I am looking for micro wind companies with a track record ( not easy to find ) that I can invest in, any leads would be greatly appreciated.
I have found one in N. Dakota
Promana ticker PSLU did a reverse stock split and its assets were taken over via a merger by Crownbutte Wind Power on July 31st 2008, Crownbutte board replaced Promana board July 31st 2008
Crownbutte completed a private placement Aug 1st 2008 to build, own
and operate an approved 200 megawatt wind project with 134 turbines in
southwestern North Dakota estimated cost to build $30,000,000.
Project value upon completion and before tax credits is $50,000,000.
CBWP has been consulting for and building wind power farms in North

Kassim,
TRANSPORTATION is the master key to basic survival, and the cornerstone of the economy. We all know that transportation presently depends on oil production, and oil production is peaking. We must focus first on transportation – it is the highest priority. The PickensPlan to transition vehicles to natural gas is a great start toward 100% energy independence, but is a stop-gap measure till we can transition to all electric transportation. Electric energy is strained without adding transportation demands; so we must drastically improve efficiency .
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh (or carbon credit) than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric so it can make maximum use of wind or PV power. I invite you to visit my page to learn more about ETT
I know exactly what you mean about Oil being the reason for greed and much worse things in Africa e.g. the "Ogoni Tribe" in Nigeria that are the rightful landowners of the Oil-producing lands there that get no compensation whatsoever and are displaced. This is where Shell gets most of its oil for example and they control the poilitical leadership there. However, increasing natural gas production here domestically in the USA can help alleviate the suffering of those people for example in the long run because with less demand for that oil here at least, there is less motivation to go after it as much.
I am a registered agent with a domestic Independent Natural Gas Producer here in KY and we operate in Eastern KY, South-Central KY and Northern TN. In terms of a direct investment in the Pickens Plan, in my opinion there is no better way than to help boost domestic Natural Gas production right here in the USA. That is what we have been doing for the past 15 years and very successfully. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Natural Gas Development/Drilling, but in a nutshell we are running a 90% success rate i.e. 9/10 wells comes up producing for the past 15 years and we are growing rapidly. In our own small way we have been putting the Pickens Plan into action for the past 15 years.Natural Gas is an abundant, domestic, cheaper and cleaner resource. Typically the investment opportunities we offer are limited to "Accredited Investors" . Let me give you a definition real quick so we can see if you qualify:
1) $1Million Net Worth including home, all assets, other investments, cash etc.
OR
2) Have made $200,000/Year individually for the past 2 years and reasonably expect to do so this year
OR
3) Have made $300,000/Year jointly with your spouse for the p[ast 2 years and reasonably expect to do so this year.
The reason we are limited to such calibre investors is because Oil & Gas Investments are typically considered high-risk , however, our company has been very successful over the past 15 years and deals strictly in proven and already producing fields. In the areas we operate in, geologically speaking, there is a "blanket-type" characteristic geological natural gas producing layer underneath the ground which makes our particular investments much less risky. Generally speaking natural gas is a lot easier to find than oil. You can communicate with a natural gas fracture from 2000 ft away but you can miss an oil well by 10 feet. Our gas is also high-quality in terms of the energy content measured in BTU(British Thermal Units) and hence we and our clients enjoy a little premium over and above these record-high natural gas market prices. The IRS picks up the tab for your tax-bracket % of your investment e.g. on a $100 K Investment, after tax deductions, you actually have approx. $65 K "Out-of-Pocket" invested. Also on the income side, you can enjoy a 15%-22% deduction on the income you make back from these types of investments which is called a "Depletion Allowance". The natural gas wells in these operational areas in Eastern KY-Appalachian Basin region, typically produce for 25-30 years at very steady rates and there are geological reasons for this that I will be glad to explain if you are interested. Where do you think Natural Gas market prices will be in just 5, 10, 15, 20 years? So you have a steadily producing income-generating asset and a rising market price of that asset, what is likely to happen to your Returns On Investment with time?
Beyond just being a wise investment on both a personal and national level, this is also a great "HEDGE" against inflation, a weakening dollar and your own rising energy costs whether on a personal level e.g. home heating bill this winter OR on a business level e.g higher transportation costs associated with your industry.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested, however, let me be clear that in order for me to even make any kind of offer to you, you must be an Accredited Investor(see definition above) and it will not be for 30 days. Per SEC regulations and rules we must "develop a relationship" first which protects you and gives you plenty of time to do your due diligence on the firm I am registered with and to ensure there is no "Impulse Buy" . Beware that anyone making you and offer immediately and talking in Dollar Terms with this kind of investment without adhering to this procedure is more than likely out to scam you or at least violating Securities Law.
Look forward to speaking with you. Thanks.
Hello Kassim;
I would google alt energy in Africa or Nigeria and see who is already established. The best site to learn and buy from is www.aeesolar.com. Great site and lots of info on all the products available.

Hello Kassim,
Thanks for your interest and comment with the group I just started, "Green Energy for the Developing World". I hope the group can spur discussions and introduce connections between people who have knowledge and access to resources that can benefit anyone wanting to begin energy projects in developing communities. I, too, am wanting answers to the question you raised, 'how do we bring the technologies (and where do we find funding) to the communities and how do we begin to change the minds of politicians and government?" For me, I believe it begins with the individual who is interested in sharing knowledge, resources, and networking. Computers and the Internet are powerful tools that can create powerful alliances across cultural boundaries and physical borders. If you look at the success of Kiva.org, one can see that when many people come together to contribute nominal donations, progress and change can result, in this case, benefiting the small business person who resides in communities with meager resources. One organization that may interest you is the Himalayan Light Foundation, www.hlf.org, whose mission is to improve the quality of life of remote populations in South Asia. Through donations and volunteers, they have installed small, modest solar systems in community centers, schools, and other. Keep an eye on the "Green Energy for the Developing World" group-- as I find information, topics for discussion, and resources I will be posting them there.
Hello Kassim,
Very good to hear from you. Thank you for contacting me and your interest in the Windspire. We may be coming to Nigeria, and other areas of Africa. We are working with a company in Phoenix, Arizona, called Green Global Concepts and they will be building pre-constructed buildings in Nigeria. I will keep you posted on our progress with this venture. Please let me know the level of interest in investing in such a project and please join our site so you will see new information on the Windspire ,and other alternative energy items and new ideas.
