What Does Investorideas.com Founder have in Common with T. Boone Pickens?

What Does Investorideas.com Founder have in Common with T. Boone Pickens?
-An interest in Investing in the Environment, Natural Gas, Water and a love for Wild Horses

Point Roberts, WA, DELTA, BC –June 25, 2009 – Investorideas.com founder and President, Dawn Van Zant
comments on the vision for her two companies, Investorideas.com and Wildheartranch.com and the common threads of investing in the environment and a love for wild horses and endangered animals.

“I run two separate companies, Investorideas.com and Wildheartranch.com, that on the surface have nothing in common from the outside, and it would be a surprise to anyone looking at each one separately that the same person created both.

Investorideas.com is a financial web site that provides research tools for investors, and we have created content by industry sector, with a primary focus on environment and water. We were one of the first investor websites covering renewable energy and water – and were doing so before it became ‘mainstream’ for retail investors. We have built relationships with some of the sectors leading experts and have held online investor conferences and interviewed some of the best known names in water and renewable energy. We have also covered natural gas stocks for years and have a comprehensive natural gas stocks directory.

Being in the financial markets for over 12 years, Investorideas.com has had its share of great successes and been confronted with financial failures like everyone else, but in its best years it has enabled me to help fund and support my creative and heart- felt projects.

WildHeartRanch.com is a publishing and Toy Company that is based on original content I created and wrote about endangered and wild animal conservation. Our main product lines are the No More Night Mares, a book and toy line about saving wild horses, I Sea Horses, a line of colorful seahorse toys about wild horses that transform into sea horses to save themselves, and Bradford and the Journey to the Desert of Lop, a story about a boy’s journey to the Gobi desert to save the last wild Bactrian camels, inspired by my friends son’s battle with cancer. All of the lines are written and created from the heart, are non- commercial and are designed to promote awareness and education for endangered species and respect for the environment.

Wild Heart has never been a financial success, but has had great accolades from consumers and reviewers that “get it “. We have had our ideas copied and stolen by others who ironically have had more commercial success than we have, but I venture to guess that they have never received the letters we do from the recipients of our product lines.

I still have faith and hope for the creative properties and still hold the vision of making movies and telling the stories in a bigger venue.

My business coach Sara Basloe, Master Elite Coach from Anthony Robbins Company asked me in one of my sessions to find a like- minded role model to follow. I kept thinking of women – and instantly thought of Oprah and other strong women, but really felt although I admired them, I was not like them.

Looking at T. Boone Pickens, I have found inspiration and common threads for all of my business and dreams.
He is a pure, straight talking entrepreneur who invests in and supports causes that I also believe in.

From his investment in Mesa Water, his push for Wind Energy, the formation of The Pickens Plan, his natural gas company Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ: CLNE ) and his support for wildlife conservation, I think I have found my role model. Boone also testified before the US Congress several years ago in support of legislation banning horse slaughter for human consumption. His wife Madeleine has established the Madeleine Pickens Wild Horse Sanctuary.

So in giving hope to business people like myself and others, I thank you Mr. Pickens. We have common threads, you just have more $$$ and 000’s attached to it. But the dream is just as big. “

No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom -Review by: Dana E. Blozis
Author Dawn Van Zant brings readers the magical tale of wild horses searching for freedom in The No More Night Mares, A Dream of Freedom. In this delightful children's book, Van Zant captivates readers with the legend of Eclipse, a mighty stallion determined to protect his herd from capture. With the help of rival stallion Golden Earth, Eclipse deftly escapes man's grasp, valiantly leading his mares Comet, Moonbeam, and Lucky Stars into the night sky.
This story is poignantly written by Van Zant who has long been a lover of animals and their stories. She lovingly portrays the struggle of wild horses to remain free in a land where capture appears imminent. Weaving a lesson of comfort and victory into the story, Van Zant's words are spirited and colourful, allowing the reader to become immersed in the story. At the same time, the author shares a bit of history of wild horses and their diminished presence in America today.
Magnificently illustrated, lifelong horse lover Kim McElroy offers more than an artist's rendering of the lively horses in Van Zant's story. Rather, she captures their spirits and their souls, helping young readers understand the horses' majestic beauty, their dreams and their fears. The careful portrayal of each horse contains rich colors and shadows, giving it life and character throughout the story.

GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC) Announces Advisory Board

GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: GWSC) Announces Advisory Board

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- GWS Technologies, Inc., (OTCBB: GWSC) an alternative energy company developing renewable energy solutions, announced today that it is establishing an advisory board to guide the development of its alternative energy projects.

“The addition of subject matter experts in the fields of real estate financing, alternative energy and manufacturing will enable us to take advantage of opportunities for solar development in the Southwest, including more direct participation in developing solar farms,” said GWS President Richard Reincke.

Christopher Cota of Hermosa Beach, California is the first appointment announced by the company. Mr. Cota brings specialized expertise in commercial real estate acquisition and development financing, as well as electronic component and electronic manufacturing services. “GWS will enable commercial property owners to increase the value of their assets by implementing improvements to their buildings and integrating ‘green’ power generation technologies, as well as assisting our clients to apply for the federal grants and tax incentives available for such projects. In addition to arranging capital equipment and real estate financing for our clients, GWS will also negotiate power purchase agreements on behalf of our clients,” Mr. Cota said.

News media have reported a “solar land rush” in the desert Southwest as Israeli and German solar firms, utilities and speculators try to lock up hundreds of thousands of acres of desert land for proposed solar power plants. California and surrounding states have mandated massive increases in renewable energy in the next few years, and experts predict that the solar power industry could be a $45 billion market by 2020.

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.

SoCal Connected is made possible through the generous support of The L.K. Whittier Foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life by supporting innovative endeavors in the fields of medicine, health, science and education; The Ahmanson Foundation serving the Los Angeles community since 1952; Jim and Anne Rothenberg; The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation; the Elizabeth Hofert-Dailey Trust; by US Bank and by UCLA. Additional funding for this episode is provided by Boeing.

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.

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.

About the Fremont Union High School District:

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area in the State of California, the Fremont Union High School District currently serves over 10,000 students in a 42 square mile area covering all of the City of Cupertino, most of Sunnyvale and portions of San Jose, Los Altos, Saratoga, and Santa Clara in Santa Clara County. People move to the community because of the outstanding elementary and high school districts. The five high schools — Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Monta Vista — continue to hold top ranking throughout the region, state, and nation.

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.
· Plan – Define strategies, optimize planning decisions, forecast reductions, identify objectives and metrics, and calculate timing and benefits for each initiative.
· Act – Manage the execution of environmental and energy programs, track results per initiative, and create an audit trail for any current or future regulatory requirements.
· Innovate – Implement the Hara methodology and leverage best practices for continuous improvements and business transformation.

About Hara

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.
