic of Aquitaine’s desire for humanitarian, environmental, and human rights issues.

Angels Lending Group seeks to assist $19.7 million EPA Recovery Act with financing options

May 26th, 2009

Angels Lending Group announced today that funding options would be available for principals seeking to assist Water Projects in North Dakota to Boost Economy, Create Jobs and Protect Public Health.”

Angels Lending Group prepared to advocate support for projects desiring to help the North Dakota area with water relevant projects.

In a move that stands to create jobs, boost local economies, improve aging water infrastructure and protect human health and the environment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $19.7 million to the State of North Dakota.

Angels Lending Group recognizes the need for contributions from the private sector and has taken measures to see that future appropriations in portfolio submission have a place in this area.

“It’s important for private lenders, investors, and individuals in the position to make contributions to our Nation’s infrastructure step up, and ensure appropriations are made.” said Montelly Lopez, Underwriter on his last trip to a regional convention in Washington.

This new infusion of money provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will help the state and local governments finance many of the overdue improvements to water projects that are essential to protecting public health and the environment across the state.

Angels Lending Group has been working with regulatory officials in attempts to see where the private sector can lend a helping hand, and where funding appropriations would be most effective. Officials from ALG have stated that much can be found in appropriations and actions taken by the EPA. EPA officials had this to say about the Recovery Act funds,

“EPA is pleased to provide $19.7 million in Recovery Act funds for much needed improvements to North Dakota’s water infrastructure that will benefit the state for decades to come,” said Carol Rushin, Acting Regional Administrator. “This funding will protect public health and improve water quality while creating hundreds of green collar jobs in North Dakota.”

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program will receive $19.5 million. It provides low-interest loans for drinking water systems to finance infrastructure improvements. The program also emphasizes providing funds to small and disadvantaged communities and to programs that encourage pollution prevention as a tool for ensuring safe drinking water.

Angels Lending Group was there to applaud such motions and has been very supportive of the new administrations approach to investing monies in public infrastructure.

EPA is also awarding $194,300 in Recovery Act funds for Water Quality Management Planning (WQMP) in North Dakota. Planning is an important step in EPA’s goal to improve water quality in America’s lakes, rivers and streams. WQMP grants support a broad range of activities, such as setting standards, monitoring the quality of the water, developing plans to restore polluted waters, and identifying ways to protect healthy waters from becoming polluted. States are also encouraged to use these funds for more innovative planning activities, such as developing plans to adapt to climate change, analyzing trends in water availability and use, and creating low-impact development programs. Grants are awarded to state agencies and some of the funds can be awarded to regional and interstate planning organizations.

An unprecedented $6 billion dollars will be awarded to fund water and wastewater infrastructure projects across the country under the Recovery Act in the form of low-interest loans, principal forgiveness and grants. At least 20% of the funds provided under the Recovery Act are to be used for green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency improvements and other environmentally innovative projects.

Angels Lending Group has been streamlining applicants this past month in an effort to fill its quarterly quota, and maintains the stance that positions will be available for principals seeking to align themselves with this Act’s cause.

Angels Lending Group Corporation is a Private Lending Institution that works with Federal Governing Regulatory Bodies to utilize the Institutional Side of Banking with company funds to facilitate Green & Humanitarian Based Loans to Borrowers.

Angels Lending Group presents options for projects in conformance with The Pollution Prevention Act

May 25th, 2009

Angels Lending Group reorganized its portfolio appropriations for the third quarter of 2009 by proclaiming at least 25% of its 20 billion dollar appropriation will be reserved for supporters of the EPA’s Pollution Prevention Act.”

The Pollution Prevention Act establishes the national policy that pollution should be prevented or reduced at the source whenever feasible. Preventing pollution offers important economic benefits, as pollution never created avoids the need for expensive investments in waste management or cleanup.

Pollution prevention is reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes, promoting the use of non-toxic or less-toxic substances, implementing conservation techniques, and re-using materials rather than putting them into the waste stream.

The EPA has put forth a number of programs designed to educate manufacturers on industrial processes that prevent pollution by saving energy, encourage environmentally preferable purchasing, and provide technical assistance to state agencies and businesses.

Angels Lending Group has taken these programs into consideration at its underwriting department, and made special notations to look for in their submissions.

“We’ve had the pass down from our President that we want to make sure our projects are undergoing the correct scrutinization. This wish has translated to the review of government policies and protocols. The review of our government policies are always well done, and it provides a great deal of in sight on these issues. We of course appropriate them where we can and incorporate them where applicable.”

said Christopher Knight, Chief Underwriter of ALG.

Angels Lending Group has taken a key note to reflect our government’s desire for a greener economy, a greener country, and a greener policy in the private sector. Angels Lending Group has taken promotional steps to give out recommendations. These recommendations try to shed light on what Businesses can do to reflect these policies. Recommendations include the advocating of the EPA’s “Best Management Practices”.

Best management practices are methods that have been determined to be the most effective and practical means of preventing or reducing pollution. These practices are often employed in agriculture, forestry, mining and construction. The EPA (working with partners in industry and the academic community) have established the best published management practices for soil erosion, wastewater treatment, fuel storage, pesticide and fertilizer handling (to include the management of livestock yards). The ultimate goal of these practices is to increase efficiency while reducing pollution.

Angels Lending Group made a point to stress the importance of businesses understanding these new goals.

“We’re constantly keeping up with the new government policies for green projects, renewable energies, and humanitarian guidelines. It’s important for borrower’s to recognize the government’s requirements as well. This will ensure borrowers receive the best results when going through our underwriting procedures.” said Jamie Stevenson, Senior Operations of Angels Lending Group.

Investorideas.com New Showcase Water Stock, Wescorp Energy Inc. (OTC BB: WSCE) Provides Solutions for ‘Produced Water’ in Oil and Gas Industry

March 24th, 2009

Point Roberts, WA, Delta, BC - March 23, 2009 – www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry research portal covering water, environment and oil and gas sectors, announces a new featured showcase company, Wescorp Energy Inc.(OTCBB:WSCE ),a company providing technology based solutions for the treatment of contaminated ‘produced water’ for the oil and gas industry.

Oil and gas production worldwide generates a tremendous amount unwanted waste water - water that has been contaminated with hydrocarbons, sand, drill cuttings, organic and inorganic salts. The produced water is contaminated naturally from the formation and artificially through oil and gas processing. The handling, treatment and disposal of the produced water are some of the most controversial and environmentally challenging issues oil and gas producers face today. Produced water from hydrocarbon operations creates massive volumes of waste that requires remediation.

Headlines in a March 2009 article in Oilweek.com, “Water—its use, reuse and conservation—has become almost as important to Alberta’s economic future as oil”, forecast the importance of finding solutions within the industry.

http://www.oilweek.com/articles.asp?ID=638

Wescorp Energy Inc. is an oil and gas solutions provider that specializes in water remediation and environmental technologies for the global oil and gas industry. One of the company’s primary technologies, H2Omaxx, is a commercially scalable water remediation unit that uses patented aeration technology to consistently provide safe, effective and economical separation of oil from produced water. Final independent verification testing was completed in November 2008. Analytical results proved the H20maxx unit increased the recovery of oil and reduced the amount of hydrocarbons in the treated produced water to less than 0.001% or 10 parts per million.

According to the company, “Virtually anywhere in the world that oil is produced, contaminated produced water becomes an unwanted byproduct. Water becomes contaminated naturally through associated formation water in conventional oil and gas production. Unconventional oil production including Oil Sands development in Alberta, Canada contaminates huge amounts of fresh potable water during the production and processing of the oil.”

According to Industry Canada, “Strict Canadian environmental regulations have demanded that Canadian engineers and scientists develop innovative remedial technologies to clean-up a broad spectrum of contaminants, such as petroleum hydrocarbons.”

http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/ogt-ipg.nsf/eng/dk00095.html

Wescorp’s H20maxx technology is not going unnoticed. In December 2008, Wescorp announced that Weatherford International Ltd., (NYSE: WFT) executed a letter of intent for the testing of Wescorp’s wholly-owned water remediation technology, H2Omaxx, in two projects in South America. Wescorp and Weatherford are currently in negotiations for a possible exclusive long-term global cooperative agreement. H2Omaxx units provide oil and gas operators an opportunity to increase their profits, and reduce their operational costs by reducing, reusing, and recycling water without the use of flocculants.

Weatherford (NYSE: WFT) is one of the largest global providers of innovative mechanical solutions, technology and services for the drilling and production sectors of the oil and gas industry.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up; First Solar, Inc. (NasdaqNM: FSLR) up $7.18 (4.62%)

January 14th, 2009

Obama’s Green Energy Plan Endorsed by Investors Including T.Boone Pickens (Pickensplan.com)

POINT ROBERTS, WA —January 12, 2009 — www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,

a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on renewable energy stocks trading Friday January 9th. The sector is showing continued strength and optimism in spite of lower oil prices, and scepticism from short-term thinking industry critics.

In President-elect Obama’s speech Thursday morning, he stated, “To finally spark the creation of a clean energy economy, we will double the production of alternative energy in the next three years. We will modernize more than 75% of federal buildings and improve the energy efficiency of two million American homes, saving consumers and taxpayers billions on our energy bills. In the process, we will put Americans to work in new jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced – jobs building solar panels and wind turbines; constructing fuel-efficient cars and buildings; and developing the new energy technologies that will lead to even more jobs, more savings, and a cleaner, safer planet in the bargain.”

T.Boone Pickens (Pickensplan.com) followed with a press release stating, “President-Elect Obama’s comments in his speech this morning represent an important first step in solving our nation’s energy crisis and getting our economy moving again. Investing in alternative energy, focusing on conservation and rebuilding our power grid to deliver that energy to every corner of our country are critical components of this effort. As the new Congress and new Administration begin work, it will be critical that they focus on the need to dramatically reduce our dependency on foreign oil, which strangles our economy and threatens our national security. President-Elect Obama made it clear that he also understands the important role that transportation will play in solving our energy crisis and I am confident that he will recognize that as we reduce our imports of foreign oil, there the only domestic resources available are natural gas and plug-in batteries that can have an immediate impact on this effort.

A program focused on renewable energy, conservation, improving the grid and replacing

foreign oil with domestic resources in our transportation system is something that I believe will

create hundreds of thousands of jobs and revitalizes our economy.”

Thin Film Technologies Changing the Solar PV Business

January 7th, 2009

Solar Stocks: First Solar, Inc.(NasdaqGS: FSLR),Energy Conversion Devices, Inc.( United Solar Ovonics) (NasdaqGS: ENER) , XsunX (OTCBB:XSNX), SolarWorld (SRWRF.PK), Sanyo Electric (SANYY.PK)

POINT ROBERTS, WA, January 6, 2009- Green Investor at Investorideas.com

http://www.investorideas.com/gi/ reports on Thin Film Technologies Changing the Solar PV Business.

By Paulo Nery

The solar photovoltaic (PV) industry is clearly in a rapid growth phase. The worldwide industry size was recently estimated at $50 billion. Over the past few years, production capacity is thought to have grown at an average of 48% each year and cumulative global production is now at 12.4 Giga Watts (GW). It is also an industry on the brink of change. New technologies are emerging that seem certain have an impact on the entire shape of the PV industry.

Since they were first developed in the 50’s there have been no major changes to the basic crystalline silicon solar cell. But significant improvements are now taking place with several competing innovations vying for position. Crystalline silicon cells, which come in mono and poly crystalline forms, are now being referred to as “first generation” PV. These mature technologies have experienced dramatic growth in volumes. But with shortages of silicon and high prices affecting finished costs, the volumes are dropping. If silicon prices drop further we could yet see more competitive prices for these solar PV modules. But there’s only so much that prices can drop with that technology.

Second generation PV, or thin film technology, holds out the real promise of more price competitive systems because they can be manufactured with dramatically less material, shorter supply chains and cheaper, faster processes. Thin film is still a nascent industry and competition between players is much more about intellectual property and access to capital than the manufacturing efficiencies that drive the first generation PV makers. So there are lower prices from improved efficiency to be anticipated still.

There are three main approaches to thin film technologies based on different materials that can be used for the semi-conductor of a PV cell. The first to be established was amorphous silicon pioneered by United Solar Ovonics (NasdaqGS: ENER) which sells under the brand Uni-Solar. This technique, now used by a few dozen manufacturers around the world, relies on a small amount of amorphous silicon alloy and accounts for about 60% of the thin film PV made today. These systems have been sold for several years as building-integrated PV offering the advantage of nearly undetectable systems on rooftops for both commercial and residential buildings. United Solar sales amounted to 73 megawatts in 2008 and their sales pipeline has $1.8 billion. Their production capacity is currently at 118 Mega Watts (MW) with planned growth to 1 GW by 2012.

XsunX, (XSNX.OB) is also manufacturing thin-film modules using amorphous silicon and has taken aim at utility scale and grid-tied commercial installations. XsunX has developed proprietary techniques that have enabled it to achieve outstanding efficiency levels for amorphous silicon. The company plans to have production capacity of 25 MW in 2009 and is aiming for 100 MW in a few years. It has also recently contracted to supply 15 MW of its solar modules, worth over $37 million, over 2 years. XsunX and United Solar Ovonics are the only listed companies that are real investment plays on silicon based thin-film technology. Yes, Canon, Sharp and even Mitsubishi are in the game, but those companies are diversified into so many other products that investing in them wouldn’t be a play on solar. Other companies manufacturing amorphous silicon thin film include Auria Solar in Taiwan, EPV in New Jersey, Free Energy Europe in France, Heliodomi in Greece, Polar PV in China, Shenzhen Topray in China, Sinonar in Taiwan, TerraSolar in New York and VHF-Technologies in Switzerland.

The next approach to thin film uses cadmium telluride (CdTe) as the semi-conductor material. While CdTe modules are cheaper and faster to produce, so far they are much less efficient at around 10%. For utility scale installations, that seems not to be a critical factor however. The leader in this field is First Solar (FSLR) with over 1 gigawatt of production capacity, over 600 megawatts shipped so far, and over 3.8 gigawatts of contracted sales, worth $6.3 billion through 2013. According to their annual report, First Solar’s gross margins are 56%, which is twice that of most of their competitors’ costs. And they claim their cost per Watt to be $1.29, half to a third of their competitors. First Solar’s objective, though, is to be at $0.65-0.70 per Watt by 2012. After a tremendous run through 2007 up to May of 2008, when the stock went from about 28 to over 300, it tumbled to 85 for a brief while in November of 2008 only to rebound recently to around 130. One of the other CdTe developments was an Ohio company, Solar Fields, which was bought last year by Q-Cells, a German company. Ava Solar, in Colorado, has recently secured $104 million in funding and plans to large scale manufacturing in 2009.

Another group of companies is manufacturing cells with Copper Indium Gallium Di-Selenide (CIGS) as the semi-conductor. These include ICP Solar in Quebec, Solyndra in California, Global Solar in Arizona, MiaSole in California, Heliovolt in Texas, TerraSolar in New York and Nanosolar in California. All of these companies remain private. One of the biggest efforts currently is coming from Honda, who is a major player in crystalline silicon cells. CIGS systems have demonstrated efficiencies that approach 20%, which is significantly higher that CdTe modules and close to the efficiency of crystalline silicon modules. However, to date at least, the manufacturing processes are less tolerant to change.

All of the thin-film technologies have the advantage of requiring much less semiconductor material. It can be less than 1 percent of silicone used in crystalline cells. And they can be manufactured using high-speed techniques such as roll-to-roll printing. Their disadvantage is their lower efficiency. Even so, many new manufacturers in each three types are coming online every month.

Third-generation PV technologies includes approaches such as dye-sensitized solar cells, quantum dots, nano-antennaes, nanomodified materials and organic cells. These all offer the promise of higher efficiencies and lower costs than even second generation technology. But none is yet clearly established as a leader, and none of these technologies is yet available as an exchange traded investment.

Both second and third generation solar technology companies are highly concentrated in the US. So some observers have concluded that there will be a shift back to the US of the solar cell manufacturing that went to Asia. However, as the companies in this sector scale up their operations they’ll be tempted to manufacture where prices are lower to keep their costs down. But it’s by no means clear since as fast as companies shift manufacturing to Asia, overseas companies are building facilities in the US. For instance, SolarWorld (SRWRF.PK) from Germany has opened what they say is the US’s largest solar cell factory in Hillsboro, OR. Meantime, Sanyo Electric (SANYY.PK) from Japan is building a factory in Salem, OR.

Thomas Friedman, author of “Hot, Flat and Crowded”, has said that energy technology is the industrial sector where global leadership will be established in the next several years. With the rush of new innovation taking place in advanced solar technologies in the US, there’s still a chance that the US can claim that leadership position. But the game is still wide open.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up; Market Strength Spreads Across Sector

December 17th, 2008

Sector Confidence for New Year Could Result in Significant Upward Trends

POINT ROBERTS, WA —December 17, 2008 — www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on renewable energy and solar stocks based on overall upward trends in the market that reflected strong gains in some of the sector leaders. First Solar, Inc. (NasdaqGS: FSLR) was up $15.41 (13.86%) on the close.

Dr. Robert Wilder, of the WilderHill Clean Energy Index (^ECO) noted, “Stocks across the board showed up green today after the Fed’s announcement targeting a rate cut, so there was little to differentiate clean energy, which also gained, from the rest. Clean energy clearly was hit much harder than most sectors over 2008 however, and so whether credit frees up boosting expansion of solar power, wind, electric cars, and the like which all demand readily available capital, remains to be seen. I think what happens the next few months will be telling. Clean energy could move up, very smartly off deep 75% declines for the year… or, it could revert to 2008′s downward trend. The greatest single thing missing is probably “confidence”. Restore that, and clean energy could perhaps re-climb farther upwards than most sectors in reverting to mean.”

The WilderHill Clean Energy Index (^ECO) was up 5.61 (6.77%).

In terms of confidence within the sector, industry participants are betting on Obama.” Technology breakthroughs are fueling a surge in new energy development that is no longer hostage to the ups and downs of petroleum”, said Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of OriginOil (OTCBB: OOIL). He added, “The incoming Administration’s unqualified support is a key factor. We are very optimistic about New Energy’s prospects for 2009.”

According to Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX (OTCBB:XSNX),“The failure for the US government to pass an extension to the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) earlier this year placed downward pressure on solar stocks. By the time an eight-year extension to the ITC was passed, as part of the TARP legislation, the economy had fallen into tremendous disarray.

In reality the underlying fundamentals associated with the need and demand for electricity and solar have and continue to be very strong. You have the ITC now allowing utilities to monetize the 30% tax credits which is huge, we’re seeing increased legislation requiring and expanding renewable portfolio minimums on utilities here in the USA and abroad, and for the first time the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appeals panel rejected a federal permit for a newly planned coal fired electrical production plant in Utah requiring that the EPA consider CO2 emissions when issuing permits. This could place in jeopardy nearly 100 planned coal fired plants.

We even have a new President elect committing to build a new clean energy economy, and the scope of this endeavor is beyond comprehension for most citizens. The economic situation may be causing investors to look the other way but I think they are ignoring a freight train of opportunity headed their way in the form of solar sector opportunities. I know XsunX is working hard to deliver solar products to help fill the demand for solar,” concluded Djokovich.

CEO of Algae-to-Oil Technology Company, OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL) Reminds Investors of the Bright Future for Advanced Biofuels

November 15th, 2008

POINT ROBERTS, WA –November 14, 2008 www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, announces new featured showcase company OriginOil, Inc: (OTCBB: OOIL), an algae-to-oil technology company.

The company’s technology is an advanced algae growth system that can grow multiple layers of algae biomass around-the-clock with daily harvests. According to the company, growing and harvesting algae on a high volume production basis is the key breakthrough that will allow algae to compete with petroleum.

The US Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy reports, “Algal biofuels are generating considerable interest around the world. They may represent a sustainable pathway for helping to meet the U.S. biofuel production targets set by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.” http://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/pdfs/algalbiofuels.pdf

Petroleum is a depleting resource. Future sources of oil, the cost of producing it and the price consumers will have to pay for it are extremely uncertain. According to a recent report from the International Energy Agency, “there are growing fears the simultaneous plunge in oil prices and a pullback in spending on exploration and production will result in another massive energy price spike.”

One week earlier, Riggs Eckelberry, President & CEO of OriginOil, Inc. had made the same case. In his presentation to California lawmakers, he noted, “Energy demand is embedded and oil demand will return. If oil investment is neglected now, there will be new scarcity, driving prices much higher.”

“Climate change and CO2 emissions are also driving trends for renewable energy. These factors, as well as future oil shortages, have created excitement in the algae sector, in spite of the recent decline in oil prices”, Mr. Eckelberry went on to state.

“Current trends in energy supply and consumption are patently unsustainable – environmentally, economically and socially – they can and must be altered”, said Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency. “Rising imports of oil and gas into OECD regions and developing Asia, together with the growing concentration of production in a small number of countries, would increase our susceptibility to supply disruptions and sharp price hikes. At the same time, greenhouse-gas emissions would be driven up inexorably, putting the world on track for an eventual global temperature increase of up to 6°C.”
