Mobile commerce estimated to grow to near $400B/y by '15. Internet commerce now ~$174B/y. Hm. Out of Peapod in '89. Text commerce also being developed. All untaxed?
GE applying MRI superconducting magnet tech to scale up to 10-15MW wind turbines. 2-yr $3M DOE project to dev next gen turbine generators. Aiming to dub torque density and reduce dependence on rare earth minerals. Oak Ridge a podner.
Standard and Poors rates subprime mortgages higher than the USA now. O yea, the devil.
Portugal cranked up their debt reduction efforts.
Solyndra. California solar. Rows of thin-film solar cells in aluminum cylinders tech they now want to sell? Bankrupt. Laid off >1K people. Were hoping for IPO. Said China and the global solar market beat them. Wah. O, the DOE loan guarantee. Now we are out $535M. To Obama backers. This is not going to sound well on the campaign trail for how long. What a difference a day can make, A?
Mikey Bloomberg went to GenOn Energy's coal-fired electricity plant in Alexandria VA last month - 1st I red about it - to announce a $50M grant from his foundation to Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal Campaign" to close such plants nationwide. Mike for Prez? He's as small as Putin. Or Napoleon? But way to go Mike.

Dow up 52. Naz flat. S&P up 6. Very odd. So. Prepare for a fall back. Just a feeling. Very odd is UBRG down 5% after reporting $20M more revenues in the future. NENE also down 5%, backing off that 200-day line. BWEN too down 5%. Back to their bottom.
Solydra the big nuze. Despite the $535M DOE loan guarantee in late '09 (to an Obama backer). Over 1k jobs gone. More later.
O, UBRG now back up 3%. WEST up 5%. That after hours downer last night must have been an insider trade. Huh.
ASYS falling below $11 again. I don't get it.
I think that's all I got at 2:33P.

Next Era Energy subsid Genesis Solar closed on $700M bonds, $150M loan and $83M letter of credit to build 250MW concentrating solar thermal plant using parabolic troughs in S. Cal. DOE loan guarantee of 80%. That makes almost $6B for CST of total $40B in DOE guarantees. Which costs DOE nothing if all the projects are righteous. Carrying the money at these interest rates also is nominal. Energy policy you say? It's happening. Chu is maybe the best energy secretary we've ever had.
GTAT bought Confluence Solar for $60M plus. Equipment to make monocrystalline silicon ingots (for solar) @ lower costs. They will be the only supplier in the market for some time. They expect it to generate $3-400M/y in revs. GTAT already sells equip to make multicrystalline ingots. GTAT $1+ above their 200-day lines, up another 1% today.
In '10, Egypt's debt was 80% of GDP. Mexico's was 37%. Russia's was 9%. Why this is called "stuff". When I get "stuff" I let you know.
VLNC got $7.2M order from EVI's deal with UPS for 100 EV vehicles. VLNC down 1% today.
Exxon got agreement with Rosneft to explore for oil in Russian sector of Arctic Ocean that could grow to a $500B deal over time. Pretty much the BP deal that went south. Initial investment of $3.2B in Kara Sea. Also included Black Sea exploration. Exxon offloaded downstream assets in Malaysia (refining, retail, industrial and av fuel).
E85 pumps opened up in a "green" station in Stuart FL. Corn ethanol will never be green. Sorry corn lobby.
A 24MW hybrid solar PV/geothermal plant to be built in NV. Chinese solar supplier. Oo. With all the solar panels made in USA. Tsk tsk.
8 states got 100-year rains from Irene.
Electrical workers restored power to about 250k customers overnight in MA. Still 250k without power.
Austin expected to break under 100F Sept 1.
DOE put $41M into 16 carbon capture research projects, $141M into new facility. There are solvents, sorbents and membranes. Science rules.
LSCG/Dixon's $15 60W LED to cut price in half. Will 1st appear in India by year-end. Global next year. Consumes even less power than old $30 bulb. 8.5w. Cutting down amount of LED's in the bulb and better use of heat sinks. LSCG also developing bulb w/ Google to be controlled thru Android. LSCG stilll up 4% today.
Construction begun on $208M carbon capture/storage project @ ADM's ethanol plant in Decatur. DOE says it should capture 1M tons CO2/y. Online in '13. Partly funded by govt's $144M. Hm. I guess here we actually put up money. Not just a loan guarantee. Maybe ADM has a strong lobbyist.

Cameco expects global uranium consumption to exceed mine production by a significant margin over the next 10 years. US power plants use ~55M lbs/yr. US produces 3.5M lb/yr. And production is falling. Yep, another problem of energy security. Even the Megatons (nuke weapons) to Megawatts program that now supplies ~ 1/3 of global reactor demand ends in '13. Uranium demand expected to double by '30. Thorium and beryllium are probable solutions. Nuclear fuel market is ~$30B/yr.
Gov Christie vetoed a permanent fracking ban in NJ and proposed a 1-yr ban.
USGS says Marcellus shale contains 84TCF of undiscovered, but technically recoverable NG and 3.4B bls of NG liquids. Way up from 2TCF estimate in '02. Increase due to fracking advances. Way under, though, EIA's estimate of 410TCF. So EIA to reduce it to match USGS. In '08, USGS raised est. of shale oil in ND's Bakken formation to 3-4.3B bls. Some now say that should be raised to 400B. USGS will begin a new survey in Oct that will take 2 years.
Japan parliament approved a program to require utilities to buy clean E and biomass electricity at premium, govt-set prices under long-term (20 yr) contracts.

And save 100M tons of CO2 emissions each year. Huh.
DOE gave Abengoa Bioenergy $134M loan guarantee for commercial-scale Kansas cellulosic ethanol plant with 23M gal/y capacity.

STUFF
After listening to all the talking heads this morn I came away with Santorum's idea. Cut corporate tax to zero for any company that builds a new manufacturing plant in the USA and keeps all their manufacturing jobs here or however it's worded. We might have to promise it for 10 years - like everything else these days - or the life of the plant. But it would make a big statement around the world. We want our jobs back. Really. There would be plenty of construction jobs for the new plants. And we should couple in job training a la military training schools so the manufacturers know they will have a good workforce. And we ought to figure out tax wise how to let our corps get their money back here that they're holding overseas. And in the paper this morn even P&G is now looking at moving money and jobs overseas. It has to stop. And I bet such a change would be a net tax gain.
Happy motoring, pards.

Why have atmospheric methane levels abruptly leveled off, stabilized in last 3 decades? Two U Cal Irvine teams published findings in "Nature". 1 answer that NG became a more valuable commodity in the '80's and more actively captured as drilling byproduct. Answer 2 Asia switched to inorganic fertilizers from organic and drained rice paddies midseason to save water. But neither theory explains why methane is again on the rise since '06. I wonder if it's tundra thawing. Or maybe we're just fartin more. Or, really, the fracking.

One reason for the volatility the past week is Pension Financial - largest indy provider of clearing and settlement services around the world (ever hear of them?) - increased its margin requirements on options 100%. Chicago Mercantile Exchange recently hiked gold margins for 2nd time this year and increased silver margins 7 times in '11. Belgium joined France, Italy, Spain and Greece in banning short selling. Its a lot harder to play the game when the rules can change at any time.
Global hydropower industry at $56B this year.
Historically, at stock market bottoms you can pick up the 30 bluest stocks for 1-2 oz of gold. Today it's some over 6 oz.
China reported higher-than-expected growth in July. Trade surplus of $31B v. $22B in June. Exports up 20% v. July '10 @ $175B. Imports up 3% to $144B (up 19% in June). O yea, and they've launched their first aircraft carrier.
US business 2Q profits came in @ annual rate of $1.66T, highest in 60 years (since gov started keeping track). Add that to their over $2T in cash. And, again, I'm going to say this. 10M $30K/Y jobs would cost $300B. Or make it all 15M for $450B. Doesn't it seem we have a stingy business community? Or is it just politics?

Market up 125/15/6. Weighted heavily toward Dow. Volume still very heavy but way off past pace. Oil around $85. Pump prices should be starting down this coming week. Funny how they go up immediately, it seems, when oil goes up. Ha.
AMSC up 12. About a 30% 2-day gain after announcing major layoffs. I wouldn't expect any more, though. They need new customers. Why doesn't superconducting cable get used more?
AONE was off 9 with that Goldman downgrade. But they got the GM contract for future EVs (not the Volt). If the market takes them back to anywhere near the $3 area, I surely recommend it.
ASYS ended down ten cents which surprised me. Tuesday they reported FQ3: record revs up 67%, EPS up 76%, expect full-year guidance to be achieved (revs up 100%) even though quarter orders were down 80% from previous quarter which is the apparent reason for the huge selloff Wednesday. Way overdone. And they're at their 3-year "200-day" lines besides extremely low P/B, P/S, P/E numbers. Still own it, still recommend. Also, they're developing solar ion implant tech for future revs.
BFRE was up 18. BLQN was down 13. Still gone from 2 cent low to now 69 after hitting $1.90. Incredible. BWEN still one of the few without a rebound this past week. Wind power equipment. Keep an eye on them. Even Kramer the Crazy was hawking them back when their stock was peaking.

Anyway, now you might buy WEST for short or long term. And of course I must hawk ASYS which I said I was sticking my head out on last eve.
Onward and upward, pards.

STUFF
VC's invested $560M in greentech in July. Greentech is not just green energy. There are terms to learn. Clean energy is no GHG emissions from power production. Renewable energy is an energy source that is sustainable. Greentech is anything that reduces GHG emissions and/or recycles materials. As far as I understand things. There's a lot of sloppy usage of these terms in reporting.
Marcellus shale NG production last year averaged 1.3BCF/d. At start of '11 it was ~2B. Next 8 yrs, should jump to 17.5B. OK. Look at that. 2B to 17B in 8 years. Should NG price stay stable? And cheap? Seems so, huh. But when can we count on any prices staying the same. With power production turning to gas and some transportation turning to gas and other countries upping their demand, I think prices will be going up.
Greece has already banned short selling. Now France and Italy. OK. That's the market thingy. Eurozone GDP ~$16T/y. Beats USA.
Monsanto to develop drought-resistant corn. About time or just in time. Of course, they will soon then control seed corn market like they do soybeans and other. If they don't already.
Buick's 1st hybrid hit the roads. Wouldn't we rather have a Buick. We had a '56 Buick in the Philippines in '70. The 8 exhaust holes in the hood. Stories. Like the gas station attendant blowing up the Buick's battery with a backwards charge. Fortunately we weren't too close to the car.
Cisco getting out of building/home management. The latest trend.
EU behind on its clean E targets. Could be the financial probs huh?
US Army created a Renewables Office. Targeting 25% renewable power by '25. $7B investment over next 10 years. First sentence in one article was "The Army has gone socialist". O grow up. What the heck is socialist about clean energy?
Rice U research may have created metabolic code to speed up biofuel production 10X. Go Rice.

Wild and wooly west. 600 point turnaround in what, less than 2 hours. That's nuts. Real nuts. That bottom will be tested sooner or later. 10.6k Dow. Of course, we had the Fed step up the commitment. But, God, it's nuts. Hard to figure what to do until it settles down. Volume 2.5 times normal today. Can't even get an oil price anymore on Bloomberg without checking old news. What the hell is that about? Their new format. Sometimes change is stupid.

FRIDAY CLOSE
(stock #'s in %)
S&P downgrade of USA. Hm. From the folks who could have been indicted along with the others for the financial fraud and crisis late last decade. I just write it off as more of the GOP fight to get back all the political power. And lets put the cards on the table. Some people just don't like Democrat presidents, let alone a half black one.
And I still cry hay, in '00 when the GOP was handed America we were paying down the $5T debt which may have been actually paid off by now. But who am I to know if this is just part of revelation eschatology or just stretching the boundaries of what we can do with the concept of money.
The jobs report helped Friday's recovery. The govt actually closely matched ADP's this time. Though the market finished mixed. Dow up 60, Naz down 23 because high tech is dragging us down, huh, and S&P was flat. But yay, thanks be to God and GOP for the Dow strength. Hell, Apple alone has more cash on hand than the United States of America.
In a way, this all tells me we're going further down next week. But I hope I'm wrong. None of us wants to fight the trend. If down we have to go then let's the heck get there now. So we can start back up again.
Volume was more than double normal. Either everybody's selling out or it's a turn back up.
September Oil settled in at under $88.
And then there are now our SEALS and pilots and crew from Afghanistan to bury. While Syria continues killing their own people. Let alone Libya. O yea, Libya. Where is all that? I understand Kadaffy's son was killed in one recent bomb attack. God what a world we have to do business in every business day. How about getting water and food into the famine of Somalia/Kenya. Let's all try to care a little more, A? That's amore. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.
O yea, the stocks. Clean energy money.
Nanotech too. NNLX was up 21. NANO up 4. NANX down 7, new low.
AGPH up 97. I have to check that out. They have $176M valuation now.
AFPW down 17. AMRC down 11. AMEL down 6, another new low. Lithium mining? AMLM up 8 after hitting big new low. Lithium mining?
AONE maybe turning back up.
ASPW up 13.

I guess we had a feeling it was coming ... you know how much the market fell. No need for me to tell ye. Volume was double normal. Double. Who knows how low we're going or how fast or slow. Oil under $87. Let's see how many weeks it takes to hit the gas pumps. NG even back under $4.
Clean energy stocks are some of the street's favorite whipping boys. Solars were pummelled. STRI lowered their guidance. Down 20. FSLR missed on revs and EPS. Down 9 after hours. Even SOLR, after announcing $55M order yesterday with new customer and today reporting Q with 273% rev gain, 71% EPS gain and $2B record backlog, was down 9.
WPNV up 56. WBRE up 55. CBWP up 25. BFRE up 22. Just showing off. AEBF up another 31. That's one to check out.

Great day for bears. Market down 265/75/32. Punctured all the 200-day lines. Volume very heavy. Oil under $94. I guess nobody likes the budget deal. Or our leaders very much. What are we to do. What's our decade goal? I think mine is a $5 trillion USA sovereign wealth fund. I don't know pards. Heck, how about everybody driving EV's? And nothing but clean energy? Keep sending in your thoughts. I love hearing from ye.
FEWP up 20. That's Far East Wind Power. MDTL up 14. That's Medis the menace. CLNO up 10. AEBF up 9. These guys know something we don't. XSNX up 7.
CRGE down 27, I think a new low. URXE down 22. IAUS down 15. As if they do anything. SATC down 15, new low. Bought some of that I did. Wish me lucks. RNNM down 12. CSOL, ASPW down 11. PTOS down 10. FSYS down 8, new low. AMSC, ASTI down 7, new lows. AONE down 5, new low. KIOR down 4, new low. ITRI hit a new low but is coming back in after hours.

Market down 74/12/10. Volume a little heavy. Oil under $95. We are in the double dip. Hopefully, we get back to growth the second half. But right now it doesn't look like we will. And all 3 indeces are on the 200-day lines.
HYEG up 25. ECOS up 20. CLNO up 10.
SATC down 8, new low. CSOL down 7. AMSC down 4, new low.
Not much movement.
