Wind and Energy Stocks; Interview With The President, CEO And Chairman: Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) - Ronald W. Pickett

67 WALL STREET, New York - May 2, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Building Materials, Construction & Housing Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This Special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs, Equity Analysts and Money Managers. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.

Topics covered: Infrastructure Build in Emerging Markets - New versus Resale Homes - Strong End Markets for Building Products
Companies include: MYR Group (MYRG); Willbros Group (WG); AECOM (ACM); AT&T (T); Alstom (ALO.PA); Anixter (AXE); and many more.
In the following brief excerpt from the Building And Construction Report, expert analysts discuss the outlook for the sector and for investors.
Ronald W. Pickett is the President, CEO and Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. He brings more than 40 years of construction, development and innovative technology skills and expertise to the team. Mr. Pickett has founded numerous companies from startup, and he nurtured three from inception through the public ownership process. All three public companies involved new, innovative, first-to-market global technology solutions. Mr. Pickett also has a keen understanding of government, legislative and permitting practices.
TWST: Please start by giving us a history of Clean Wind Energy.
Mr. Pickett: About a year and a half ago, a group of engineers got together and began evaluating and updating a study that was done over 20 years ago at the Technion in Israel. The idea was based on building a downdraft tower which would create wind to make electricity. The study identified places in the world where this downdraft tower would work, but it was virtually impossible to build the tower because the construction techniques necessary to actually construct the towers didn't exist. So this group of structural and construction engineers who were looking at the feasibility of actually building the tower contacted me a little over a year ago. I investigated the towers with my structural people and engineers, and we determined that the tower could be built. By the way, nobody had ever even questioned the science of creating a downdraft tower. The main issue became how to actually find the technique to build it.
TWST: Please tell us more about the downdraft tower. Would you please expand on what exactly the tower does and why it is so beneficial?
Mr. Pickett: The tower is very large and reaches up into the sky. It has to be properly located in a hot, dry, arid area to work efficiently. When we explain the tower, we emphasize both hot and dry. For example, the state of Florida, which is hot but has a lot of humidity, would not be an adequate hosting place for it. But the Southwestern United States - like Arizona and California - Northern Mexico, as well as the Middle East, North Africa, parts of Australia, parts of South America, are excellent hosts for the tower. So again, the optimal places of the world for the tower fit the criteria of both hot and dry. The tower reaches up into the sky and accesses that hot, dry air as it drifts down towards the ground. Across the top of the tower a mist of water is sprayed. The hot, dry air must absorb the water. It cannot refuse the water because it is so dry. As soon as it absorbs the water, it becomes heavy and it sinks, creating the downdraft. Our fuel is hot, dry air and water. The downdraft occurs, forcing that now heavier, wetter air to the bottom of the tower where it is channeled into wind tunnels. In the tunnels, turbines spin and power generators make electricity.
TWST: Why do you refer to your solution as dual renewable energy?
Mr. Pickett: The size of the tower creates a tremendous sail area, and prevailing winds are pressing against the tower all day long and all night. Sometimes those winds are 10 miles an hour, and sometimes they may be 50 miles an hour. In order to stabilize the tower, we designed large fins that structurally flow all the way to the ground. Those fins capture the prevailing wind and channel it down the side of the tower into separate wind tunnels, which drive turbines and make electricity as well. The fins take wind pressure load off the tower, so they make the tower much more structurally sound, and at the same time capture the renewable energy. That means we're making dual renewable energy from the exterior wind, as well as the downdraft wind created inside the tower.
TWST: You talked a little bit about the technology and about the original study that produced the tower. Was that study part of an attempt to find new energy solutions, or did it come about for some other reason?
Mr. Pickett: Like now, 20 years ago people were looking at new energy solutions and ways to try to avoid or lessen their dependence on foreign oil. Developed countries certainly are very interested in curbing oil dependency if they don't have sufficient oil. Even oil-producing economies should be interested in conserving reserves, thus their quest to find a way to produce alternative power. The solution is evident today, and it works. The tower solution we have is greatly based on the technique to build it. There is really no new technology. About 10 years ago a technique was developed to build large structures using self-erecting cranes.
That technique is now perfected and is being successfully deployed to build very tall buildings in the Middle East and other places right now. In December of last year, a 3,000-foot skyscraper opened up in Dubai, the Burj tower, and the technique to build these large, tall structures are cranes that actually ride up with the building during construction. The cranes are not attached to the ground. Elevators lift the materials up to the crane, so the cranes can pick materials off the elevator and put it in place. After construction, helicopters take the cranes down. So the crane can actually build the tower section by section, lifting itself up as it goes crawling onto the section just built. Without this crane technique the tower was not buildable until today.

Cleantech News; US VC Investment in Cleantech Reaches $1.14 Billion in Q1 2011, a 54% Increase From Q1 2010

Cleantech News; US VC Investment in Cleantech Reaches $1.14 Billion in Q1 2011, a 54% Increase From Q1 2010

Solar continues to dominate; later stage rounds earn 67% of financing

BOSTON, May 2, 2011 /( Investorideas.com renewable energy green newswire ) -- US venture capital (VC) investment in cleantech companies increased by 54% to $1.14 billion in Q1 2011 from $743.3 million in Q1 2010, despite a 13% decrease in deals year on year from 79 to 69, according to an Ernst & Young LLP analysis based on data from Dow Jones VentureSource. The top 10 deals in Q1 2011 totaled $683.1 million, 60% of the total raised for the quarter and two deals accounted for 18% of the total dollars raised.
"The US cleantech market experienced continuing momentum –- both from a venture capital perspective and among the larger investment community. The second generation of solar companies and larger, later stage rounds dominated VC investor interest in Q1," said Jay Spencer, Ernst & Young LLP's Americas Cleantech Director.

Energy/Electricity Generation segment leads with solar

The Energy / Electricity Generation segment, led by strong solar investments, raised $450.3 million through 16 deals in Q1 2011. The solar sub-segment accounted for 39% of the total dollars raised for the quarter with $362.7 million, a 162% gain from Q1 2010. Specifically, MiaSole, a Northern California manufacturer of copper indium gallium selenide thin-film photovoltaic solar panels, was the largest deal of the quarter. The company raised $106 million in a later-stage round of financing, 24% of total dollars in Q1 2011. Alta Devices, a Northern California company that focuses on improving the production economics of high efficiency solar PV applications, had the fourth largest deal of the quarter with $72 million third round financing.

Large investments also bolstered the Energy Storage segment to be the second largest in terms of dollars in Q1 2011. The segment is up 671% year on year after raising $262.4 million through 14 deals.. Battery companies drew in $121 million of this investment compared to $8 million in Q1 2010, a 1405% increase, while Fuel cell companies attracted $106 million in Q1 2011, a 308% increase year on year. Two deals accounted for 64% of the dollars raised in the Energy Storage segment overall, including Bloom Energy, a California provider of fuel cell-based power generators, which raised $100 million.

In Q1 2011, the Industry Focused Products and Services segment ranked third with respect to total amount raised. It attracted $161.86 million, a 27% decrease from the $221 million raised in Q1 10. The largest deal in this segment was completed by Myriant Technologies, a Massachusetts developer of biocatalyst technologies for conversion of renewable feedstocks that raised $60 million.

The Alternative fuels segment, led by biofuel companies, raised $160 million, 14% of the total dollars raised in Q1 2011. Finally, the Energy Efficiency sector raised $95 million in Q1 2011, down 49% from the $187 million raised in Q1 2010.

VCs favor later-stage companies
Companies generating revenue raised $596.4 million, 52% of the total dollars invested in Q1 2011, up from just 34% in the same period last year. Later stage rounds accounted for 28 deals and $721.6 million, representing 67% of the total quarterly investment compared to 57% in Q1 2010. However, first round investment also increased by 77% to $146.1 million compared to $82.7 million in Q1 2010.
Regional highlights
In Q1 2011, California accounted for 56% of the total dollars funded with $637.2 million, up 41% year on year. Northern California attracted 79% of dollars raised throughout California. This quarter was also strong for investment in the Southeast and the New England regions. Companies in the Southeast garnered $150.2 million, a 6159% from Q1 2010, and New England area companies attracted $174.23 million, a 193% increase compared to Q1 2010.
Corporate engagement
Ernst & Young's recent Global corporate cleantech adoption survey illustrated the evolution of corporate investments from cost cutting and operational efficiency mechanisms to revenue generation initiatives. This trend was evident in US corporate cleantech investment in early in 2011. For example, GE, ConocoPhilips, and NRG formed Energy Technology Ventures, a joint venture that will invest $300 million in early-stage energy technology companies over four years. GE also spent $520 million to acquire energy efficient equipment provider Lineage Power. Additionally, Schneider Electric acquired a US-based energy procurement and sustainability services company Summit Energy Services Inc. for $268 million.


The focus on solar was also reflected in corporate investment in Q1 2011. New corporate engagements in this segment included California-based Innovalight and Taiwan-based Motech's partnership to develop solar cells using silicon ink. Additionally, Citigroup and SolarCity set up a $40 million fund for solar power projects.


Capital market activity

Two cleantech IPOs were filed in early 2011, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance: California-based biofuel producer Solazyme Inc. filed its $100 million IPO in March 2011 and Gevo Inc., Colorado-based biofuels producer, raised US$107 million through its February 2011 IPO.

In terms of other capital market activity, 15 US M&A cleantech deals with a value of $206 million were completed in Q1 2011, according to IHS Herold. The largest deal by LDK Solar Co., Ltd. was the acquisition of a 70% stake in Solar Power, Inc. for $ 29 million. Additionally, US Geothermal secured $ 96.8 million in debt financing and $39.2 million in equity financing for the development of the 35MW Neal Hot Springs Project.

News

U.S. wind industry reports enduring growth in first quarter of 2011
States continue to lead nation with clear, strong policies

Washington, D.C., April 28, 2011—America's wind power industry installed 1,100 MW of new capacity in
the first quarter of 2011 alone and entered the second quarter with another 5,600 MW under construction,
the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) reported today. The under-construction figure is nearly
twice the megawatts that the industry reported at this time in both 2009 and 2010; moreover, two-thirds of
those megawatts are already locked in under long-term power purchase agreements with electric utilities,
indicating an enduring industry that has proven both nimble and strong through a range of economic and
policy conditions. The total wind fleet now stands at 41,400 MW—producing enough clean energy to
supply 10 million American homes.
"American wind energy is ramping up, and these first-quarter figures indicate an industry poised for a
renaissance. Refined technologies, affordable prices, and continued demand for clean, homegrown
energy—these are all reasons why wind has consistently posted strong growth numbers, adding 35% of
all new generating capacity since 2007," said Denise Bode, AWEA CEO. "In an economy in which gas

prices have hit $4 a gallon and are still on the rise, America must implement long-term energy policies
centered on homegrown sources. And wind delivers. By powering our electric cars using wind, Americans
can pay the equivalent of 70 cents a gallon at the pump."

The first quarter's 1,100 MW of new capacity came online in 12 different states, with some seeing double-
digit growth. U.S. states with the most capacity additions so far include: Minnesota (293 MW), Illinois (240
MW), Washington (151 MW), Idaho (119 MW), and Nebraska (81 MW).

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase Technologies (OTC.BB:XDSL) Developing Battery for G-Force Activated Application

LITTLE FALLS, NJ - April 21, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL) today announced that it is engaged in the preliminary discussions with a major prime contractor of military applications to potentially adapt its battery technology and reserve battery �know-how" to serve as a G-force activated energy source to provide power in new weapons systems. The Company has successfully tested with the U.S. Army in the past, a single-cell reserve battery, which was activated by a projectile launch event, fired out of a tank, at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland, in 2008. The Company has since expanded its efforts to a multi-cell capability for non-G-force enabled applications such as memory backup and is improving this advanced design for critical G-force enabled munitions systems. Additionally, mPhase is seeking to expand its initial efforts with Picatinny Arsenal in developing applications of its Smart NanoBattery to provide power for smart munitions. The Company recently signed a 3 year CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny, New Jersey.

"We believe we are making significant strides in establishing key partnerships for a broad development effort of batteries capable of being activated by G-force acceleration. Reliable and safe energy sources for providing power are essential to many new weapons systems, especially small munitions systems," said Ron Durando, president and CEO of mPhase Technologies. "We are looking forward to establishing a significant collaboration effort with other prime military contractors."
Prior testing with Picatinny demonstrated extreme resiliency to shock and acceleration of the SmartBattery prototypes, surviving tests that subjected them to high acceleration of over 30,000 G-forces. (One G is equal to the pull of gravity at sea level). The tests, which involved both simulations out of an air-gun and live testing of firing projectiles out of a tank, indicated that the underlying nanostructure of the prototype power cell could withstand extreme shock if used in military applications.
About mPhase Technologies, Inc.
mPhase Technologies is introducing a revolutionary Smart Surface technology enabled by breakthroughs in nanotechnology, MEMS processing and microfluidics. Our Smart Surface technology has potential applications within drug delivery systems, lab on a chip analytic systems, self cleaning systems, liquid and chemical sensor systems, and filtration systems. mPhase has pioneered its first Smart Surface enabled product, the mPhase Smart NanoBattery.
In addition to the Smart Surface technology, mPhase recently introduced its first product, the mPower Emergency Illuminator, an award-winning product designed by Porsche Design Studio. http://www.mpowertech.com

Cleantech News : EARTH DAY NETWORK AND FACEBOOK COLLABORATE IN A BILLION ACTS OF GREEN® CAMPAIGN

Cleantech News : EARTH DAY NETWORK AND FACEBOOK COLLABORATE IN A BILLION ACTS OF GREEN® CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, DC –  Investorideas.com green/renewable energy Newswire - (Washington, D.C. April 19, 2011) Earth Day Network today announced a collaboration with Facebook to engage people worldwide in environmental action through the Billion Acts of Green® campaign. The two organizations worked together to create a new application or “app” that is inspiring people around the world to take actions to reduce their impact on the environment.


“Earth Day Network’s collaboration with Facebook on the app takes advantage of two global platforms: Facebook’s social network and Earth Day, the largest platform for environmental action,” said Kathleen Rogers, President and CEO of Earth Day Network (EDN). “This effort is founded on the shared belief that to achieve real progress on today’s immense environmental challenges we must act together. Facebook defines togetherness in the digital age, and has the unique ability to take a positive message and propel it across cultural, national, and religious divides. That’s what Earth Day is all about too.”
"Facebook's partnership with Earth Day Network to create and promote the Billion Acts of Green app is an exciting way to harness the Facebook platform's power and reach on behalf of the environment," said Jonathan Heiliger, V.P. of Technical Operations at Facebook. "Whether pledging to save energy, use less water, use alternative transportation, or take other steps, people can use Facebook to mark Earth Day with meaningful action – and can encourage their friends to do the same. This will help Earth Day Network achieve its 'Billion Acts of Green' goal."


The app can be found at http://apps.facebook.com/billionactsofgreen.


A Billion Acts of Green® is a global campaign that drives voluntary efforts to improve our environment. It encourages individuals and organizations to undertake acts of environmental service and advocacy, and to share them with the world. These actions can be immediate changes like switching to energy efficient light bulbs, or large-scale projects that achieve lasting change, such as efforts to green our cities and our schools. All commitments to A Billion Acts of Green share the common thread of people working together to build a greener future.


The Facebook application is part of Earth Day Network’s campaign to reach A Billion Acts of Green in advance of the U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janei ro, Brazil in June 2012, as tangible evidence that people all over the world are working to protect the Earth.



About Earth Day Network


Earth Day Network's mission is to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement, driving action year-round. Earth Day Network does this through advocacy, education, public policy, and consumer campaigns.
Earth Day Network mobilizes over one billion people in 192 countries with the help of our 25,000 partners. Please share your “Act of Green” to help EDN achieve its goal of “A Billion Acts of Green” by the 2012 U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development (aka “Rio+20)) http://www.earthday.org/.

About Facebook http://www.facebook.com/

Founded in February 2004, Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.
