Fisker gets $528M from the Dept of Energy
2009-09-23 14:08:00 Fisker was awarded a $528 Million Dollar Loan yesterday from the U.S. Department of Energy. That will fund the creation of a line of plug-in electrics. Interesting to note that the car which is planned is estimated to cost $39,900 (after tax credits) - this isn't their existing car, which is a very high-end car in the market and costs well over 100k. It is also projected to save ~821 million gallons of gasoline thru 2016. That's not much in the overall total usage in North America - but it is a good start. What we'll get will be a comfortable modern car that is reasonably quick, offers instant torque, a good driving experience, and the equivalent of extremely high milage. Fisker Automatiove Press Release follows: FISKER AUTOMOTIVE AND US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AGREE TO TERMS FOR $528.7M LOAN Funds awarded to develop affordable plug-in hybrids made in USA At least 5,000 direct and indirect US jobs to be created or saved An estimated 821 million gallons of gasoline...

A Positive Energy Landscape Hub
2009-09-18 07:53:00 Yes, it has a Wilson bi-fold garage door. Yes, it has translucent photovoltaic panels that also illuminate the interior workspace. Yes, it's heated and cooled by a geothermal system. And yes, it's pretty much the most amazing landscape storage shed around. Designed by Gray Organschi Architecture, this storage barn -- more appropriately a storage rack that doubles as an 800 square-foot building -- is the central hub for a landscape business in Washington, Connecticut. In order to hold the heavy landscape materials, Architect Magazine says Gray Organschi developed a cantilevered shelf standard with structural steel that accepts a standard 4 foot wide pallet. The resulting look is both dramatic and undetermined. Now, if you've ever used a forklift, you know that although you can get something to just about the right height, you might bang the side of the structure putting it into place. It'd be pretty unfortunate to poke a fork through one of the pol...

Alternative Energy Fragmentation Drives Innovation Which Will Lead to Groun
2009-08-31 20:00:00 The alternative energy sector is so fragmented between not only which type of alternative energy will be economical, but the technologies behind each alternative energy source are widespread with no clear trend. It seems like each week I read, hear, or see a new method and technology to produce my garbage into a form of biofuel that will generate enough energy to run my truck for 100mpg! Now, this isn’t a bad thing. I love to see all these technologies being developed as a proof of concept, and then if it has enough legs underneath it, get some seed capital to manufacture and create some prototypes. I have seen literally hundreds of different technologies that produce energy from an alternative source and I am always amazed at the human ingenuity. We are in an exciting part of history. What’s happening in the alternative energy sector today reminds me of what happened to the personal computer industry in the 80’s. At the beginning of the decade, there were h...

Clean energy battery bet
2009-08-25 14:00:00 "For many years I've followed where government cash goes, such as the clean energy market," says Neil George. In Stocks that Pay You, he eyes a battery technology play."Government investment in clean energy isn't new: It's been in the works for some time now. But now I'm looking at other segments of the government's spending on clean energy - this time, in battery technologies."Buried in the so-called stimulus program are billions upon billions of Federal tax and borrowed dollars that are not just being spent in contracts - but are actually being given away in grants to companies to improve battery technologies for everything from cars and other vehicles, to plenty of other uses."One company that I'm looking at -- Advanced Battery Technologies (NASDAQ: ABAT) -- is a US-China company, that is focused right at the sweet spot of the battery technologies that the government will be dumping billions into. &qu...
China Bio Energy (CBEH): 'Go west' to rural China
2009-08-21 14:00:00 "Chinese oil companies are almost universally undervalued and our newest recommendation, tiny Xian based China Bio Energy Holding Co. Ltd.

In The New China Trader, he reviews one speculative, small cap play he has uncovered."China Bio Energy is engaged in the wholesale distribution and processing of so-called 'heavy oils' and bio diesel among other petroleum products."We're attracted to the company because it's likely to be a key beneficiary of Beijing's 'Go West' development plan, an important effort to develop China's relatively rural western cities and industries.

Body I don’t regularly get at least seven to eight hours of sleep, and I often wake up feeling tired. True. But I make up for it the next day with an overload of caffeine and energy drinks. I frequently skip breakfast, or I settle for something that isn’t nutritious. True. But sometimes the only time married women can hook up is right after their husbands leave for work in the morning. Married women are not nutritious, but they sure do taste good. I don’t work out enough (meaning cardiovascular training at least three times a week and strength training at least once a week). Fa...
