Wall Street is listening!

I was just listening to CNBC when my attention was grabbed by a business news article they were about to do on the smart grid. I'm not an expert on the stock market but I believe this is both good and positive news for us all. It appears that an ETF(exchange traded fund) has been created to trade in companies that are in smart grid businesses. The stock symbol for the fund is GRID and it will create a basket of 29 companies that work with smart grid infrastructure, equipment and components for t… Continue

The Future of Alternative and Renewable Energy after 2010

I see renewable energy as a long term investment for our economic and national security. Anybody who installed solar panels on their houses 15 years ago are now enjoying free electricity. I am personally concerned about nationalizing healthcare and exploding deficits and believe these will be the achilles heel of the new administration in the elections of 2010. Unfortunately, the country would have benefited from their desire to promote natural gas and renewable energy ---- away from oil, coal… Continue

Are Green Jobs Corrupt? or is it that Politics Are!

Are Green Jobs Corrupt? or is it that Politics Are! The Van Jones affair could be an important turning point in the Obama administration if we use it as a window to understand the structure of the left and to stop the huge power-grab now taking place in the name of green jobs. It's also one of the most significant things I've ever had the honor of being involved in. Here's how, from my perspective, it happened and what it means. The Van Jones affair is, as President Obama likes to say, a "teac… Continue

Why Not Make Turbines at Wind Farms?

Why Not Make Turbines at Wind Farms? By KATE GALBRAITH Since wind turbines are so difficult to transport, why not manufacture them on site — at a wind farm? Clipper Windpower, a wind developer and manufacturer, is considering doing exactly that at a site in South Dakota. The company hopes to build a 5,000 megawatt wind farm (even bigger than the “world’s largest wind farm” that T. Boone Pickens once planned) in an area southeast of Pierre, the state capital. The farm alone would require 2,000 t… Continue
