Renewable Energy sector gets another boost from Former President Clinton

Follow the money in renewable energy- $4 billion allocated to future of green energy this week

Following on the heels of Richard Branson's pledge of $3 billion to address global warming and invest in renewable and clean technology , former President Clinton announced the launch of a Green Fund with a $1 billion dedicated to the same cause.


The funds investment goal , like Bransons, is to reduce dependence on fossil fuels while also creating jobs, decreasing pollution and reduce global warming

3 Billion Dollar Pledge towards addressing global warming problems

In a major step towards the world in general acknowledging there is in fact a global warming problme and its not a hoax- adventurous British billionaire Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin group has stated he will donate $3 billion US over 10 years to address global warming . Now that's putting your money behind your convictions!

He has pledged the profits from his transportation and airline businesses, to be invested in renewable and sustainable energy sources to address the world's addiction to oil and coal.

GreenTechInvestor.com Virtual Green Investor Challenge Closes - Winner Drives Away with a ZAP® Electric Car

GreenTechInvestor.com Virtual Green Investor Challenge Closes - Winner Drives Away with a ZAP® Electric Car
Avid Alternative Energy Fan Leads the Pack of Investors Going for the Green
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta, B.C. - August 29, 2006 - Green technology investor portals www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com™ and www.GreenTechInvestor.com announce the closing of the Ultimate GreenTechInvestor.com Virtual Green Investor Challenge and the winner of the ZAP® Electric car. The contest was designed to give investors and industry an opportunity to become educated in green technology. The ultimate greentech investor winner, Russ Michaud, was a long term follower of alternative energy stocks and a shareholder in sponsoring company ZAP® www.zapworld.com (NYSE Arca:ZP). He bet his virtual money and holdings on the stock he knew so well.
The GreenTechInvestor.com challenge was designed to give investors and industry an opportunity to become educated in green technology and learn about the current list of public plays in the sector. “I was already interested in alternative energy due to my concerns for our environment. What I learned specifically from the Green Energy Stock Challenge contest was that there are a lot more companies in this field than I initially thought. I was amazed at all of the smaller companies working on alternative energy,” describes contest winner Russ Michaud.
The contest started June 19th and closed on August 18, 2006. The contest started investors with $200,000 in virtual dollars to invest in green companies of choice from a list provided by RenewableEnergyStocks.com™. The stock list included a cross section of public companies trading on OTC, AMEX, NASDAQ, NYSE as well as TSX.
Revealing his contest tactics Mr. Michaud explains, “My winning strategy keyed on playing the smaller 'penny stocks' and I read up on and learned a lot about these companies after seeing them in stock list provided. There are a lot of approaches to alternative energy and I think I traded in most of them during the game: geothermal, hydro power, wind, solar, biodiesel and of course the alternative fuel cars being developed by ZAP. I not only traded these virtually in the contest, but have also traded some quite profitably in my real portfolio after learning about them and getting a feel for how they moved.”
Sponsors and prizes included a ZAP® www.zapworld.com (NYSE Arca:ZP) Electric Car and Electric Scooter, plus prizes from MicrocapTrade www.MicrocapTrade.com, Energy Hedge Fund Center LLC www.energyhedgefunds.com and eco friendly children's products, Wild Heart Ranch, Inc. www.WildHeartRanch.com

Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc., Moving Forward with Plans for Second 50 million Gallon Ethanol Plant Following Recent Funding and Grants

Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc., Moving Forward with Plans for Second 50 million Gallon Ethanol Plant Following Recent Funding and Grants
RenewableEnergyStocks.com Announces New Featured “Green” Company and its Expansion Plans for Producing Environmentally Beneficial Alternative Fuel

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - August 24, 2006 - Green technology investor portals www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com and www.EnvironmentStocks.com announce the addition of a new featured ethanol company, Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc., (NASDAQ: GPRE). The Company is currently building a 50 million gallon nameplate ethanol facility in Shenandoah, Iowa, expected to be operational in mid 2007. Following the recent $47 million secondary offering, the Company is moving forward with a second 50-million gallon facility to be built near Superior, Iowa, with start up expected late 2007. With the completion of both plants, Green Plains will have approximately 110-million gallons of ethanol production capacity (assuming production of 10% over nameplate capacity) by the end of 2007.

Green Plains Renewable Energy also recently announced that the Iowa Department of Economic Development awarded tax incentives and $400,000 in grants and zero interest loans to assist in the development of the second ethanol plant to be built near Superior, Iowa.

According to http://www.ethanol.org/ , “This year, the U.S. ethanol industry will grow to provide more than 5 billion gallons of clean burning, renewable fuel.” Industry growth has been sparked in part by federal and state policies promoting cleaner air and federal and state tax and production incentives. Green Plains has aggressive plans to expand the production capacity at both plants and also intends to build additional plants at other locations as they work to help meet the rising demands for alternative fuels.

GPRE’s President and CEO Barry Ellsworth believes that the high price of oil and increased demand for petroleum on a world-wide basis will continue to drive the demand for ethanol in the future. He has also stated that he believes there is tremendous value in the shares of GPRE when compared to the valuations being given to other companies in the ethanol space. “With only about 6 million shares currently issued and outstanding, once the Company’s first two plants are completed and operational, each share of GPRE’s common stock will represent approximately 18.3 gallons of 2008 projected ethanol production, which the Company believes reflects significant comparative value,” explains Mr. Ellsworth.

The Company’s dry-grind ethanol facilities will incorporate the latest process control systems and biotechnology to maximize production yields and quality. The facility is designed to result in reduced plant emissions using efficient and environmentally friendly technology.

Power blackouts have impact on energy prices - are renewable energy stocks next?

With the recent power blackout in New York and California urging people to conserve energy to avoid blackouts, natural gas prices have spiked. The continued heat waves are putting pressure on the grid systems and traditional energy sources - natural gas and oil and gas are rising. Looking back to 2003 with the major power grid failure, interest in renewable energy stocks was immediate. That has not happened in a significant way yet, as the power outages so far have been isolated to specific areas.

On August 14th 2003 50 million Americans were effected with the largest blackout in American history. The blackout incited an interest in renewable energy stocks that was not sustained long term, but was the beginning of what we saw at our site, of the sector having a more mainstream following by retail investors. Shares of renewable energy public companies posted some of the biggest gains on the NASDAQ the Friday following the blackout.

With renewable energy stocks gaining new , broader interest this year and reaching highs in April and May and then softening - the question is - will the power blackouts fuel renewed life into the renewable energy sector?

China's Attempt to Balance the Environment and a Rapidly Growing Economy Drives Regulation, Innovation and Investment in Renewable Energy, Water Indus

China's Attempt to Balance the Environment and a Rapidly Growing Economy Drives Regulation, Innovation and Investment in Renewable Energy, Water Industry and Healthcare

July 2006, China-AsiaStocks.com

With China's growth at double digit rates into the first half of the year, the environmental concerns and pollution problems are escalating as quickly as the economy, with an estimated 76 reported pollution incidents in the past 8 months. The impact of rapid industrialization has created massive environmental problems in the water air and soil, creating disease and multiple health problems for people living in the affected areas. China is working to create and restore balance and harmony in their environment through pending law, regulation, and investment in new technology. Public companies Vitasti, Inc. (OTCBB: VITS), CECO Environmental Corp (NASDAQ:CECE), Hendrx Corp (OTCBB: HDRX) and Bridgetech Holdings International, Inc. (OTC.PK: BGTH); in renewable energy, air and water treatment and healthcare discuss

how the serious problem of pollution has created business opportunities for their respective sectors.

The All China Environment Federation (ACEF) was launched in Beijing in 2005, receiving backing from high-level government officials as part of a movement to show that China is becoming very serious about the environmental damage and repercussions of the rapid economic growth. It’s receiving global support as evidenced by The World Bank loan of $668 million to the People's Republic of China to support projects to address environmental problems and developing transport infrastructure. China may be positioning to change its global image from environmental disasters to an environmental leader, as it was recently recognized as the world leading investor in renewable energy. In order to pave the road to change, China is changing policy and legal framework to incite investment and innovation in technology.



Renewable Energy; Regulation and Investment Driving the Sector

China has set a target of twenty percent of its power to come from renewable sources by 2020. That kind of aggressive strategy sets the stage for renewable energy companies to participate in the anticipated growth in wind, solar and energy efficient technologies.

Wind energy technology is on the rise and China's largest wind electric power generator manufacturer, Goldwind Science and Technology Co. Ltd., is currently pursuing a U.S. IPO, following on the tracks of several renewable IPO’s. The company plans to go public to finance its anticipated substantial growth as China demands green energy solutions as evidenced by its 6 billion U.S. investment in renewable energy in 2005.

Vitasti, Inc.’s (OTCBB: VITS)Director , Mr. deDelley, a wind farm developer targeting China commented “ The stage is set to provide environmentally friendly power to fulfill the needs of a electrically thirsty nation and stave the pollution associated with the massive developments China is experiencing. Our Company, Vitasti/Welwind ,has been moving projects ahead to develop 1000 megawatts of wind powered generation along the coast of the south China sea. All levels of government and industry are accepting the wind technology with great enthusiasm and willingness, making our work easier. “

Mr. deDelley went on to state” With the political and industry relationships Welwind has forged within China we are looking at continued support to advance the projects and to ensure successful wind farms, creation of rural employment, mitigation of pollution, and provide a greatly needed commodity : wind powered electricity.”

Chinese officials have announced plans for the country's first energy "basic law" passed by the legislature in two years with a goal of reducing national energy consumption by 20 percent from 2006 to 2010 and creating an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly society. The law would encourage domestic energy exploration and international energy cooperation, optimize energy reserves and emergency response systems, scaling and development of renewable and new energies and enhance energy efficiency.

The China Environment Fund, http://www.cefund.com/, a leading VC fund in sustainable investment in China is investing in energy efficiency, solar and bio-diesel.

China’s Water and Air Pollution and Solutions

Recent news in China including the toxic spill into the Desha River have made China's officials and global leaders take action into addressing the urgent environmental and water issues. It’s currently estimated that 300 million people, representing one-quarter the population, drink unsafe, water. Additionally, only one third of the 3.7 billion tons of wastewater discharged is treated.

China is taking steps to create law and regulation to address critical water issues including recently ratifying an international treaty to preserve the marine environment and prevent pollution on the high seas.

Global funding to address water problems has been approved by the World Bank. The World Bank's Board of Executive Directors recently announced loans of $668 million to the People's Republic of China in support of four projects to address environmental problems including water treatment and waste treatment.

Hendrx Corp (OTCBB: HDRX), a manufacturer of water purification technology with operations in China describes, “Senior management of our company is evaluating our current capabilities and seeking complimentary engineering, service and reporting capabilities to remedy and prevent future occurrences that will harm the environment. Our objective is to use computer age technology and instant monitoring of contributing factors that may predict future weaknesses and thereby enabling operating management to implement the appropriate safety measures.”

According to a Hendrx spokesperson, “In as much as the regulatory agencies have not yet begun to create the inquiries, we expect that we will be able and ready to respond to such inquires as they are forthcoming. Realistically, we don’t expect any one entity to be selected to find a solution to the different challenges; rather we expect to be part of a team that will over time solve the total problem.”

“Hendrx is in a unique position to be optimistic about our chances to be part of the “problem- solving team” because we already have more than 200 employees in the Fujian province of China. Our technical know how and our reputation is well respected on both sides of the Pacific.”

In terms of air pollution, according to a 2006 report by the World Watch Institute, China is home to 16 of the 20 cities with the most polluted air in the world.

According to Phillip DeZwirek, Chairman & CEO of CECO Environmental (NASDAQ: CECE), a world leader in clean air solutions, “CECO Environmental is the largest independent air pollution control company in N.A. and having been in business since 1907 has established a customer base of over 2000 companies including most of the Fortune 500. As many of our customers have established manufacturing operations in China they imported our technology and expertise into their Chinese facilities. Chinese based companies recognized the multiple benefits that CECO’s environmental installations brought to these new U.S. owned factories and are now hiring CECO to solve their environmental challenges. The market for air pollution control systems in China is vast and with the imminence of the 2008 Olympics plus the pollution potential from the rapidly expanding Chinese economy the demand for all methods of pollution control is and will be enormous.”

Healthcare – The Impact of Air and Water Pollution on Human Health

If you survey any average person on the street that saw Julia Roberts play Erin Brockovich, they can make the instant connection that industrial water pollution can cause multiple forms of cancer. It’s no different in China, but the problem is multiplied beyond anything North America has experienced. Last November, for example, a factory explosion resulted in benzene, a cancer-causing chemical linked to forms of leukemia, to run into the Songhua River, effecting millions of people in northeast China. More recently, the Dasha River was contaminated when a truck overturned dumping in 60 tons of potentially carcinogenic coal tar.

According to a 2006 report by the World Watch Institute, (http://www.worldwatch.org/node/3881), “a Chinese research institute found that 400,000 premature deaths are caused every year in China by diseases linked to air pollution.”

Bridgetech Holdings International, Inc (BGTH:OTCBB), a medical and healthcare company sees China's environmental situation creating a major impact on the country's healthcare, as well as influencing the product mix their company is bringing to the Chinese market.

According to Michael Chermak, Bridgetech's Chairman & CEO, "Over the near term Bridgetech will specialize in introducing oncology products. This is a direct response to the fact that China is experiencing dramatic changes in the types of cancer and in the overall cancer incident rate. This rate is growing at the unprecedented pace of 3.3 percent per year. The environmental problems associated with rapid industrialization, like coal fired power plants, certainly contribute to this high growth rate. The growth of cancer has affected women most severely. In the last fifteen years the incident rate for women has grown from 89 per 100,000 women to 138 per 100,000. For men it is now at 200, up from 148. “

At present, Bridgetech is very encouraged by developments in China's regulatory system. The government's moves to protect intellectual property and to stem the favoritism and traditional practices in China's product distribution system hold much promise for Bridgetech's future because they will allow the company to introduce the very best in foreign technology with less fear that technology might be unfairly appropriated and because the company will be able to apply professional business practices to more effectively distribute its products throughout China. Faced by the demands of a evolving healthcare system and challenged by sudden changes in the nation's epidemiological profile, China's State Food and Drug Administration recognizes the need to supplement its domestic pharmaceutical industry with foreign medications and is proving a fast track to approval for medications that have undergone the approval process of other regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is another positive development for Bridgetech because these are exactly the types of medications the company is seeking approval for.

The Ultimate Goal

We often hear and use the expression "follow the money" to watch and understand industry trends. In China, it's a case of "smell the water and the air” to understand what is needed and where the money should be going in China.

Ironically, information on disasters and health crises may not always be available to the public if the Chinese government has its way, based on newly drafted legislation that will allow them to fine newspapers up to $12,000 if they report on these types of emergencies without first getting permission.

But we won't be in the dark completely if renewable energy companies like Vitasti have their way. As Vitasti, Inc states, “The country knows that it cannot proceed with the economic development and ignore the environment in future growth”

Consumers in China are readily embracing the environmental movement as evidenced by recent info released by Greenpeace International stating that their surveys showed Chinese consumers were prepared to pay more for environmentally friendly PCs than any other country. It's a step towards the ultimate goal of creating balance and harmony with technology and the environment.

The environmental race is one that China cannot afford to loose and based on recent news, they are making serious efforts to repair the damage of the past and find solutions for the future. The question remains – are they moving fast enough? The outcome of the balancing act of managing rapid economic growth and the environmental concerns will impact the world for generations to come as the pollution moves outside of China’s borders.

“A sustainable energy future is possible"

“A sustainable energy future is possible" news from the International Energy Agency (IEA) :

Energy technology scenarios and strategies for a more secure and sustainable energy future


22 June 2006 Paris --- Energy technology scenarios and strategies for a more secure and sustainable energy future

“Technologies can make a difference”, said Claude Mandil, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) today in Paris, presenting the key findings of a new IEA publication: Energy Technology Perspectives: Scenarios and Strategies to 2050. “A sustainable energy future is possible, but only if we act urgently and decisively to promote, develop and deploy a full mix of energy technologies – including improved energy efficiency, CO2 capture and storage (CCS), renewables and -- where acceptable -- nuclear energy. We have the means, now we need the will”, Mr. Mandil added.

Energy Technology Perspectives is part of the Agency's response to the call from G8 leaders at their Summit in Gleneagles in July 2005 for the IEA to advise on alternative scenarios and strategies aimed at a “clean, clever and competitive energy future”. Running up to the St. Petersburg G8 summit the study presents a series of scenarios to demonstrate the role energy technologies that are already available or under development can play in future energy markets. “We find that clean and more efficient technologies can return soaring energy-related CO2 emissions to today’s levels by 2050 and halve the expected growth in both oil and electricity demand”, Mr. Mandil said.

Released against a backdrop of historically high oil prices and global CO2 emissions from energy use almost 25% higher than a decade ago, this groundbreaking IEA publication takes a detailed look at status and prospects for key energy technologies in power generation, buildings, industry and transport. It puts forward strategies for attaining scenarios unimaginable under current trends.

Energy efficiency is essential to mitigate growth in energy demand and CO2 emissions

“Improved energy efficiency is an indispensable component of any policy mix”, said Mr. Mandil, “and it is available immediately”. Accelerating energy efficiency improvements alone can reduce the world’s energy demand in 2050 by an amount equivalent to almost half of today’s global energy consumption. To achieve this, however, “governments, in both OECD and non-OECD countries, must be willing to implement measures that encourage the investment in energy-efficient technologies“, Mr. Mandil added.

Decarbonising power generation is possible

Another key technology is the capture and storage of CO2 emitted from power-generation or industrial processes. The study points out that the early demonstration of CCS in full-scale power plants should be a high priority. “If we do not succeed in making CCS viable, the cost of mitigating CO2 emissions will be much higher”, Mr Mandil warned.

Deploying CCS, along with more renewables, more nuclear and more efficient use of natural gas and coal, can significantly decarbonise global electricity generation by 2050. “With the right policy incentives we think there is scope for renewables to quadruple by 2050 and for nuclear to gain a more important role in countries where it is acceptable”, Mr. Mandil stated.

Alternative Fuel Cars Provide a Solution to Today’s Gas Prices: American Honda Motor Co. Inc. Describes Their Innovations

Alternative Fuel Cars Provide a Solution to Today’s Gas Prices: American Honda Motor Co. Inc. Describes Their Innovations
RenewableEnergyStocks.com – Presents an Audio Interview with American Honda Motor Co. Inc. on Evolving in Today’s Alternative Energy Market
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta, B.C. - June 19, 2006 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com and www.FuelCellCarNews.com leading investor and industry portals for the renewable energy and fuel cell sectors presents an audio interview with Gunnar Lindstrom, Senior Manager of Honda Alternative Fuels, Stephen Ellis, Manager of Fuel Cell Marketing and Chris Martin, Honda Public Relations spokesman. With the demand for alternative fuel vehicles remaining clear amidst concern over depleting oil and fuel resources, the drive in the market to produce a better range of options increases. As many of these technologies continue to evolve, the goal of making the alternative fuel vehicle an easier choice is at the forefront as companies strive to increase marketability and target a wider range of drivers.

In terms of getting to a point where the Company is less reliant on gasoline fueled vehicles, Gunnar Lindstrom says, “It’s just hard work over a long period of time.” American Honda Motor Co. Inc., the sales, marketing and distribution arm of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) reports that the Company plans to refine its own zero-emission FCX vehicle over the next 3-4 years.

As they move ahead in the development of new alternative fuel vehicles, Stephen Ellis reflects the Company had at first learned quite a lot through its initial sale of electric cars, whereby they noticed that people were pleased to refill at home. Hence the Company developed the idea to design home refueling stations, in combination with new home heating technologies. The Company also believes this kind of strategic thinking will be prevalent in the design of future products. The Satellite Linked Navigation System is an example of new innovations which will serve to improve convenience for drivers who are making alternative choices.

In an effort to make alternative fuel cars more marketable, Honda has formed a solid link between their new technology and the existing infrastructure at hand. In this respect Ellis says the company is highly aware that, “As we deploy vehicles with a limited refueling infrastructure, people are going to want to have the confidence to get behind the wheel and know that they are not going to drive beyond the limits of where the refueling stations are.” In terms of overall strategy Lindstrom reports, “We believe that once you have mastered conservation and high efficiency through good gas and hybrid cars, the next step is towards natural gas vehicles and ultimately, it would lead to fuel cell vehicles in the next decade or two.”
