Wind power blowing in China
2009-08-13 06:00:00 "American Superconductor (NASDAQ: AMSC), a U.S.-based play on wind power, is benefiting from demand in China," says Brendan Coffey in The Cabot Green Investor."The Chinese wind market has powered American Superconductor to an excellent quarter -- its second surprise profitable quarter in a row, and that has turbocharged the shares today."AMSC posted net income for its first quarter of $1.8 million, or 4 cents a share, compared to expectations of a slight loss and the per-share loss of 14 cents in 2Q 2008."Drop out one-time items, and AMSC earned 12 cents a share -- an impressive result for a company that didn't ever post a profit until last quarter."Sales jumped 83% to $73 million. One adage in retail is that the best place to find more sales is with existing customers, and AMSC did just that -- much of its sales came from Sinovel, the leading China wind turbine company, which uses AMSC's designs and electrical components for its ...

Funding the future: Electric cars to wind power
2008-11-06 06:00:00 "Our hope is that the new administration decides to fund 'the future'," says Sean Broderick (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2542). In Money and Markets (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2542) he looks to some favored exchange traded funds offering long-term investors exposure to alternative energy, wind power, electric cars and the rebuilding of our nation's infrastructure."We need an efficient power grid that can carry renewable energy — solar from the Mojave Desert and wind from the Great Plains — to the population centers of the U.S. Too bad our power grid is 100 years old and falling apart at the seams. And demand is growing every year."In addition, we need more railroads for an energy independent America — building those lines is a good bottom-up way to boost the economy. And, we need an electric car program. "I'm talking about developing mass-market battery-powered cars (hybrid or plug-in) that achieve a...

Low Gas Prices--Are They Worth Remembering?
2008-05-20 08:22:00 WEUA asks a silly question: do you remember when gas was 99 cents? I do. I'm not that old, and I remember when it was 87 cents a gallon. But lets be honest with ourselves--gas prices will NEVER be low again. There are a first reasons for this. First, oil prices are continuing to hit unprecedented highes along with gas prices. Therefore, oil companies are passing along the price increase to consumers.However, the second reason is more important--America has been paying lower gas prices than the rest of the world FOREVER--when I let Thailand gas prices had risen to $5.17 a gallon. This means that even if this recent rise in oil prices is a bubble, don't expect gas prices to fall when oil prices do. U.S. oil companies (despite the billions of dollars in profits they reap) have been waiting a long time to bring U.S. gas prices inline with the rest of the world. Do you think they will just back away from that once they have achieved this goal?So, besides reminiscing and complaining, wh...

Saline Sustainability Meeting on Wind Power
2008-05-13 23:05:00 On May 20, at 7:00 pm at the Pittsfield Township Administration Building, Saline Sustainability Circle will feature a presentation on wind turbines by John Sarver of the Michigan Energy Office. Mr. Sarver is part of the Michigan Wind Working Group, and will speak on the different types of turbines currently in use in Michigan, the feasibility of wind generation in our area, and ideas for ordinances and guideline for heights and locations for wind turbines in communities in Michigan. The U.S. Department of Energy's Wind Powering America program has a goal that 20% of all electricity will come from wind power by 2030. Michigan has the wind resources and technical and manufacturing capabilities to make a major contribution to this goal. Will ultra low frequency noise be a problem? What is “shadow flicker” and can it be abated? Are birds and bats affected? If large propellers aren’t feasible in a more urban or suburban setting, how about barber pole or roof mounted ...

Blimpy wind power
2008-05-06 22:28:00 Magenn has designed a buoyant wind turbine. clipped from www.magenn.comMARS is a lighter-than-air tethered wind turbine that rotates about a horizontal axis in response to wind, generating electrical energy. This electrical energy is transferred down the 1000-foot tether for immediate use, or to a set of batteries for later use, or to the power grid. Helium sustains MARS and allows it to ascend to a higher altitude than traditional wind turbines. MARS captures the energy available in the 600 to 1000-foot low level and nocturnal jet streams that exist almost everywhere. MARS rotation also generates the "Magnus effect" which provides additional lift, keeps the MARS stabilized, and positions it within a very controlled and restricted location to adhere to FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) & Transport Canada guidelines. A computer voice explains further.
