Brave new world fuelled by clean economical energy possible and imperative by 2050
Carlos G. VALLECILLO / WWF-Canon
February 8, 2011 (www.investorideas.com renewable energy /green newswire) - Gland, Switzerland: All of the world's energy needs could be provided cleanly, renewably and economically by 2050, according to a major new study by WWF.
Two years in preparation, The Energy Report breaks new ground with its global scope and its consideration of total energy needs including transport, and making adequate and safe energy available to all.
"If we continue to rely on fossil fuels, we face a future of increasing anxieties over energy costs, energy security and climate change impacts," said WWF Director General Jim Leape. "We are offering an alternative scenario - far more promising and entirely achievable.
"The Energy Report shows that in four decades we can have a world of vibrant economies and societies powered entirely by clean, cheap and renewable energy and with a vastly improved quality of life.
"The report is more than a scenario - it's a call for action. We can achieve a cleaner, renewable future, but we must start now."

Q&A with Josh Levine of MicroCap Investor; Winning Strategy for Stocks in Biotech, Cleantech, and Emerging Technologies

New York, NY, Point Roberts WA, February 7, 2011 � Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector investing including cleantech and biotech, interviews Josh Levine of the MicroCap Investor newsletter to gain insight on his research methodology.

Interview:
Q: Investorideas.com
Josh, your newsletter is unique in that you cover microcap stocks, which most investors associate with day trading -- but you research the space to look for long term wins. Can you tell investors why you look within the microcap space for those opportunities?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
I view microcap investing as a long-term process that entails holding stocks one, three, five years and longer. It is endlessly fascinating and rewarding to invest in small companies developing new technologies and innovations, but it does require lots of patience and discipline. Jumping in and out of stocks only creates short term capital gains -- a tax consequence we try to avoid.
Successful microcap investing, above all else, relies on fundamental analysis and not market timing or seasonal variations. As long as investors focus on the market's inefficiencies at this level -- and capitalize on them -- they'll do very well in the long run.
This point about inefficiencies is extremely important. The gaps between the market's perspective and the fundamental realities of a company are vastly wider in smaller stocks than larger ones -- and that's why I‘ve uncovered so many enticing opportunities.
Like the old song goes, "You say potato and I say po-tah-to, you say tomato and I say to-mah-to ..." Similarly, investors in the microsphere seldom agree on the inherent values of these fledgling companies and, more specifically, their potential earnings power several years out.
Of course, that's what makes for a market and that's why there are usually buyers and sellers at almost every price. As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. In microcap land, where there are thousands of penny stocks and solid fundamentals are at a premium, there is lots of trash to sift through. Fortunately, I've been around the block enough times to know which neighborhoods hold the real treasures.
Q: Investorideas.com
You have a focus on biotech, cleantech, and other emerging technologies. Can you tell us why those key areas?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
Small firms are able to concentrate on high-value-added functions where cutting-edge knowledge and technology are paramount. As a result, the microcaps that execute deliver amazingly high-growth margins and profits -- and fantastic returns to their investors.
By participating in transformational changes in the highest-growth industries, any microcap that successfully navigates the path from R&D to commercialization and beyond will emerge a big winner. There are no better sectors to find these companies than in biotechnology and medical technologies, cleantech and renewable energy, and advanced IT and networking technologies.
The life sciences is a particularly rich group to explore for exciting microcap opportunities. One reason is that big pharma companies are expected to lose as much as $140 billion in annual sales by 2016, as some of their key product patents expire. These drug giants are desperate for new innovations to revitalize their pipelines and small biotechs are an excellent source.
A surprisingly large number of the best microcap prospects reside in the biopharma and biotech sectors. I have always sought out and discovered bio companies with certain valuable attributes. Indeed, compared to the vast majority of sub-$100-million-market-value firms, the biotechs in our portfolio have seasoned management, big-league experienced boards, sane capital structures, enough cash to operate for more than 12 months, and solid partnerships with big pharmas.
In the energy world, for example, the shift to electric transportation will have far-reaching impact on nearly every industry and sector, from energy producers and suppliers to electrical equipment manufacturers and utilities to developers of the smart grid and numerous other advanced IT and energy technologies. Many small companies are building pieces of the emerging infrastructure and smart grids.
It's notable that one of the big boys in global electric infrastructure equipment, ABB, Inc. recently made a $10 million investment in a tiny company that supplies EV charging systems. Mergers and acquisitions will be happening more frequently among companies developing technologies for the smart grid. What's more, the anticipated IPOs this year for cleantech rising stars like Silver Spring Networks and BrightSource Energy will attract new investors.
Electric networks are the largest, most complex systems around, and it will take massive investments in technology over the next couple of decades to get them into shape to meet soaring demand for ever more efficient and ubiquitous electric power. As a consequence, a multitude of opportunities exist for small, innovative firms to capture lucrative market niches.
Q: Investorideas.com
You have just added a new stock to your watch list I understand. Can you tell us the criteria you have in place when you add a new stock and what you typically look for?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
First, I want to point out there are variations in my decision-making process between, for instance, a nanocap listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and an established microcap with a $250 million market cap that's profitable with an institutional following.
For the smallest microcaps, it's essential to spend time with management and look at everything with a magnifying glass. For more seasoned companies, there is already a track record as well as more information available, which makes the due diligence process less of a maze.
Obviously, fundamental stock analysis is central, but I've learned that investing in small advanced-tech firms is as much art as science. It comes down to certain basics that apply across the board, and they are:

• People - starting with the founders and top management, nothing counts more than the quality, experience, track record, and credibility of those running the company.
• Technology - technologies need to perform well but they also must represent a transformational shift or add significant value by improving current products or systems.
• Markets - technologies must address a sizable market, or it's simply not worth the effort. Also, it's essential to monitor market trends and being clued in to what industry leaders are doing. As senior analyst for ChangeWave Research, I am able to track the pace of change across many industries.
• Intangibles - this covers everything under the intellectual property umbrella, from patents to trade secrets, including everything inside the heads of employees. There's nothing tougher to quantify, but it's vital to get as much understanding as you can about these assets.
• Capital Structure - this reveals a whole lot about a company's history and the ability of executives to manage growth and build for the future. Problems in the capital structure often cripple microcaps, so investors need to be very critical in their analysis.

Q: Investorideas.com
I remember hearing old time investors talking about making their big wins in the market by finding the next big thing and holding on for years. In the past few years that mentality has been dismantled by what transpired in 2008. Do you still see that kind of opportunity in the market - and what kind of wins are you seeing in your portfolio?
A: Josh Levine, MicroCap Investor
Yes, the opportunities for returns of 200%, 500%, 1,000% and higher continue to be out there. But to earn the truly life-altering profits, you need to be fully invested in the best microcap stocks prior to any major bull cycle. A big portion of gains are often made in the early phase of a bull market for microcaps, so you've got to be positioned early. Otherwise, by the time the trend takes shape, it's usually too late to build the kind of low-cost positions that ultimately deliver those ten-bagger profits.
Today I believe we're in the early stages of a microcap bull market, but it's difficult to predict the exact timing. Still, ever since the end of 2008 - even before the general market bottomed - the stocks in the MicroCap Investor portfolio have been trending higher.
We ended 2010 on a high note by capturing a 138% profit by selling one-half of our position in a company that's leading the charge, so to speak, in energy solutions for transportation.
Another microcap in our portfolio, a developer of a new class of cancer therapeutics, is up 240% since I first recommended it to subscribers. When I added this stock to our portfolio it was within pennies of its six-year low. The value of this biotech, which has a long-standing partnership with a leading biopharma and a healthy cash hoard, lies in the ability of its drugs to be used in combination therapies and its excellent prospects for attracting licensees. While its gains so far have been good, this stock could soar five to ten times its current price depending on the success of clinical trials for its various drugs.
In general, our biotech positions are looking very, very good. In less than six months, we're up 43% with a stem cell developer which already has two revenue-generating businesses. And a number of others have been regularly hitting new milestones, which eventually will be translated into much higher market valuations.
While all of the stocks in our portfolio are positioned for tremendous upside ahead, the most consistent performers have been what I call the “Mature Microcaps.” For instance, within this group we've got a gain of 109% with a supplier of advanced equipment for large-scale solar projects, and we're up 76% with a designer of 3G/4G wireless chips.
Finally, one of my favorite microcaps today is a company which has developed and is selling advanced mobile services to multi-billion dollar markets worldwide in dire need of its cost-effective and efficient solutions. We've already got a 120% gain, but I believe this one has all the characteristics of rapidly becoming one of the great microcap winners of the decade.
The recent activity in our micros, nice as it's been, hardly measures up to the bonanzas of past microcap bull runs. A big reason is that this bull market lacks the full participation of the public which has remained enormously risk-adverse after the blow-ups, busts and downturns of the past decade.
Depending on the breadth and length of this upturn, individual investors will increasingly come back into the game, and eventually in large numbers. By then, however, the biggest profits will have been registered by those investors positioned far ahead of the herd.

NISSAN JOINS RENAULT'S ZERO-EMISSION MOBILITY PARTNERSHIP
WITH CASTILLA Y LEÓN
Castilla y León, Spain (Feb. 4, 2011) - Nissan International SA has joined Renault SA's partnership with the regional government of Castilla y León to advance zero-emission mobility in the region through the promotion of electric vehicles and an electric-vehicle charging network.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both parties, Nissan will deliver electric vehicles to Castilla y León through its dealer network, starting in 2011 with the 100% electric Nissan LEAF, the world's first affordable zero-emission vehicle for the global mass market. Nissan will also help define and validate EV charging devices in the region to ensure their compatibility with current and future regulations. The regional government plans to set up 900 public charging points by 2015. Of that total, 300 will be located on streets while 600 will be installed in underground parking areas. Castilla y León may supplement some with quick charging points depending upon market demand. By the end of 2011, 40 charging points are expected to have been installed above ground and 60 underground.
Castilla y León is also planning several financial and non-financial incentives to boost demand for electric vehicles, including tax credits and subsidies for home charging units.
"Castilla y León will be the first Spanish region to mass produce a 100% electric car when Renault, with whom we signed an agreement last year, starts producing here in late 2011. Our Regional Strategy for EVs includes measures to boost consumer demand and industrial activities linked to such cars. We are also investing in the necessary charging infrastructure to guarantee the success of this new mode of transportation. Together with Nissan and Renault, the two leading global automakers in electromobility, we now have a solid partnership for advancing the market," said Tomas Villanueva, Economic Vice President of the regional government of Castilla y León.

Solar Stocks News; Commentary and Review with J. Peter Lynch

Solar Stocks and Market Commentary with J Peter Lynch
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York � February 7, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research tools issues new commentary from contributor, J. Peter Lynch.
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch -
Read other articles, Exclusively for InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com: http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
Where is the Stock Market Going in 2011?
J Peter Lynch
Below is a summary and a table which gives you a current snap shot of the "technical picture" of each of our solar stocks. This will be updated at weekly at the end of each week and also when there are any significant changes. In addition there is a general market comment advising caution at this time.

Summary
A number of our stocks have seen their monthly momentum (longer term measure of a stocks strength) turn negative in the last week or two. The sector finally seemed be showing signs of life again after a terrible 2010, but the past week has had a number of our stocks drop below their 50 day MA � a short term negative for the stock.
At this time the strongest stocks are: JKS, LDK, SOL, SOLR, TSL and First Solar (FSLR). Two of our "solar seven" (JASO and SOLF) have had their rating reduced from Strong "S" to Neutral "N".
Market Comment - Caution Advised
At the current time the market has two potentially serious "red flags" warning investors to be cautious:

1. Investor Sentiment
   Investor sentiment is considered to be a contrary indicator and when too many investors or investment newsletters are Bullish � it is a time to be cautious.
   At the current time BOTH the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) poll of its members and the Investors Intelligence poll of investment newsletters are well above their danger zones of 50%.
   There is no guarantee of anything in the stock market, as we all know. But levels of sentiment so extremely bullish would indicate at least the potential for a market correction of 10% to 15%
2. Stocks are very Overextended
   On the technical side the market is very overbought above its 200 day moving average. In fact, the current overbought condition is more extreme than any important market top in the last 10 years � certainly another strong reason to be very cautious at this juncture in the market.

Table Keys:
50 Day Moving Average (MA) - this is a short term measure of a stock's current technical picture. If the current price is above the 50 day MA it is a positive indication and if it is below the 50 Day MA it is a negative indication.
Overall Trend - this is the overall longer term trend of the stock (Positive + or Negative - ). When solar stocks were badly underperforming the market almost all our solar stocks were in negative trends - the stocks that turn to a positive trend first are usually the strongest stocks relative to the group as a whole.
Weekly Momentum (Mom.) and Number of weeks positive or negative - this is a measure of the short term momentum of a stock. It is derived by comparing the one week moving average (MA) of the stock to the five week moving average. When the one week MA goes ABOVE the 5 week MA the weekly momentum turns positive, when it goes BELOW the 5 week MA the weekly momentum turns negative. Momentum, on average, stays positive or negative for between 6 and 8 weeks. So a stock that has been negative for 1 or 2 weeks will usually have at least a few more weeks of negative action to come. This would be useful, for example, if someone wanted to buy a particular stock and its momentum just shifted to negative, they will likely be able to buy the stock lower if they are patient and wait for a pullback in the price of the stock.
Relative Strength - this is a measure of the strength of an individual stock relative to a widely followed index - in this case the Standard and Poor's 500 (S&P 500). If the relative strength is "buy" this means that the individual stock is stronger relative to the index and vice versa.
Rating - this a my technical rating on each of the solar stocks after reviewing the technical indicators (momentum and trend) plus a number of additional indicators (monthly momentum, strength relative to the S&P 500 stock index, overbought/oversold status etc.) to arrive at a comparative rating as to how each stock stands technically. N = neutral, W = weak and S = strong.
Background Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below is a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis - this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of the company and will identify which stocks are stocks you may want to buy as a longer term investment. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy the stock.
Technical Analysis - this form of analysis will tell you "when" to buy a stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.

NISSAN JOINS RENAULT'S ZERO-EMISSION MOBILITY PARTNERSHIP
WITH CASTILLA Y LEÓN

Castilla y León, Spain (Feb. 4, 2011) - Nissan International SA has joined Renault SA's
partnership with the regional government of Castilla y León to advance zero-emission mobility in
the region through the promotion of electric vehicles and an electric-vehicle charging network.

Under a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both parties, Nissan will deliver electric
vehicles to Castilla y León through its dealer network, starting in 2011 with the 100% electric
Nissan LEAF, the world's first affordable zero-emission vehicle for the global mass market.
Nissan will also help define and validate EV charging devices in the region to ensure their
compatibility with current and future regulations. The regional government plans to set up
900 public charging points by 2015. Of that total, 300 will be located on streets while 600 will
be installed in underground parking areas. Castilla y León may supplement some with quick
charging points depending upon market demand. By the end of 2011, 40 charging points are
expected to have been installed above ground and 60 underground.

Castilla y León is also planning several financial and non-financial incentives to boost demand for
electric vehicles, including tax credits and subsidies for home charging units.

"Castilla y León will be the first Spanish region to mass produce a 100% electric car when
Renault, with whom we signed an agreement last year, starts producing here in late 2011. Our
Regional Strategy for EVs includes measures to boost consumer demand and industrial activities
linked to such cars. We are also investing in the necessary charging infrastructure to guarantee
the success of this new mode of transportation. Together with Nissan and Renault, the two
leading global automakers in electromobility, we now have a solid partnership for advancing the
market," said Tomas Villanueva, Economic Vice President of the regional government of Castilla
y León.

Ener1 (Nasdaq:HEV ) Showcased for Innovation and Job Growth

Vice President Joe Biden Visits Company's Battery Pack Assembly Plant

Announces Large-Scale Government Program to Spur Electric Vehicle Deployment

GREENFIELD, Ind., Jan. 26, 2011  -- Ener1, Inc. (Nasdaq:HEV ) provided a backdrop today for remarks by Vice President Joe Biden on the administration's continued commitment to asserting U.S. leadership in the advanced vehicle industry, a centerpiece of White House economic and environmental policy.

"As the president said last night, by 2015 we will have one million electric vehicles on the road," Biden said, referring to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address last night.  "Once America has set a goal as a nation, we have never, never not achieved it," the vice president told Ener1's 350 Indiana employees and invited guests during a presentation at the company's Mt. Comfort plant. 

The vice president visited Ener1, a leading manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, to witness the company's progress since receiving a $118.5 million federal stimulus grant in 2009.  Biden commended Ener1 for its success in leveraging federal funds to attract private capital, in creating hundreds of new jobs for automotive industry workers and contributing to U.S. innovation in electric-drive technology.

The vice president also seized the occasion to announce a new federal program to accelerate the wide-scale adoption of electric vehicles.  Under the proposed initiative included in the president's upcoming budget, 30 deployment communities, cities and towns across America, would be selected on a competitive basis for federal grants to support financial incentives for car purchases and charging infrastructure development, among other measures.  The president is also asking for an almost 90-percent funding increase to nearly $590 million for advanced vehicle technologies.

Biden was introduced by Ener1 battery assembly line worker Wendy Howard, supported in the audience by her three sons and father.  Before joining Ener1, Howard was downsized out of a job assembling pumps for power steering systems at a failing automotive plant.  "Now I make these hi-tech batteries for electric cars that don't disturb the environment and don't drink up oil that we don't have."

Ener1, a principal investor in the dedicated electric vehicle manufacturer THINK™, had several cars on display at the event and demonstrated a two-seat urban commuter model for the vice president.  The THINK City vehicle, which went on sale in the U.S. in December, is manufactured in the city of Elkhart, Ind.  President Obama selected Elkhart in 2009 to announce $2.4 billion in electric-drive grants, the single-largest investment in advanced battery manufacturing in American history. 

"The honor of being paid a visit by the vice president of the United States at our plant, and of being the site of an announcement of this magnitude for the nascent electric drive industry, is truly a reward for hard work," commented Ener1 Chairman and CEO Charles Gassenheimer.  "The employees of our company certainly all deserve it."

About Ener1, Inc. (Nasdaq:HEV )

Ener1, Inc. is a publicly traded (Nasdaq:HEV ) energy technology company that develops compact, lithium-ion-powered battery solutions for the transportation, utility grid storage and consumer markets.  Headquartered in New York City, the company has more than 700 employees with manufacturing locations in the United States and Korea.  Ener1 also develops commercial fuel cell products, nanotechnology-based materials and manufacturing processes.  In collaboration with strategic partner and electric vehicle manufacturer THINK, Ener1 also manufactures electric vehicle drive train products.
