ENERGY MATTERS
Renewable energy. Energy-efficient homes. Green vehicles. It’s all about energy.
Making Solar Electricity Affordable

Many people who are contemplating installing solar electric systems on their homes struggle with the high initial costs.
To pay for a system, they either have to dip into their savings or take out a loan.
A 3- to 5-kW grid-connected solar system, suitable for most homes, can run $30,000 to $50,000.
Even with recent legislation that provides a 30 percent tax credit for solar and wind systems for homes and businesses,
the cost of such as system will still cost $21,000 to $30,000, which is a substantial piece of change.
Isn’t there some way to reduce this cost?
There is. It's called efficiency.
Richard Perez, founder of Home Power magazine, ran the numbers.
He found that every dollar invested in energy efficiency could reduce the cost of a photovoltaic (PV) system by $3 to $5.
How?
By reducing the size of a system one must install to meet his or her needs.
The economic savings from efficiency are quite substantial. For instance,
a $2,000 investment in home energy efficiency — for example, weatherization, insulation and energy-efficient compact fluorescent or
LED light bulbs — will reduce the demand for electricity. This, in turn, will reduce the size of the PV system required to meet one’s needs.
It could easily save $6,000 to $10,000 on the cost of the system of a 3- to 5-kW PV system before tax incentives.
Taking into account the 30% federal tax credit, the savings would be $4,200 to $7,000.
Spend a little more on efficiency and the cost of the system drops even more. If you invested $4,000 in efficiency,
the total system cost would decline by $12,000 to $20,000.
Taking into account the federal tax credits once again and the decrease in initial cost would be $8,400 to $14,000.
That’s not a bad return on an investment in efficiency.
Instead of spending $21,000 to $30,000 for a system, you’d pay $12,600 to $16,000.
So, if you're thinking about installing a PV system, think efficiency first. It’s a gift you give yourself and the planet.
It will reduce energy demand, reduce pollution, and reduce the cost of a system substantially.
Moreover, the savings will provide dividends for the life of the house.

Why all the media Hype over Alternative Renewable Energy?


The hoopla and the hype about the Alternative Energy Industry are due to several factors that can be summed up very simply.

Obviously the new cost of the old standard; OIL.
We as Americans never do anything until made to. IE: Voting.

Because of the Dynamic shift from a production society, post WWII in the US to a service or market Economy by the end of the 90’s.
Was one of a cause and effect, if you will…?

The 90’s was the internet boom….
The 2000 to 2006 the Real Estate boom….
Now we have Real Recession and Inflation, the economy going two different directions at the same time…Stagflation.

So it is quite evident the next boom to get America back on tract is the
Alternative Energy boom.
It’s what makes America Great.
It is these bubbles, or as Greenspan well stated it the “Frothiness” that becomes
THE AMERICAN ALTERNATIVE RENEWABLE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY.

We will rebound and this Alternative Energy Industry will make it so.
God Bless America…….

I have an agenda.....

My life's goal is to have all residential property co-generating electricity in North America by 2025. Little know fact it's only 25% of entire North American Grid Consumption.
This is attainable we have the technology and the man-power.....
We must start now!!!!
Time for talk is over.....

I have introduced the Boldest Solar/Housing Initiative ever put forth...
Entire subdivisions of low-cost Modulars with little to no electric bill that retail from $79,900 to $149,900 680sq 2/1 to 1380sq 3/2
Meets the need for low-cost housing and helps over Stressed Grid during PEAK_USAGE hrs as entire subdivisions come on-line becoming virtual mini-generating stations.

As well as helps the environment…
win-win-win.
It is the short term solution to a long term problem.......

Now that I have come home to south Georgia....
it is time to enlist All the help with this I can get.
I need more R & D with my new patent Idea an will be asking for Ga Tech's help.....with the SOLAR POWERED RECIRCULATOR GENERATOR which will drive the cost of production down by almost 60%
and will also be going back to Washington DC in this election year to demand more from our "so called elected or soon-to-be-elected officials".

I am in negotiations with Roger Little of Spire Solar in Mass to build a 100mw manufacturing plant in Liberty County Ga.

My plan is simple mix Roger's little assembly line with RapidModular.com's walling panels to produce under one roof the
structures of the future.

By building our own PV and being the only PV plant in the entire southeast US. We will capture this market in FL, GA, AL, and SC, NC. Simply by cutting down on the cost of shipping we will be the viable option for all of the Solar Retailers in the Region.

JD Polk, founder & ceo

Alternative Resource Electric Corporation, inc.
Mr. Polk has been working to keep hope alive in the Alternative Resource Electrical generation arena for over 17yrs. In the early 90's as ceo of Solar Cell's Inc living in Boca Raton touting Solar, Wind & Tidal-Flow generation on one platform offshore. He and the then Governor of Florida Lawton Chiles co-authored the co-generation legislation. That Florida and 23 other states immediately adopted.
He was there in DC in '98 when President Clinton signed the Million Roofs Initiative.
In 1999 he formed a Georgia corporation Alternative Resource Electric Corporation Inc just in time for what was sure to be Al Gore as President to then start implementing the Energy initiative's the Clinton Administration had put forth.
Well we all know what happened….
So for the last 7yrs Mr. Polk became a Real Estate guru mentoring others waiting for the end of the present Administration.

A new market?

Our timing appears fortuitous.
Solarbuzz llc. Says “revenue for the global solar technology industry reached $10.6 billion in 2006, while capital investment through solar photovoltaic-technology business hit $2.8 billion”, the annual World Solar Photovoltaic Industry Report. In addition, the industry raised more than $4 billion in equity and debt financing, up from $1.8 billion a year earlier. Solarbuzz also predicts the industry could expect revenue to reach between $18.6 billion and $31.5 billion by 2011.
In addition, the company is in best effort negotiations with Washington, D.C.-based law firm Chadbourne & Parke LLP to study the feasibility of securing state and federal incentives on a project-by-project basis.

The solar industry is booming, boasting growth of more than 40 percent each year and some $30 billion in sales last year, according to Photon International


Clean energy investment soars
July 3, 2008 11:21 am EDT Filed in Investing
Investment in sustainable energy worldwide is posting big growth, with $148.4 billion going to the sector in 2007, according to a new United Nations report.
That was an increase of 60 percent over the previous year, and the dollars climb when all financial transactions including acquisitions are included. That number is $204.9 billion.
The majority of the money going to sustainable energy came in the form of investments geared at adding capacity for renewable energy — a 67 percent surge to $84.5 billion last year. Public market investment in sustainable energy more than doubled, to $23.4 billion from $10.5 billion in 2006. Early stage venture investments grew 112 percent to $2 billion.

The primary funding source will be a Private Placement Memorandum with Subscription Agreement.

Stock will be sold in units
One unit is = to 2000 shares
The cost is $25US per share
So the unit cost is $50kUS

This will be in the form of $25kUS interest only cash loan at 6% simple interest
With a promissory note of $1000US per month for 25 months. Certificate will be issued immediately and transferred at 25th month. This will coincide with Direct Public Offering.


The 6% interest is paid semi-annually to stockholders.
The 25kUS cash will stay in escrow until the day we go public then there will be the pay-out back to stockholders.
The $1000US per month will be used for operating capitol.

The Capitol Expenditures to build out manufacturing Plants, PV and Modular will come from DOE State and Locale Municipalities Grants and initiatives the bulk will be Bridge Loans/holding preferred stock with warrants.
From unnamed Investment Banking Firm
Contenders are: Credit Swiss, World Bank with Asian Development Bank (India and China), Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton.
