Yahoo! Survey of Consumers for Earth Day

Yahoo! recently completed a survey of U.S. consumers to find out how they plan to celebrate Earth Day, what environmental issues are top of mind, and how much recycling and reusing are a part of daily life. The answers may surprise you – more than half of all those surveyed didn’t even know that April 22nd was Earth Day.


Consumer knowledge of key ‘environmental terms”
The word global warming, reuse and carbon neutral can mean many things to many individuals. Most Americans claim to know how to define global warming and understand the concept of reuse. However, only a third of all Americans can define the word carbon neutral.

Impacting The Environment
Consumers believe that reuse, recycling and curbing car use is the most effective way to positively impact the environment. However, education about global warming is still needed as less than half believe that Global warming is bad for their personal health, and only one in ten believe that eating meat might be bad for the environment.
Interestingly enough, only ½ of all consumers believe that their individual contribution has any impact on the earth as a whole.

Thinking And Action
63% of consumers recycle and 57% reuse products every chance they get. Many are also using energy efficient appliances and light bulbs around the home. However, apart from recycling, consumers are significantly less likely to give up red meat, take public transportation, carpool and even buy environmentally friendly cleaning supplies.
Boomers have an elevated sense of urgency when it comes to the environment. They feel significantly more positive about their individual contribution maybe because of their elevated belief that global warming will impact them in their lifetime. That train of thought and thinking leads significantly greater action in recycling, reuse, and green clean product buying. This thinking translates into advocacy, as a quarter will convince friends to buy eco-friendly products when they ask my opinion on purchases.
However, not even they are more likely to take more public transportation, carpool or abstain from meat.
Even with all these initiatives around the environment, nearly half believe Global Warming won’t impact their generation or lifetime and 1/5 believe it is a sensationalized story by the media.

Recycling and reusing, why not?
Among those who don’t recycle, the biggest reason is difficulty where they live, simply forgetting and not knowing where to go to recycle. Nearly 4 in 10 don’t know why they don’t reuse more. Lack of knowledge is the biggest barrier to reusing different products.
The biggest driver to product reuse is cost savings which is at parity with the positive environmental impact. A functional cost savings message tied with the positive impact on environment may most appeal when talking about reuse to consumers.
One very positive outcome is that nearly 90% of Americans would consider product reuse products if more education was done on the matter. In fact, a third of Boomers are ready to make a change to reuse products every chance they get if provided with the right information.
39% of all consumers will pay a little extra for environmentally friendly products

Earth Day
More than half didn’t know that April 22 is Earth Day. 44% of all consumers have no plans to do anything during Earth Day. However, among those who do know about earth day, almost seven in ten will participate in an earth day event. Most will participate in recycling or tree planting. A quarter will participate in an earth day event.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close- Up on Solar Stocks Performance; “Solar Stocks Exploded to the Upside” Reports J. Peter Lynch

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close- Up on Solar Stocks Performance; “Solar Stocks Exploded to the Upside” Reports J. Peter Lynch

Foreign Investment in Thin Film Solar Stock Attributed to Momentum


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –March 31, 2008, www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close- up on solar stocks following last weeks surge.

Commenting on recent solar stock activity, Brian C. Yerger, Research Analyst at Jesup & Lamont Securities attributed some of the momentum to thin film solar company, Ascent Solar Technologies
(News, Market ). Norsk Hydro ASA increased ownership in ASTI by purchasing an additional 2,341,897 shares with gross proceeds to the company of approximately $28.4 million. He reports in an audio commentary, “With a weak dollar, foreign companies may be looking at some of these smaller solar stocks as extremely cheap investments in terms of future performance.”

Other factors in the solar stocks spike include earnings from Solarfun beating estimates and the announcement of the Southern California Edison (News, Market) 250 megawatt installation.

Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J Peter Lynch gives a different spin,” In my opinion, one of the primary reasons for this solar rally is really quite simple – NO MORE SELLERS were left to drive solar stock down any further. In his recent column he goes on to say, “Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, solar stocks literally exploded (up over 15% for the week) catching almost everyone by total surprise. The general market has recently been in turmoil over the housing crisis, the credit crunch and the looming fear of an impending recession; not exactly a general market environment conducive for rallies in any sector. But in spite of this bleak backdrop the solar sector roared ahead regardless.”

In terms of future success in the solar sector he reports he looks for companies that are “ vertically integrated in the traditional silicon segment, have cost effective thin film products or are in higher margin areas such as building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). “

Lux Research forecasts a shakeout in the solar industry, “We project that the supply of solar modules will exceed demand in 2009, leading to falling prices and a shake-out among companies that aren’t prepared to thrive in this new environment – particularly crystalline silicon players that haven’t invested in new thin-film technologies.”

Tom Djokovich, CEO of thin film solar company XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) presented,
“Thin film solar technologies offer opportunities to deliver the lower cost per watt. This is due to lower material costs, and the ability to scale and automate manufacturing processes. I believe that these are among the reasons that analysts anticipate greater compounded growth rates for thin films than other solar technologies.”

XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) is developing amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell manufacturing processes to produce TFPV solar modules. XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) closed at 0.44 on Friday, up 10.00% on over 460,000 shares.

Mr. Green goes on to discuss the company’s X-Trax™ Solar monitoring system that was developed in- house and the development of new technologies moving forward. “If we need a specific tool for the industry to give us an edge over the competition, we need to develop it in- house so we can be more expeditious in our installations, be more competitive in our pricing, and of course add to the speed of the installations while maintaining high quality. We are always developing new products and filing patents to make sure we are leading and cutting edge in the industry. “

Credit Suisse to Make Strategic Investment in Renewable Energy Sector Through Hudson Clean Energy Partners
John Cavalier, Top Alternative Energy Banker, to Join Hudson from Credit Suisse

NEW YORK--March 27 2008 --Hudson Clean Energy Partners and Credit Suisse announced today that they have reached an agreement in principle whereby Credit Suisse, together with its clients and affiliates, will commit at least USD 300 million to make principal investments in the renewable energy sector through Hudson. As part of this, John Cavalier, Head of Credit Suisse’s Renewable Energy investment banking practice, will join Hudson as a Partner. In his new capacity, Mr. Cavalier will join Neil Auerbach, Hudson’s founder, as Co-Managing Partner of the investment platform.

Prior to founding Hudson, Mr. Auerbach was a Partner at Goldman Sachs, where he created and led Goldman’s U.S. Alternative Energy investment business and managed over USD 3 billion in assets for the firm. Auerbach launched Hudson with Daniel Gross and Joseph Slamm, former Goldman colleagues from the U.S. Alternative Energy investment business who are also Partners at Hudson.

Mr. Cavalier said, “Credit Suisse has been looking to invest its own capital in renewable energy for a long time, and the firm has been supportive of my desire to transition from investment banking to principal investing in the sector. We were highly selective in searching for the right team. Hudson’s principals have an unparalleled track record of successfully backing the leading companies in the industry. I am highly confident that Hudson will become the premier private equity firm in the clean energy sector for years to come.”

Mr. Auerbach said, “We are thrilled to receive such a resounding endorsement through this investment from the leading investment bank in the industry, and I am delighted that John Cavalier has decided to join me in managing the firm. As the leading banker in the renewable energy industry, John brings a wealth of experience and relationships to Hudson that will accelerate our ability to identify and create the best investment opportunities and deliver outstanding investment returns to our limited partners. Our strategic relationship with Credit Suisse promises to be hugely accretive to Hudson. We have already begun to see their impressive pipeline of deal flow.”

Brian Finn, Chairman of Alternative Investments at Credit Suisse, said, “We are excited about making this strategic investment in Hudson and believe there is a real untapped opportunity in this attractive asset class. The Hudson team brings deep industry experience and an extraordinary investment track record. Offering Hudson Credit Suisse’s expertise in developed and emerging markets, alternative investments, and renewable energy investment banking, as well as deal flow, adds a significant dimension.”

New ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) Electric Truck Offers More Payload Capacity

New ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) Electric Truck Offers More Payload Capacity

SANTA ROSA, Calif., March 24, 2008 - With gasoline prices predicted to reach new records in 2008 and government and corporate fleets scrambling to reduce costs, electric car pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) is introducing a new electric truck for fleets with a greater payload rating.
A prototype of the ZAP XL Truck has been completed and production models are expected for delivery to customers by the fall of this year. In the United States, the XL Truck will meet full Department of Transportation requirements for Low Speed Vehicles with a top speed of 25 MPH. As part of ZAP's global distribution strategy, the ZAP Truck XL will be designed to meet or exceed government certifications that would allow for distribution throughout most of the world.

ZAP has delivered hundreds of its city-speed vehicle called the Xebra for fleet applications, but fleet managers are also searching for larger electric vehicles that can handle heavier payloads. Both the Xebra and the XL Truck have a two-passenger capacity, but while the payload rating for the Xebra is 500 pounds, the payload for the XL Truck is rated at 770 pounds. The cargo bed of the XL Truck is also larger at 58" long X 53" wide and 11.5" deep.

California-based ZAP has executed an electric vehicle development and worldwide exclusive distribution agreement with a vehicle manufacturer in China. The two companies began development of the XL Truck last year and have finalized an agreement to enter production. ZAP is now accepting reservations for the XL Truck at its website http://www.zapworld.com.

Telkonet SmartEnergy and Telkonet, Inc.(AMEX: TKO)Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) is an intelligent, occupancy-driven in-room energy management system, providing an economic, green approach to controlling HVAC usage and improving energy efficiency. It incorporates a patented technology – Recovery Time™ (RT) that performs constant real-time calculations to adjust and maintain a room’s temperature based on occupancy. Unlike conventional fixed-setback systems, where the temperature is often forced to one fixed temperature in all rooms, RT takes into account a diverse range of factors to determine each room’s energy efficient temperature, restoring the temperature to the users’ desired comfort setting within minutes of returning to a room. TSE has been proven to deliver a rapid return on investment, often achieving quantifiable savings of approximately 30% by eliminating the wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms. Operating on an individual room-by-room basis, the system uses a combination of occupancy sensors, along with intelligent programmable thermostats or PTAC controllers, underpinned by RT’s unique functionality that ensures rooms are never excessively hot or cold when an occupant returns to the room.

GE–Transportation Endorses New Tier 3 and 4 Emission Regulations

GE–Transportation Endorses New Tier 3 and 4 Emission Regulations
Company Welcomes EPA’s Ambitious Targets and Balanced Approach to Lower Emissions of Diesel Locomotive and Marine Engines

ERIE, Pa GE – Transportation, a global technology innovator and supplier to the railroad, marine, mining and wind industries, welcomed the new Tier 3 and 4 emission regulations issued by the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today. The new rules govern the emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) generated by new diesel engines in rail and marine applications starting in 2012.

Tier 3 emission standards will take effect in 2012 followed by Tier 4 in 2015. Tier 4 locomotive emission standards will start two years earlier than outlined in previous proposals and thereby lead to significant environmental benefits sooner.

“GE - Transportation welcomes the new and well-conceived Tier 3 and 4 emissions standards,” said John M. Dineen, President and CEO of GE- Transportation, a leading manufacturer of diesel locomotives and marine engines. “The EPA set ambitious targets to lower emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. We value the EPA’s comprehensive and balanced approach which represents wins for all stakeholders involved.”

Added Dineen: “The EPA’s new and tough emission standards will drive technological innovation in our industry to significantly lower emissions.”

GE’s transportation business joined an inclusive stakeholder group consisting of government and industry, as well as environmental and community organizations to assist in the development of the new Tier 3 and 4 emission standards.

GE – Transportation expects that the EPA’s new emission standards will spawn innovation and benefit its railroad customers and communities worldwide – as much as past regulatory efforts have. In response to the EPA’s Tier 0 through Tier 2 regulations, GE’s transportation business invested approximately $400 million to develop the Evolution® Series locomotive over an eight-year period. Entering the market in 2005, the Evolution® Series locomotive is now the most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and eco-friendly diesel-electric locomotive in history. It delivers up to 5% higher fuel efficiency and a 40% reduction in emissions over its predecessor. If every freight locomotive in North America were as clean as GE’s Evolution®, the annual reduction of emissions would compare to removing 48 million cars from the road each year.

Today, the Evolution® Series locomotive is one of GE - Transportation’s best-selling products in markets worldwide. More than 2,400 Evolution® Series locomotives are in use today proving that fuel efficient, low emissions, eco-friendly transportation solutions and global business growth go hand in hand. The Evolution® Series locomotive serves as one of GE’s first products to be certified as part of its “Ecomagination” initiative. Ecomagination is a company wide commitment to developing technology designed to help customers satisfy environmental challenges, to maximize performance and reduce cost.

GE – Transportation’s commitment to green technologies did not end with the Evolution® Series locomotive. The company developed a diesel-electric hybrid prototype. Bearing road number 2010, the 4,400 horsepower Evolution® Hybrid locomotive will feature a series of innovative batteries which will capture and store energy dissipated during dynamic braking. The energy generated by braking a 207-ton locomotive during the course of one year is enough to power 160 households for that year. Battery technology will reduce fuel consumption upwards of 30,000 gallons per year per locomotive and emissions by up to 10 percent when compared to the existing Evolution® Series locomotive.

About GE Transportation

Established more than 100 years ago, GE – Transportation, a unit of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE), is a global technology leader and supplier to the railroad, marine, drilling, mining and wind industries. GE provides freight and passenger locomotives, railway signaling and communications systems, information technology solutions, marine engines, motorized drive systems for mining trucks and drills, high-quality replacement parts and value added services.

Clear Skies Solar Continues to Solidify Position as Leading Designer of Innovative Solar Energy Solutions

Clear Skies Solar Continues to Solidify Position as Leading Designer of Innovative Solar Energy Solutions

Unveils Revolutionary TetraPort Solar Carport System, Combining Solar Energy Functionality with Architectural Artistry

LOS ANGELES, CA - Clear Skies Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB:CSKH), today announced its new proprietary TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System, the most advanced system of its kind to enter the marketplace and the third in a series of cutting-edge solar solutions conceived and developed exclusively by Clear Skies Solar.
Designed for corporations seeking to implement "green" practices while maintaining the architectural integrity and aesthetic elements of their complexes, the TetraPort encompasses spans of up to forty feet or more and includes independent AC power outlets for electric or hybrid automobiles.
"The TetraPort is both a fully functioning solar energy carport and an architectural artwork that any corporation would be proud to display in its parking area," said Ezra Green, Chairman and CEO of Clear Skies Solar. "We've removed the cold, formless industrial look characteristic of conventional carports and replaced it with innovative design and engineering that will keep people talking."
Constructed from steel and aluminum, the TetraPort can be painted any color to reflect the individual themes of corporations, and the system's design versatility allows for the use of any solar module on the market. The TetraPort can withstand wind speeds of up to 125 mph and includes a dioxide shield, designed to resist weather effects over many years.
"Corporations often want to incorporate green practices but lack the roof space to install other types of solar energy systems," noted Green. "Meanwhile, many commercial complexes require carports for sun protection. The TetraPort resolves both issues."
With the rare combination of architectural value and solar functionality, the TetraPort is comparable or lower in cost to conventional solar carports offering only functionality. Additionally, because the TetraPort is modular, installation requires less time than needed with conventional models.
Clear Skies Solar designs, engineers, manufacturers, and installs the most advanced and cutting-edge technology currently available in the renewable energy market. In-house architects, electronics experts, and electricians offering combined decades of construction experience make CSS not only a one-stop solution provider but also the leading solar project developer in the United States today.
The TetraPort is the latest innovation of Clear Skies Group's research and development department, and it comes on the heels of the patented XTRAX® Solar Monitoring System and the proprietary Solar Power Supply (SPS) Vehicle Data Monitoring Device. Designed for sub-100kw residential and commercial customers, XTRAX® reliably monitors solar electrical production and delivers autonomous data readings to ensure optimal system performance levels. SPS, meanwhile, was designed and built by Clear Skies Group on specification to meet the unique needs of a New Jersey-based vehicle data monitoring company.
"We are one of the only solar integrators in the United States to house our own dedicated research and development department," concluded Green, "and because of this, we are able to provide solutions to our clients' specific needs."
The TetraPort will be available for purchase in Spring 2008.

About Telkonet SmartEnergy

Telkonet SmartEnergy (TSE) is an intelligent, occupancy-driven in-room energy management system, providing an economic, green approach to controlling HVAC usage and improving energy efficiency. It incorporates a patented technology – Recovery Time™ (RT) that performs constant real-time calculations to adjust and maintain a room’s temperature based on occupancy. Unlike conventional fixed-setback systems, where the temperature is often forced to one fixed temperature in all rooms, RT takes into account a diverse range of factors to determine each room’s energy efficient temperature, restoring the temperature to the users’ desired comfort setting within minutes of returning to a room.

TSE has been proven to deliver a rapid return on investment, typically achieving quantifiable savings of around 30% by eliminating the wasteful heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms. Operating on an individual room-by-room basis, the system uses a combination of occupancy sensors, along with intelligent programmable thermostats or PTAC controllers, underpinned by RT’s unique functionality that ensures rooms are never excessively hot or cold when an occupant returns to the room.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Audio Interview With
Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX)

CEO of XsunX, Inc. Provides Comparison of Amorphous Silicon with Silicon Wafer Technology


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC—March 11, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,

Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX).

Mr. Djokovich provides valuable solar technology insight with his comparison of their amorphous silicon with conventional silicon wafer technology. He stated, “Amorphous silicon has certain properties that make it a better solar absorber than silicon wafer. The bottom line is that on a watt per watt basis, it outperforms many other technologies, specifically silicon wafer because it starts working earlier in the morning, works later into the evening, is more efficient in cloud cover and at the same time has minimal thermal degradation during the warmest parts of the day.”

Mr. Djokovich goes on to discuss XsunX’s phased roll out of production capacity, growing manufacturing capacities to over 100 megawatts by 2010 and what that means for investor’s patient enough to wait it out. He also provides an update on the current status of the production facility and insight into the company’s target markets and competitive strengths in the solar industry.
