CLOSE

(stock #'s in %)

OK. Here's part of where we are. Our great senate of the US gave up on the remains of an energy bill. When or how will we get a Congress with statesmanship and vision of it. Or something better than this. Those last two were questions I think.

Here's where we are. Arizona approved their 1st 32 qualified solar installers. Ever.

Here's where we are. Grown in ponds, algae C footprint is 4.5X lower than present petrodiesel. In bioreactors, it's 3.7X higher.

Here's where we are. Coal is 70% of China's power. They're adding to their oil reserves. Who isn't.

Here's where we are. World Bank now says biofuels only caused 1/3rd of food price rise, about face on their '08 analysis that it was 3/4 the cause. '00-'08 grain prices doubled. The US $6B/Y subsidy for biofuels is being looked at. Yea, let's look at that.

Here's where we are. One study says EV's reduce GHG's/mile by 50% over infernal combustion engines. I assume that's based on our current power mix: 50% coal, 20% nuke, ~20% NG and the rest clean). 50% is low hanging fruit.

Here's where we are. Stanford engineers have figured out how to combine the heat with the light of the sun to double the efficiency of solar panels. Hear here.

And here's where we are. NPWZ up 40. MKTY up 33. PWAZ up 23. That's the fuel cell developers. TSPG up 20. Solar. FSYS, NEXS up 17. SOLR, ECNG up 12. ALTI up 11. PLUG up 10.

And this is this. AFPW down 30. AQNM down 33. NGBF, RVBF down 25. Next gen biofuels as far as I know, as is AQNM I think. WWPW down 20. Small wind developer with real contracts and projects in development as far as I know. But we have to love the market and Wall St. For without Wall St. by God where would we be. UBRG down 18. HLXW down 15. CCGI down 11. And FDEI back down 9.

Well, I thank you all for reading. Onward and upward.
