FPL’s investments in fuel efficiency expected to yield billion-dollar-a-year savings for customers beginning in 2014
Customers have already saved nearly $3 billion since 2002 as a result of investments in cleaner, more efficient power plants
JUNO BEACH, Fla.--June 18 2009 --Florida Power & Light Company’s investments in making its power plants among the cleanest and most efficient in the country have saved customers nearly $3 billion in fuel costs since 2002, and continued investment is expected to yield customer savings totaling $1 billion every year beginning in 2014.
FPL is a subsidiary of Juno Beach, Fla.-based FPL Group (NYSE: FPL).
The savings to date have been driven by a wide array of efficiency projects that result in lower fuel use. For example, FPL has converted older, oil-fired power plants, such as the Fort Myers and Sanford plants, to more efficient natural gas combined-cycle technology, while adding new, similar generating capacity at its Martin, Manatee and Turkey Point sites.

SOCAL CONNECTED’ INVESTIGATES CHILD SUPPORT IN DOWN ECONOMY, THEN FOCUSES ON GREEN JOB OPPORTUNITIES
‘SOCAL CONNECTED’ INVESTIGATES CHILD SUPPORT IN DOWN ECONOMY, THEN FOCUSES ON GREEN JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN SEASON ONE FINALE AIRING THURSDAY, JUNE 18 AT 8:00 PM
KCET’s Award-Winning News Program Has Encore Broadcast as Part of Primetime Friday Night Line-up that Includes ‘Washington Week’ and ‘Bill Moyers’ Journal,’ on Fridays at 8:30 PM
LOS ANGELES – June 12, 2009 – SoCal Connected examines the plight of divorced dads struggling to keep up with child support payments and the effect that has on families. The California Department of Child Support Services – the largest in the country – is being swamped with "modification requests" from economically downsized dads who say they can’t afford to pay the same amount of child support.
We meet a father of three who once had a good-paying job selling heavy machinery. He now makes just $14 an hour and has to live with his mother. His ex-wife works at a sports bar on weekends where her tips are down dramatically. He succeeded in getting his monthly payment of $1,302 reduced to just $255.
But blue collar couples aren’t the only ones affected. An attorney – the divorced father of two boys – used to make $500,000 a year. His child and spousal support was set at $23,000 a month. He says he can’t afford to pay anywhere near that amount now because his practice is off 40%. He’s facing contempt proceedings filed by his ex-wife, who says she and the children can no longer afford to live in Southern California. He gives a tour of what was once the family home, which he’s turned into his law office to save money.
"He Said… She Said" is just one of the stories in this Season One finale of SoCal Connected airing Thursday, June 18 at 8:00 p.m. Correspondent Vince Gonzales also gives us a rare insider’s look in the courtroom and private consultation cubicles at L.A.’s Department of Child Support Services, where modification requests are considered and paternity tests are so commonplace, there’s even a separate area where moms, dads and kids wait to have the procedure done.
Next, SoCal Connected presents a special segment on green collar jobs.
For this segment, Correspondent Angie Crouch explores the efforts to create a green job workforce and take advantage of an expected boom in the renewable energy economy. Crouch visits a training center in East LA which is teaching a wide range of individuals—including former gang members and ex-Hollywood actors—green job skills such as solar panel installation. The former gang members participate in this program through a collaboration between the LAUSD and Homboy Industries, a gang intervention organization. SoCal also introduces us to eSolar in Lancaster, a solar power facility, and speaks with its chairman, Bill Gross, about the facility’s potential to produce both jobs for an economically depressed Antelope Valley and energy for upwards of 400,000 homes. In addition, SoCal catches up with long-time Southern California writer Joel Kotkin, an outspoken critic of green jobs, who argues that all the talk about a booming green jobs economy is just "hot air" and not a realistic expectation. In addition to airing on SoCal Connected, this segment will appear as part of PBS’ Blueprint America, a multi-platform, year-long initiative examining infrastructure issues throughout America and the world.
The series and its companion Web site at www.pbs.org/blueprintamerica consist of content produced by national PBS shows, local stations and original documentaries distributed nationally on PBS.
For the season finale, Marcos Villatoro reminds us of all the good things in summer in Southern California, even during tough times.
"He Said… She Said" is reported by Correspondent Vince Gonzales and produced by Angela Shelley with Associate Producer Alexandria Gales. "Blueprint America: Green Collar Jobs" is reported by Correspondent Angie Crouch and produced by Saul Gonzalez. Bret Marcus is executive producer of SoCal Connected; Val Zavala serves as anchor
SoCal Connected, recent winner of two Golden Mikes, including Best News Public Affairs Show, and the regional winner of the Edward R. Murrow Award for Best News Documentary, airs Thursdays (8:00 – 8:30 p.m.) and Fridays (8:30 – 9:00 p.m.) exclusively on KCET.

T. Boone Pickens Highlights U.S. Oil Dependence for Sixth Consecutive Month
T. Boone Pickens Highlights U.S. Oil Dependence for Sixth Consecutive Month
U.S. Sent $21.6 Billion Overseas and Imported 366 Million Barrels of Oil in May 2009
DALLAS--June 5 2009 --Today energy expert T. Boone Pickens provided his sixth consecutive monthly update on the level of United States’ oil importation.
Pickens said that based on the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. imported 65 percent of its oil, or 366 million barrels, in May 2009, sending approximately $21.6 billion, or $484,087 per minute, overseas to foreign governments.
“If you’ve opened a paper or turned on the news this week, the bankruptcy filing of General Motors has dominated the headlines,” said Pickens, architect of the Pickens Plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil. “While there were many mitigating factors that contributed to its demise, I can’t help but point out that GM, along with the rest of the U.S. automakers, failed to keep up with innovations widely adopted elsewhere across the globe that could help wean this country off its oil addiction. I hope that as the company restructures under the watchful eye of the U.S. government it will make serious investments in developing vehicles that run on fuels such as natural gas that are available in this country, in addition to the investment in electric cars. Our staggering dependence on foreign oil is responsible for more than two-thirds of our trade deficit, and it’s killing our economy and putting our national security at risk; the automakers need to take some responsibility for getting us to this crisis point and participate in the solution of this critical issue. “
For the first five months of this year, the U.S. has imported 1.874 billion barrels, after spending approximately $475 billion on imported oil in 2008.
Pickens continued, “My army of more than 1.5 million Americans understands the threat importing nearly 70 percent of oil has on our national security and economy. President Obama has continually said that he is committed to significantly reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil during his term. We cannot waste anymore time, we need true energy reform now. I am confident that we will see Congress tackle important legislation in the coming months addressing the energy crisis.
“It remains critical to track our progress as a country as we work to reduce the amount of oil we import. I will continue to highlight our foreign oil dependence number every month, and I hope that we soon see a significant reduction.”
Unveiled on July 8, 2008 by T. Boone Pickens, the Pickens Plan is a detailed solution for ending the United States’ growing dependence on foreign oil. Last year, when oil prices reached $140/barrel, America was spending about $700 billion for foreign oil, equaling the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. That figure has decreased some while oil prices have retreated, but the U.S. is still dependent on foreign nations for nearly 70 percent of its oil, representing a continuing national economic and national security threat. The plan calls for investing in power generation from domestic renewable resources such as wind and using our abundant supplies of natural gas as a transportation fuel, replacing more than one-third of our imported oil.
More than 1.5 million people have joined the Pickens Army through the website www.pickensplan.com, which has had over 15,000,000 hits. For more information on the Pickens Plan please visit our website www.pickensplan.com.

I am confident that we will see Congress tackle important legislation in the coming months addressing the energy crisis.
“It remains critical to track our progress as a country as we work to reduce the amount of oil we import. I will continue to highlight our foreign oil dependence number every month, and I hope that we soon see a significant reduction.”
Unveiled on July 8, 2008 by T. Boone Pickens, the Pickens Plan is a detailed solution for ending the United States’ growing dependence on foreign oil. Last year, when oil prices reached $140/barrel, America was spending about $700 billion for foreign oil, equaling the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. That figure has decreased some while oil prices have retreated, but the U.S. is still dependent on foreign nations for nearly 70 percent of its oil, representing a continuing national economic and national security threat. The plan calls for investing in power generation from domestic renewable resources such as wind and using our abundant supplies of natural gas as a transportation fuel, replacing more than one-third of our imported oil.
More than 1.5 million people have joined the Pickens Army through the website www.pickensplan.com, which has had over 15,000,000 hits. For more information on the Pickens Plan please visit our website www.pickensplan.com.

Solar Stocks News: Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ:RSOL) to Install $30 Million Solar Power Program for Fremont Union High School District
Solar Stocks News: Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ:RSOL) to Install $30 Million Solar Power Program for Fremont Union High School District
Largest Direct Purchase by a Secondary School System in North America
CAMPBELL, Calif.--June 5 --Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ:RSOL) announced today it has signed a contract to design and install solar electric systems totaling 3.65 megawatts for the Fremont Union High School District in Sunnyvale, Cupertino and west San Jose, California. The new solar systems will be constructed as carports at all five high schools in the District and are expected to save District taxpayers over $12 million in the total cost of electricity over the next 25 years. The five systems will contribute enough electricity to cover about 45% of the power usage of each school. This solar program, exceeding $30 million, is believed to be the largest direct purchase by a secondary school system in North America, financed by a portion of a $198M school bond approved by the District’s voters in June 2008.
The District researched many alternative energy options before choosing Real Goods Solar for these installations across school campuses. The system monitoring that Real Goods Solar provides will enable campuses to track their electricity offset in the years ahead.
Glenn Evans, COO/Associate Superintendent, stated, “Electricity is our single largest expense other than teachers and staff and we can only use school bond funds for facilities and equipment. By investing bond dollars in solar, we will save many tens of millions of dollars on electric utility bills over the coming decades and that savings will go directly into supporting educational programs and students. Real Goods Solar worked very closely with us to develop a solar power system customized to our energy needs. Solar electricity will be a huge win for everyone – for taxpayers, for students, for our community and for the environment.”
A Groundbreaking ceremony will take place at the Homestead High School site on June 9 at 12:45 p.m.

HARA UNVEILS ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION FOR THE POST-CARBON ECONOMY
HARA UNVEILS ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT SOLUTION FOR THE POST-CARBON ECONOMY
Redefines how organizations measure and manage environmental impact and resource consumption beyond carbon; Funded by leading green investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
Menlo Park, Calif. – June 1, 2009 – Hara, the company dedicated to helping organizations grow and profit without depleting the earth’s resources, today unveiled HaraTM Environmental and Energy Management (Hara EEM), a comprehensive software as a service solution which enables organizations to holistically monitor and manage their natural resource consumption and environmental impact. Hara EEM gives customers auditable transparency and control over their organizational metabolism (OM) – the collective resources consumed and expended by an organization – including energy, fossil fuels, water, waste, carbon, and other resources. Funded in 2008 by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Hara is enabling customers to identify millions of dollars in savings from energy, water and waste abatement strategies
“Effective environmental management requires good insight, good analysis and good data,” said Bryan Jacob, Director of Energy Management and Climate Protection for The Coca-Cola Company. “We have been pleased to collaborate with Hara in the development of its Energy & Environmental Management solution – an application that combines data collection with mitigation planning and initiative tracking in a comprehensive package that enables us to improve energy efficiency and environmental impact.”
More than a dozen organizations, including The Coca-Cola Company and the City of Palo Alto, are already using Hara EEM to improve their operational efficiency, maximize shareholder value and manage risks while keeping up with changing externalities including pricing for commodities such as energy and pending regulation on a global scale.
Companies with a commitment to sustainability have outperformed their peers by 10 to 15 percent*. A perfect storm of business imperatives – environmental, economic, and regulatory – is requiring private and public sector organizations to act now. To date, while the imperatives are clear, most organizations have been without a transparent and auditable way to address these challenges. Hara provides a comprehensive solution to manage the environmental record, and prioritize and track reduction and cost savings initiatives that are both achievable and auditable under current or future regulations.
“Energy efficiency has never been more critical to corporate performance – directly in terms of bottom line costs but also indirectly in terms of related emissions from non-green energy sources,” said Dr. Stephen Stokes, Vice President of Sustainability and Green Technologies at AMR Research. “Tracking, analyzing and optimizing energy usage and emission outputs from economic entities is a crucial, additional, new class of enterprise information which will drive future operational and performance excellence.”
“Our vision is to enable a post-carbon economy in which organizations can grow and profit without depleting the earth’s resources,” said Amit Chatterjee, CEO and co-founder of Hara. “Together with our customers, we have the opportunity to write the encyclopedia of environmental efficiency, creating an unprecedented body of knowledge that will influence environmental impact reduction initiatives for years to come.”
About Hara Environmental and Energy Management (Hara EEM)
Hara EEM is a highly-configurable, software as a service (SaaS) application that quickly adapts to customer needs. Available since January 2009 on a subscription basis and already in use by more than a dozen customers, Hara EEM is comprised of the following application modules:
· Discover – Aggregate environmental record information from relevant data sources in order to provide a comprehensive view of resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental impact.

Canadian Hydro Acquires Windrise Prospect From EarthFirst Canada Inc.
Canadian Hydro Acquires Windrise Prospect From EarthFirst Canada Inc.
CALGARY, ALBERTA--- May 26, 2009 - Canada's largest and most diversified renewable energy company, Canadian Hydro Developers, Inc. (TSX:KHD), confirmed today the purchase of the Windrise Prospect (Windrise) from EarthFirst Canada Inc. for $250,000.
"The acquisition of Windrise is a strategic addition to our diverse portfolio of wind, run-of-river hydro and biomass development," says Kent Brown, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer. "It complements our vision to be the premier independent builder, owner and operator of renewable energy projects."
The site is located amongst a cluster of existing Canadian Hydro operations in southern Alberta, directly adjacent to the Company's Soderglen EcoPower® Centre near Fort Macleod, Alberta, where the Company has been working on the development of the 50 MW (25 MW net to Canadian Hydro's interest) Soderglen Expansion Wind Prospect. If built, Windrise represents a minimum capacity generation of 99 MW, enough to power nearly 100,000 homes.
"The geographic area is a consistently proven and excellent wind resource, so we fully intend to pursue developing this site," says Brown. "We have option agreements with the landowners in place."
Development of the site is dependent on a proposed 240 kV interconnection to the Alberta grid, which is expected to be in place in 2010. Canadian Hydro is continuing to gather data and work through the permitting process to prepare its application for provincial regulators.
About Canadian Hydro
Canadian Hydro Developers, Inc. is committed to Building a Sustainable Future®. The Company is the largest and most diversified developer, owner, and operator of 20 renewable energy generation facilities in Canada totaling net 496 MW of capacity in operation, 383 MW in and nearing construction, and 1,525 MW in development. The renewable generation portfolio is diversified across three technologies (water, wind, and biomass) in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec. This portfolio is unique in Canada as all facilities are certified, or slated for certification, under Environment Canada's EcoLogo(M) Program.

Metalysis attracts £5.1 million capital investment
Metalysis attracts £5.1 million capital investment
The special metals pioneer is successfully commercialising its unique technology, addressing global markets
Rotherham, South Yorkshire, UK, May 21, 2009 - Metalysis Ltd has raised a further £5.1 million to scale up its FFC Cambridge Process. The scale up will initially focus on the production of tantalum and titanium. All of the company’s current venture capital partners have invested further funds.
“Raising over £5 million in this environment is a significant endorsement of our core technology and the progress that the company has made. It is also a real endorsement of our management team and the potential of the business,” said Mark Bertolini, chief executive of Metalysis.
Metalysis owns the global Intellectual Property and commercial exploitation rights to the FFC Cambridge Process which, when compared to conventional technologies, enables a cheaper, less capital intensive and environmentally far more attractive production route to high value metals and alloys.
The South Yorkshire, UK-based company is already supplying low volumes of metallurgical grade powders to its partners and is scaling up its technology to enter both titanium and tantalum markets more significantly in 2010.
Tantalum and titanium powders are used increasingly in a diverse range of applications for the aerospace, marine, medical, chemical, automotive and electronics industries.
During the last five years Metalysis has raised £19 million in venture capital and a further £4 million in grants. From a workforce of three in 2005, the enterprise now employs 43 people in science and engineering, scale-up and commercial development operations.
The new funding comes from Environmental Technologies Fund along with 3i, Chord Capital, Seven Spires Investments and Cody Gate Ventures. In addition to providing working capital it will primarily be used to support the scale-up of a novel semi-continuous pilot plant.

Note to editor: About Metalysis
Metalysis Ltd. is the UK’s leading technology business for the global manufacture of special metals and alloys. Using the FFC Cambridge Process, the company has developed an important new technology for producing tantalum, titanium and other metals and alloys from their oxides.
The Process works for a vast range of metals, alloys and carbides with significant economic and environmental benefits over existing processes. Metalysis owns the worldwide exclusive exploitation rights to the FFC Cambridge Process. The Metalysis executive team is led by chief executive, Mark Bertolini and finance director, Harry Pepper.

The special metals pioneer is successfully commercialising its unique technology, addressing global markets
Rotherham, South Yorkshire, UK, May 21, 2009 - Metalysis Ltd has raised a further £5.1 million to scale up its FFC Cambridge Process. The scale up will initially focus on the production of tantalum and titanium. All of the company’s current venture capital partners have invested further funds.
“Raising over £5 million in this environment is a significant endorsement of our core technology and the progress that the company has made. It is also a real endorsement of our management team and the potential of the business,” said Mark Bertolini, chief executive of Metalysis.
Metalysis owns the global Intellectual Property and commercial exploitation rights to the FFC Cambridge Process which, when compared to conventional technologies, enables a cheaper, less capital intensive and environmentally far more attractive production route to high value metals and alloys.
The South Yorkshire, UK-based company is already supplying low volumes of metallurgical grade powders to its partners and is scaling up its technology to enter both titanium and tantalum markets more significantly in 2010.
Tantalum and titanium powders are used increasingly in a diverse range of applications for the aerospace, marine, medical, chemical, automotive and electronics industries.
During the last five years Metalysis has raised £19 million in venture capital and a further £4 million in grants. From a workforce of three in 2005, the enterprise now employs 43 people in science and engineering, scale-up and commercial development operations.
The new funding comes from Environmental Technologies Fund along with 3i, Chord Capital, Seven Spires Investments and Cody Gate Ventures. In addition to providing working capital it will primarily be used to support the scale-up of a novel semi-continuous pilot plant.

President Obama Announces National Fuel Efficiency Policy
President Obama Announces National Fuel Efficiency Policy
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary______________________________________________________FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 19, 2009
WASHINGTON, DC – President Obama today – for the first time in history – set in motion a new national policy aimed at both increasing fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks sold in the United States. The new standards, covering model years 2012-2016, and ultimately requiring an average fuel economy standard of 35.5 mpg in 2016, are projected to save 1.8 billion barrels of oil over the life of the program with a fuel economy gain averaging more than 5 percent per year and a reduction of approximately 900 million metric tons in greenhouse gas emissions. This would surpass the CAFE law passed by Congress in 2007 required an average fuel economy of 35 mpg in 2020.
"In the past, an agreement such as this would have been considered impossible," said President Obama. "That is why this announcement is so important, for it represents not only a change in policy in Washington, but the harbinger of a change in the way business is done in Washington. As a result of this agreement, we will save 1.8 billion barrels of oil over the lifetime of the vehicles sold in the next five years. And at a time of historic crisis in our auto industry, this rule provides the clear certainty that will allow these companies to plan for a future in which they are building the cars of the 21st century."
This groundbreaking policy delivers on the President’s commitment to enact more stringent fuel economy standards and represents an unprecedented collaboration between the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the world’s largest auto manufacturers, the United Auto Workers, leaders in the environmental community, the State of California, and other state governments.
"The President brought all stakeholders to the table and came up with a plan to help the auto industry, safeguard consumers, and protect human health and the environment for all Americans," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "A supposedly 'unsolvable' problem was solved by unprecedented partnerships. As a result, we will keep Americans healthier, cut tons of pollution from the air we breathe, and make a lasting down payment on cutting our greenhouse gas emissions."
"A clear and uniform national policy is not only good news for consumers who will save money at the pump, but this policy is also good news for the auto industry which will no longer be subject to a costly patchwork of differing rules and regulations," said Carol M. Browner, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change. "This an incredible step forward for our country and another way for Americans to become more energy independent and reduce air pollution.",
A national policy on fuel economy standards and greenhouse gas emissions is welcomed by the auto manufacturers because it provides regulatory certainty and predictability and includes flexibilities that will significantly reduce the cost of compliance. The collaboration of federal agencies also allows for clearer rules for all automakers, instead of three standards (DOT, EPA and a state standard).
"President Obama is uniting federal and state governments, the auto industry, labor unions and the environmental community behind a program that will provide for the biggest leap in history to make automobiles more fuel efficient," said Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "This program lessens our dependence on oil and is good for America and the planet."News & Stories Published at Clean Energy Stocks Blog

President Obama Says Progress on Clean Energy and Healthcare Reform Will Lay New Foundation
WEEKLY ADDRESS: President Obama Says Progress on Clean Energy and Healthcare Reform Will Lay New Foundation
WASHINGTON – This week, President Barack Obama praised individuals representing different perspectives for coming together to address the challenges of building a clean energy economy, reforming the healthcare system and laying a new foundation for the long-term strength of our economy. Utility companies and corporate leaders are working with environmental advocates and labor leaders to find a way to reduce dependence on foreign oil, to fight climate change, and to create millions of new jobs in America. Recently, past critics and advocates of healthcare reform sat down with the President to work on reducing the healthcare costs by $2 trillion in the next decade and saving families $2,500 in the coming years.
The full audio of the address is HERE. The video can be viewed online at www.whitehouse.gov.
Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, May 16, 2009
Good morning. Over the past few months, as we have put in place a plan to speed our economic recovery, I have spoken repeatedly of the need to lay a new foundation for lasting prosperity; a foundation that will support good jobs and rising incomes; a foundation for economic growth where we no longer rely on excessive debt and reckless risk – but instead on skilled workers and sound investments to lead the world in the industries of the 21st century.
Two pillars of this new foundation are clean energy and health care. And while there remains a great deal of difficult work ahead, I am heartened by what we have seen these past few days: a willingness of those with different points of view and disparate interests to come together around common goals – to embrace a shared sense of responsibility and make historic progress.
Chairman Henry Waxman and members of the Energy and Commerce Committee brought together stakeholders from all corners of the country – and every sector of our economy – to reach an historic agreement on comprehensive energy legislation. It’s another promising sign of progress, as longtime opponents are sitting together, at the same table, to help solve one of America’s most serious challenges.
For the first time, utility companies and corporate leaders are joining, not opposing, environmental advocates and labor leaders to create a new system of clean energy initiatives that will help unleash a new era of growth and prosperity.
It’s a plan that will finally reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil and cap the carbon pollution that threatens our health and our climate. Most important, it’s a plan that will trigger the creation of millions of new jobs for Americans, who will produce the wind turbines and solar panels and develop the alternative fuels to power the future. Because this we know: the nation that leads in 21st century clean energy is the nation that will lead the 21st century global economy. America can and must be that nation – and this agreement is a major step toward this goal.
But we know that our families, our economy, and our nation itself will not succeed in the 21st century if we continue to be held down by the weight of rapidly rising health care costs and a broken health care system. That’s why I met with representatives of insurance and drug companies, doctors and hospitals, and labor unions who are pledging to do their part to reduce health care costs. These are some of the groups who have been among the fiercest critics of past comprehensive health care reform plans. But today they too are recognizing that we must act. Our businesses will not be able to compete; our families will not be able to save or spend; our budgets will remain unsustainable unless we get health care costs under control.
These groups have pledged to do their part to reduce the annual health care spending growth rate by 1.5 percentage points. Coupled with comprehensive reform, their efforts could help to save our nation more than $2 trillion in the next ten years – and save hardworking families $2,500 each in the coming years.
This week, I also invited Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and other congressional leaders to the White House to discuss comprehensive health reform legislation. The House is working to pass a bill by the end of July – before they head out for their August recess. That’s the kind of urgency and determination we need to achieve comprehensive reform by the end of this year. And the reductions in spending the health care community has pledged will help make this reform possible.
I have always believed that it is better to talk than not to talk; that it is far more productive to reach over a divide than to shake your fist across it. This has been an alien notion in Washington for far too long, but we are seeing that the ways of Washington are beginning to change. For the calling of this moment is too loud and too urgent to ignore. Our success as a nation – the future of our children and grandchildren – depends upon our willingness to cast aside old arguments, overcome stubborn divisions, and march forward as one people and one nation.
This is how progress has always been made. This is how a new foundation will be built. We cannot assume that interests will always align, or that fragile partnerships will not fray. There will be setbacks. There will be difficult days. But we are off to a good start. And I am confident that we will – in the weeks, months, and years ahead – build on what we have already achieved and lay this foundation which will not only bring about prosperity for this generation, but for generations to come.
Thanks so much.

Wind Industry Leaders Warn Congress That a Weak RES Could Cede Jobs to Asia, Europe
Wind Industry Leaders Warn Congress That a Weak RES Could Cede Jobs to Asia, Europe
WASHINGTON--May 15 2009 --A group of representatives from major wind industry companies today released a letter to key members of Congress urging them to strengthen the renewable electricity standard (RES) contained in the draft bill unveiled this week by House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Henry Waxman.
“We are concerned that the significantly lower renewable targets currently being discussed, as compared to proposals from President Obama, Chairman Bingaman and Chairman Markey, will severely blunt the signal for companies like ours that manufacture turbines and components to invest billions of dollars to expand production and our workforces in the U.S.,” the letter said.
It was signed by representatives of GE Energy, Vestas Americas, Gamesa, NRG Systems, REPower USA, Broadwind Energy, TPI Composites, PPG Industries, Clipper Windpower and AWEA.
“A national RES is one of the strongest policies to promote more renewable energy because the combination of long-term demand and an immediate market triggers investment in manufacturing facilities. An RES provides specific near-, mid-, and long-market demand that other policies do not offer,” the letter said.
The Waxman bill, co-introduced by Rep. Edward Markey, chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee, includes a renewable electricity standard that is less than one-half the level proposed by President Obama and Chairman Markey’s original proposal. AWEA supports an RES of 25% by 2025.
The letter also warned, “America is on the verge of losing the wind manufacturing industry to Asia and Europe. There is significant international trade in wind turbines and the competition to host this industry is intense. America trails its competition in passing stable renewable energy policy commitments. Thirty-seven other countries have firm commitments.”
AWEA is the national trade association of America’s wind industry, with more than 2,000 member companies, including global leaders in wind power and energy development, wind turbine manufacturing, component and service suppliers, and the world’s largest wind power trade show. AWEA is the voice of wind energy in the U.S., promoting renewable energy to power a cleaner, stronger America. Look up information on wind energy at the AWEA Web site.

WASHINGTON--May 15 2009 --A group of representatives from major wind industry companies today released a letter to key members of Congress urging them to strengthen the renewable electricity standard (RES) contained in the draft bill unveiled this week by House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Henry Waxman.
“We are concerned that the significantly lower renewable targets currently being discussed, as compared to proposals from President Obama, Chairman Bingaman and Chairman Markey, will severely blunt the signal for companies like ours that manufacture turbines and components to invest billions of dollars to expand production and our workforces in the U.S.,” the letter said.
It was signed by representatives of GE Energy, Vestas Americas, Gamesa, NRG Systems, REPower USA, Broadwind Energy, TPI Composites, PPG Industries, Clipper Windpower and AWEA.
“A national RES is one of the strongest policies to promote more renewable energy because the combination of long-term demand and an immediate market triggers investment in manufacturing facilities. An RES provides specific near-, mid-, and long-market demand that other policies do not offer,” the letter said.
The Waxman bill, co-introduced by Rep. Edward Markey, chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee, includes a renewable electricity standard that is less than one-half the level proposed by President Obama and Chairman Markey’s original proposal. AWEA supports an RES of 25% by 2025.
The letter also warned, “America is on the verge of losing the wind manufacturing industry to Asia and Europe. There is significant international trade in wind turbines and the competition to host this industry is intense. America trails its competition in passing stable renewable energy policy commitments. Thirty-seven other countries have firm commitments.”
AWEA is the national trade association of America’s wind industry, with more than 2,000 member companies, including global leaders in wind power and energy development, wind turbine manufacturing, component and service suppliers, and the world’s largest wind power trade show. AWEA is the voice of wind energy in the U.S., promoting renewable energy to power a cleaner, stronger America. Look up information on wind energy at the AWEA Web site.

Camelina Cuts Jet Emissions 84 Percent
Camelina Cuts Jet Emissions 84 Percent
Industry leader welcomes study
(Cincinnati, OH 5/12/09) A life cycle analysis conducted by Michigan Technological University shows thatjet fuel made from camelina could lead to drastic cuts in carbon emissions from traditional fuel. Great Plains Oil & Exploration, the largest camelina company in the world, welcomes the results of the study.
"This confirms what we have learned about camelina and why we established camelina as a biofuel source,"
said Great Plains CEO Sam Huttenbauer, III. "We studied and improved camelina production for a decade
before we launched the crop commercially, knowing that this crop will be a leader in next generation
biofuels."
"The fuel industry could be revolutionized by this amazing plant," added Huttenbauer.
The study, conducted by Michigan Tech professor David Shonnard, also points out that camelina can be
converted into drop-in jet fuel. That means that engines can use 100 percent fuel made from camelina
instead of traditional jet fuel with no performance or maintenance changes. The difference is the effect
camelina has on the environment.
Throughout camelina’s life cycle, the study showed the drop in carbon emissions is about 84 percent when
compared to the emissions throughout the life cycle of traditional jet fuel. Professor Shonnard stated,
"Camelina jet fuel exhibits one of the largest greenhouse gas emission reductions of any agricultural
feedstock-derived biofuel I've ever seen".
Results Will Improve
Great Plains is the world’s largest supplier of camelina seed to farmers and camelina oil to biofuel
producers. The company has exclusive access to the majority of the world’s camelina germplasm. Further,
Great Plains has contracted the vast majority of acres commercially growing camelina in North America.
The company is working to improve camelina yields to prepare for the explosive demand for camelina oil in
the coming years. Through agronomic practices, varieties suited for specific geographic and climate
conditions, traditional breeding, and biotech solutions, Great Plains is leading the charge to bring camelina
into aviation and other biofuel production.
"This will be a record year for camelina," said Huttenbauer. "We are experiencing tremendous growth in
contracted acreage and our intellectual property is driving rapid increases in yield. This study illustrates
what we have known. Camelina is at the forefront of the changing fuel landscape in North America."
About Great Plains Oil & Exploration

Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch; The Stock Market and Solar Market Sector Outlook
Investorideas.com Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch; The Stock Market and Solar Market Sector Outlook
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York- May 13 2009- Investorideas.com a leading green investor portal, presents solar stocks commentary with J .Peter Lynch, a solar expert and frequent contributor to Investorideas.com.

As I have said many times over the years solar stocks have a bright future, a very bright future. But investors have to understand a number of things about the current stock market and solar stocks in particular in order to fully take advantage of this long-term trend.
Markets go up and markets go down and these moves usually occur when it is least expected. At the present time solar stocks, the energy industry and the market in general have been in a totally amazing rally since early March 2009. Unfortunately the market and solar stocks have put on the equivalent gains two excellent years (NOT average years) in the past 8 weeks and in my opinion this is simply not sustainable.
As I said in early March in my previous article:
“The Dow Jones Industrial Index recently recorded a twelve year low and the media is FULL of doom and gloom. This terrible news was all over the financial press, accompanied by scenarios of more of the same to come. In fact, the recent survey from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) had fallen to the most bearish level in history – 70% of those surveyed felt that the direction of the market would be DOWN over the next 6 months”.
“Nothing is 100% for sure, as we all know. But I think we are either at a significant bottom or very close to it. Everything is so “oversold” at this time, that I think the worst case is that we get a significant rally in what could still be a bear market”.
“Keep in mind that ALL the bad news out there is in media now. We already know all the bad news. Remember that the stock market IS actually a discounting mechanism which looks out 6 to 9 months into the future. We do not need GOOD NEWS to turn the market around, only LESS bad news”.
Well in retrospect that was certainly prescient insight and the market took off with most of the major indexes being up over 25% and some of the foreign markets being up over 35% percent and the solar sector of the market being UP over 70% in JUST 8 WEEKS more than triple the general market indexes.

About PV CYCLE
PV CYCLE was founded in 2007 with the specific purpose of implementing the photovoltaic industry's commitment to set up a voluntary take-back and recycling program for end-of-life waste PV modules. To produce green and renewable energy, end-of-life modules need to be recovered and recycled. This will minimize waste and allow the re-use of valuable raw materials to produce new modules. The members of PV CYCLE are in the final stages of developing the scheme and aim to present it to the European Commission by spring 2009 for formal acknowledgement. By closing the life cycle of photovoltaic modules, industry players take their responsibility and are ''Making the photovoltaic industry Double Green.''
