Investorideas.com “Investing in Water” Podcast with Bill Brennan; Update on the Performance of the New Kinetics Water Infrastructure Fund and Insight into the Global Water Industry
The Growing Global Water Crisis and Investment Opportunity; Perspectives and Insight into the U.S., China and Middle East’s Water Infrastructure Problems and Solutions
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – October 26, 2007, Investorideas.com and its Water-stocks.com Podcast series “Investing in Water” present an in-depth interview with Mr. Bill Brennan, President & Managing Partner of Aqua Terra Asset Management and Senior Portfolio Manager of the Praetor Global Water Fund. Mr. Brennan discusses the performance of the Kinetics Water Infrastructure Fund and provides insight into the global water infrastructure crisis and investment opportunity.
According to Mr. Brennan the Kinetics Water Infrastructure Fund has done well compared to the overall market performance, relative to the Indices, since the July 2nd launch and is currently up 3%.
In the Podcast Mr. Brennan discusses water infrastructure spending in the next 20 years in the US, China and Middle East and provides insight into short tem and long-term investing opportunities. “ An investment of $1- $2 Trillion will be needed to fully modernize the global water systems within the next 20 years. In China alone, in the next 18 months we expect China to double its spending on water infrastructure.”
Some additional alarming comments from Mr. Brennan to take note of as both investors and consumers:
“ There is 1.5 million miles of pipe for drinking water and waste water that exists in the US and at least half if not more has passed its useful life.”
“ We expect water bills to go up by a factor of 5-10 times over the next 10 years just to meet the needs of the rebuilding of the water infrastructure in the United States. So that $50 water utility bill you are now paying could grow to $250 to $500 based on where you live geographically.”
On the upside to potential investors, he sees a great investment theme that is sustainable on a long-term basis. To sum it up- “ You can go without cable, survive without a land line coming into your home but if water does not come into your facility your property value goes to zero as it becomes uninhabitable” .

Significant Demand over Supply of Water, Need for Infrastructure Investment and M&A activity Generates Growing Interest in Water Sector and Re-Valuati
Significant Demand over Supply of Water, Need for Infrastructure Investment and M&A activity Generates Growing Interest in Water Sector and Re-Valuation of Water Stocks
Water Stocks Audio Podcast with Craig McIntosh, Investment Manager of the MFS Water Fund Discusses Challenges and Investment Opportunities within Australia and Globally
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – September 20, 2007, http://www.water-stocks.com/, an investor and industry portal for the water sector, presents an audio investor podcast with Mr. Craig McIntosh, Investment Manager of the MFS Water Fund, a dynamically managed Australian dollar denominated fund focused on growth prospects and investment opportunities related to the Global Water Sector. The MFS Water Fund focuses on publicly traded water companies of all sizes from around the world, following more than 250 companies.
Investing in the water business has proven to be a successful strategy for many investors and with issues of water scarcity, quality and infrastructure repair or replacement continuing to escalate, the upside potential of this sector is very compelling.
McIntosh identifies three key factors that underpin the growing interest in the water sector. “The first factor is a very significant demand over supply for water, coupled with a very large demand for investment in infrastructure. What we observe is the price of water going up generally around the world and as a result of that there is a lot of money in the sector being invested in infrastructure and new technology. Secondly, we believe that water stocks are being re-valued as the sector is discovered and thirdly, there is quite a lot of mergers and acquisition activity due to the globalization of the industry which creates good opportunities for investors to sell out of very successful companies.”
Australia is in the midst of a very prolonged drought, in particular within its rural areas, which according to Mr. McIntosh has generated enormous mainstream interest in the water industry and as a result there has been considerable investments made in the water sector, a trend that is expected to continue for the next decade.
“We are seeing significant investment activity in areas such as the creation of desalination plants for most of the large cities in Australia. A second area of very significant investment is in the upgrade of the irrigation networks in Australia which are very inefficient from a water evaporation point of view, and thirdly, a lot of the water networks are now being re-engineered to optimize the ability to recycle water with the introduction of pipelines and interconnectivity of all the different components of the water systems, something that has never been done until now,” describes McIntosh.

Driving Green in China Towards a New Generation of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Driving Green in China Towards a New Generation of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Toyota, ZAP and Honda Bring Environmentally Friendly Cars to China
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta B.C., August 10, 2007 - www.China-AsiaStocks.com, an investor and industry portal focused on the China-Asia sector, spotlights China as it plays a key role in the future success of electric and hybrid vehicles. As the number of cars is expected to grow significantly in China, eco-friendly choices are a must as China battles massive environmental and air quality concerns.
Capitalizing on the nation’s need for cleaner alternative transportation are several car manufacturers that are turning China’s challenges into lucrative business opportunities. Among the companies with their eyes on China as a key expansion market are Japan's Honda Motor Co., who recently announced they will start selling hybrid cars in China later this year; and Toyota, the first foreign car manufacturer to bring hybrid cars to market in China in late 2005 with its branded Prius model.
Electric car pioneer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) has also set its sights on this rapidly developing region, entering into a supply agreement to acquire $5.168 Million in lithium-polymer and nanotech batteries from China-based developer Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. A joint development office in Beijing has been announced to focus on R&D, manufacturing and marketing of these advanced batteries for use in various electric cars, utilizing innovative nanotechnology to improve overall performance and radically shorten the charging time.
After a comprehensive feasibility study, ZAP has found that the only place to manufacture a commercially viable electric car is in China.
“We've compared the bill of materials to manufacture an automobile in the Western Hemisphere versus China, and nothing comes close. Not only is this the business opportunity of a lifetime, it's an opportunity to do the right thing. China has the potential to make the dream of electric cars a reality for the world, and in turn they can benefit from this new technology. So, it's a win-win,” describes ZAP CEO Steve Schneider.

Global Investment in Renewable Energy
Global Investment in Renewable Energy to Hit $750bn by 2016
London, 6 August 2007 — Global investment in renewable energy could reach US$750 billion within the next 10 years, according to the latest Ernst & Young Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index, which tracks and scores investment in renewable energy.
Demand for renewable energy is growing at unprecedented rates, driven by competing government incentives. In 2006 investment reached US$100 billion and Jonathan Johns, Head of Renewable Energy at Ernst & Young, says he sees no signs of these levels cooling off despite the uncertainties in some global markets.
Johns says, "Competition for assets is intense and trade players are increasingly battling for supply chain presence. Further takeover speculation has fueled share price rises this year and while global trading markets have been tumbling, energy stocks appear to have escaped relatively unscathed for the time being."
He adds, "Given the industry's current growth rates of 20% to 30%, the drive from manufacturers for greater profitability, and new entrants coming into the market from the tiger economies, possibly even Japan, M&A activity is likely to filter down the supply chain adding a premium for key assets such as gearbox and bearing manufacturers."
The All Renewables Index, which scores investment for all forms of renewable energy, from solar to wind and biomass, shows that the US continues to be the global leader — a position it has comfortably held since last autumn.
Over the quarter the Index remained fairly static. The biggest change was the three point rise up the table for the UK from fifth to second position (which it shares with India and Spain) as investors received a boost from the UK Government's Energy White Paper, which put renewables firmly at the center of future energy policy.
Overall Johns says that the outlook for the sector is very positive, although critical mass is becoming imperative for those companies that are serious about being real players in the market. "The ability to acquire and commercialize new technologies, enter new markets and diversify across the industry requires a strong balance sheet, a track record of raising finance for new acquisitions and a dynamic approach — it's not for the faint hearted."

About the IndexThe Ernst & Young Country Attractiveness Indices provide scores for national renewable energy markets, renewable energy infrastructures and their suitability for individual technologies. The indices provide scores out of 100 and are updated on a regular basis.

Analysis Cites Curb in Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Potential for Improved Air Quality
news worth reading for green car followers
EPRI-NRDC Report Finds Environmental Benefits of Deploying PHEVs
Analysis Cites Curb in Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Potential for Improved Air Quality
PALO ALTO, Calif. – July 19, 2007 – The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) today released a comprehensive assessment that finds that widespread use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the United States could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and potential for improved ambient air quality.
The research measures the impact of increasing numbers of PHEVs between 2010 and 2050, including the nationwide environmental impact of potentially large fleets that would use electricity from the grid as their primary fuel source.
Among study’s key findings were:
Widespread adoption of PHEVs can reduce GHG emissions from vehicles by more than 450 million metric tons annually in 2050 -- equivalent to removing 82.5 million passenger cars from the road
There is an abundant supply of electricity for transportation; a 60 percent U.S. market share for PHEVs would use 7 percent to 8 percent of grid-supplied electricity in 2050
PHEVs can improve nationwide air quality and reduce petroleum consumption by 3 million to 4 million barrels per day in 2050
The analysis is the first to combine detailed models of the U.S. electric system and transportation sector with sophisticated atmospheric air quality models — accounting for the future evolution of both sectors in technological advances, electricity load growth and capacity expansion.
"This research accelerates our understanding of the interplay of emissions from various sources," said Steve Specker, EPRI President and Chief Executive Officer. "We now see that widespread use of PHEVs could expand the fuel options in our transportation sector and at the same time yield net benefits to our environment."
The EPRI-NRDC study represents the most comprehensive analysis of the potential reductions of global warming and other emissions from wide-scale introduction of PHEVs over time. The study addresses the impact that lower-emitting electricity generation can have for increasing these benefits.
"NRDC believes that a combination of more efficient vehicles, improved battery technology, and a lower-emitting electric power plant fleet can produce substantial reduction in global warming pollution from both the electric power and the transportation sectors, said David Hawkins, Director of NRDC’s Climate Center. "Our results show that PHEVs recharged from low- and non-emitting electricity sources can decrease the carbon footprint in the nation’s transportation sector."
Several benefits result from the use of grid electricity as a transportation fuel. PHEVs can reduce direct emissions at the vehicle tailpipe and indirect emissions at the fuel source when they recharge by electricity produced by a portfolio of efficient combustion, non-emitting or renewable generation. It is this linkage to a cleaner grid that could enable PHEVs to produce less GHG emissions than conventional or hybrid vehicles.
Using electricity produced from diverse domestic resources, PHEVs can reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil. The scale of the greenhouse gas benefit from PHEVs will depend on the efficiency of the vehicles, their range on a battery charge and the greenhouse gas emissions from the electric generation fleet.
"The EPRI-NRDC study demonstrates that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can contribute significantly to the national effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said John E.

"With public support, it is likely that someday millions of Americans will fill up their vehicles at the plug instead of the pump, saving money and protecting the environment."
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles combine operational aspects of both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and power assist hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). A PHEV, like a BEV, can be recharged from the electric grid, stores energy in an onboard battery and uses the energy while depleting the battery during daily driving.
Unlike a BEV, a PHEV can use its internal combustion engine for propulsion in highway driving or when the battery is depleted. Because of this versatility, a PHEV can serve as a direct replacement for a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle or HEV.
A joint EPRI-NRDC press conference will be held today at 10:30 a.m. in the Holeman Lounge at the National Press Club. Reporters may also dial into the conference by calling 1.800.926.9174. The entire PHEV environmental assessment will be posted online at www.epri-reports.org at 12 noon EDT, July 19, 2007.

EPRI-NRDC Report Finds Environmental Benefits of Deploying PHEVs
Analysis Cites Curb in Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Potential for Improved Air Quality
PALO ALTO, Calif. – July 19, 2007 – The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) today released a comprehensive assessment that finds that widespread use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in the United States could reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and potential for improved ambient air quality.
The research measures the impact of increasing numbers of PHEVs between 2010 and 2050, including the nationwide environmental impact of potentially large fleets that would use electricity from the grid as their primary fuel source.
Among study’s key findings were:
Widespread adoption of PHEVs can reduce GHG emissions from vehicles by more than 450 million metric tons annually in 2050 -- equivalent to removing 82.5 million passenger cars from the road
There is an abundant supply of electricity for transportation; a 60 percent U.S. market share for PHEVs would use 7 percent to 8 percent of grid-supplied electricity in 2050
PHEVs can improve nationwide air quality and reduce petroleum consumption by 3 million to 4 million barrels per day in 2050
The analysis is the first to combine detailed models of the U.S. electric system and transportation sector with sophisticated atmospheric air quality models — accounting for the future evolution of both sectors in technological advances, electricity load growth and capacity expansion.
"This research accelerates our understanding of the interplay of emissions from various sources," said Steve Specker, EPRI President and Chief Executive Officer. "We now see that widespread use of PHEVs could expand the fuel options in our transportation sector and at the same time yield net benefits to our environment."
The EPRI-NRDC study represents the most comprehensive analysis of the potential reductions of global warming and other emissions from wide-scale introduction of PHEVs over time. The study addresses the impact that lower-emitting electricity generation can have for increasing these benefits.
"NRDC believes that a combination of more efficient vehicles, improved battery technology, and a lower-emitting electric power plant fleet can produce substantial reduction in global warming pollution from both the electric power and the transportation sectors, said David Hawkins, Director of NRDC’s Climate Center. "Our results show that PHEVs recharged from low- and non-emitting electricity sources can decrease the carbon footprint in the nation’s transportation sector."
Several benefits result from the use of grid electricity as a transportation fuel. PHEVs can reduce direct emissions at the vehicle tailpipe and indirect emissions at the fuel source when they recharge by electricity produced by a portfolio of efficient combustion, non-emitting or renewable generation. It is this linkage to a cleaner grid that could enable PHEVs to produce less GHG emissions than conventional or hybrid vehicles.
Using electricity produced from diverse domestic resources, PHEVs can reduce U.S. dependence on imported oil. The scale of the greenhouse gas benefit from PHEVs will depend on the efficiency of the vehicles, their range on a battery charge and the greenhouse gas emissions from the electric generation fleet.
"The EPRI-NRDC study demonstrates that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can contribute significantly to the national effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said John E. Bryson, chairman and CEO of Edison International. "With public support, it is likely that someday millions of Americans will fill up their vehicles at the plug instead of the pump, saving money and protecting the environment."

Live Earth Promotes the Power to Change Through Music
Music is the medium and change is the message with Live Earth - simple changes we can all make in our daily lives that can help the environment and combat climate change.
As avid music fans of all ages watch musicians across 7 continents share the music and the message - we hear great music and learn how we can make gradual and dramatic change. From London to New York watching Genesis or the Police music fans heard how changing light bulbs to CFL energy efficient light bulbs can make major impact. If every household in America replaced 5 bulbs it would be the equivalent of taking 10 million cars off the road. Checking and regulating the pressure in our tires can give us 5-6 % more fuel efficiency.
We are told to "answer the call" with messages of using one less paper napkin, planting trees, turning the heat down and unplugging our chargers when not in use.
All of the simple changes suggested can cumulatively make a massive impact - and that’s the message- we can all do one thing to help the environment.
What a great event - great music and hopefully a lasting message inspired by Al Gore

According to Al Gore this evening - this 2 billion audience and online event is the largest entertainment event ever in all history!

How Yahoo! Google and MSN are helping to promote the Green Auto Shift
“Searching” for the Best in Green Cars
How Yahoo! Google and MSN are helping to promote the Green Auto Shift
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – July 2, 2007 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading global investor and industry portal for the renewable energy sector, reports on developments in green cars and how the top three search engines, Yahoo!, Google and MSN are helping to educate consumers and promote change and innovation in the automotive sector. As Tech sector leaders Bill Gates and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page play a leading role in investing in and deploying Greentech, they are also a driving force in changing the highways of the future.
As consumers browse the new MSN Autos Green Central they can utilize the green information center to read green car news, editorial reviews, fuel-saving ideas and see what autos are currently rated as the top 5 green vehicles. (http://editorial.autos.msn.com/specials/green/default.aspx)
Yahoo! Autos launched the Yahoo! Autos Green Center in November 2006 http://autos.yahoo.com/green_center/ and has built a strong online following in the green space as consumers visit the site to view the top 100 Green Cars and research developments in hybrids, biofuel, electric and green autos. In announcing the launch, Yahoo! Autos reported, “According to a Yahoo! survey, one in every two people is interested in learning more about alternative fuel vehicles, which signals clear consumer demand for a product like the Green Center."
Yahoo! Autos, in partnership with Environmental Defense, developed a Green Rating determining the environmental impact of vehicles on a scale of 1-100. The Green Rating is based on tailpipe pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel economy and the manufacturing process, giving consumers the overall environmental friendliness of the autos on the list.
“The Green Center on Yahoo! Autos provides our users with the most comprehensive expert and social media content covering alternative fuel vehicles,” said Michael Yang, Vice President and General Manager, Yahoo! Autos. He adds, “Whether you’re searching for the top green rated vehicles or you want to connect with an online community of like-minded vehicle shoppers, the Green Center is home to the most relevant information impacting consumers today.”
Google’s mantra “Do No Harm” has taken on new dimensions as Google proactively promotes green auto initiatives through Google.org, its philanthropic arm. Google.org recently announced its RechargeIT initiative (www.google.org/recharge/ ) dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and oil dependence by helping to fund and bring plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to consumer markets.
Dr. Larry Brilliant, Executive Director of Google.org tells us, "Google is committed to using its resources to help solve the global climate challenge. Google.org is hybrid philanthropy, bringing together the active engagement of the broader Google Corporation, as well as investments in for-profits, traditional grants, policy work, and public information. RechargeIT brings together all of these elements to help accelerate progress on plug-ins. By demonstrating new clean energy technologies and how they can be connected to the grid, we hope to spur demand and encourage car manufacturers to make these vehicles commercially available on a large scale on an urgent basis."Kirsten Olsen, program lead for the RechargeIT project stated, "At Google.org, we are committed to finding solutions that can dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions and offer alternatives to fossil fuels. We see plug-in hybrids and vehicle-to-grid applications as a significant step in greening the transportation sector and helping to mitigate global warming."
As consumers turn to the online information highways to research choices in alternative fuels, green car news, technology developments and current green auto ratings, the “Big Three” in search engines are enabling and empowering online users to make informed environmentally conscious decisions.
