Water- Stocks.com Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management

Water- Stocks.com Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management Inc.

The Case for Water Equity Investing 2010

Point Roberts WA, DELTA, BC –December 2, 2009 http://www.water-stocks.com/, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents an interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc., discussing ‘The Case for Water Equity Investing 2010’.

Summit Global Management, Inc. is an investment firm focusing on global water industry stocks and acquiring and developing water rights and entitlements throughout the world.

Water- Stocks.com Interview with Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc:

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

Jud, can you start with giving our readers some personal background on your entry into the water sector and your current firm, Summit Global and its investment strategy?

A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.

I have been in the cleantech sector, particularly water, for 30 years…long before it was cool. I spent the first half of my career operating clean tech concerns at both Westinghouse and Atlantic Richfield as well taking a cleantech company, Thermatrix, public in the mid nineties. The second half of my career has transitioned to financial areas serving as the Managing Director of HSBC Securities focused on the water sector to the last 10 years in private equity with affiliates of the Texas Pacific Group, including Aqua LLC, a private equity fund focused exclusively in the global water sector.

Summit Global Management is a San Diego-based investment management firm with a strict Discount to Appraised Value philosophy of securities selection, designed to achieve consistent long-term returns while minimizing risk.

Our value discipline has encouraged an unrivaled, 30-year specialization in global hydro commerce and other industries directly impacted by water. Water has historically proven to be an attractive non-cyclical opportunity, and the current reality of exploding demand coupled with diminishing supplies suggests an increasingly compelling and persistent investment theme. We are particularly focused on finding long term investments in the areas of water rights/entitlements and in situ water storage.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

You recently chaired the panel,' EMERGING ASSET CLASSES: WATER, CARBON AND THE GREEN MOVEMENT 'at the Global Financial Leadership Conference held in Naples Florida. Other noted green and cleantech speakers included T. Boone Pickens, Chairman, BP Capital Management discussing 'THE NEW ENERGY PARADIGM'. Can you give is the key points of your panel discussion- and did you walk away with any new insight?

A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.

Sure, it was a very interesting panel. I think it was the first time that many of leaders in the global financial community had heard any in depth discussion regarding how critical a role water plays in global economies and how inexorably water and energy are tied together, For example, as we begin to dramatically ramp up biofuels as an alternative fuel source, we are only now beginning to appreciate that impact some of these alternatives (e.g. corn based ethanol) are having on water supplies. For example, it requires 100 times more water to produce a gallon of ethanol versus conventional gasoline and depending on the region can cause dramatic consequences relative to maintaining a sustainable water resource…let alone its impact of food pricing.

Another enlightening example is contrasting and comparing “peak energy” to “peak water”. Peak energy albeit important to national security and global economies there ultimately are substitutes to fossil fuels (e.g. nuclear, solar wind); however, water has no substitute and is a very local commodity. When an aquifer is pumped essentially dry and surface waters are dramatically depleted and/or contaminated the price of water will rise dramatically and not only will economies be affected but there may be dramatic impacts on human health effecting food supplies and access to clean water and sanitation.

The water/energy nexus has other important parallels, another example being, as we strive to reduce carbon footprints and conserve carbon, California uses over 20% of its energy to move water and in many areas, due to antiquated water lines as much as 30% of the potable water is lost thru infiltration. Simply said, if we want to save energy, we need to fix the water infrastructure.

As a consequence, water is only now beginning to be appreciated as an asset class, creating investment interest in owning the right to use water (e.g. water rights/entitlements) in those areas of the world that have defined regulatory frameworks and provide for private ownership, principally the western United States and Australia. This is sometimes referred to as “wet water” versus investing in the general water domain (e.g., pumps, membranes, utilities) or “hydro commerce”. Water has historically been under priced and with an inexorable growing demand and more rational pricing models being adopted I believe “wet water” will be a critical resource to have in a diversified investment portfolio.

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

In Summit's report, 'The Case for Water Equity Investing 2010' , (http://www.summitglobal.com/documents/SummitCaseWaterEquityInvesting2010.pdf) you go through the underlying drivers for investing in water , from supply and demand to, to geographic imbalance between sources and use, to aging and insufficient infrastructure to increasing regulation and heightened awareness . For our readers, can you summarize the points and let us know what you think the most significant driving force is?

A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.

There are a number of key trends to watch. First and foremost is the basic understanding that water has no substitute.., unlike energy. and there is a fixed finite supply (only 2.5% of the worlds water supply is fresh and of that 70% is locked up in glaciers and permafrost). Secondly, water is heavy (7lbs/gal) and is very expensive to move and not surprising there are large populations where fresh water is in short supply (e.g. middle east, western US, China and India).

So like politics, water is local… and therefore not surprisingly very political and emotional asset. Accordingly that leads to water allocation and prioritization. Typically 70% of water supplies are allocated to agriculture with the balance going to municipal and industrial uses. And finally, as in any valued commodity, the controlling metric is price. As the price of water rises, which it is at an increasing rate, alternative options become cost effective, driving investment and opportunity.

These opportunities can be seen in a variety of areas. A few examples include the proliferation of desalination plants and membrane improvements, remote metering and more efficient irrigation techniques such as drip irrigation.

The other key trend to watch is what is being referred to as “virtual water”…the amount of water that is required to produce a specific good. For example, it takes 5,000 gallons of water to yield a bushel of wheat and 1000 gallons of water to put a hamburger on a bun. We are beginning to see both industries and countries consider the impacts of virtual water as a key component of sustainable development and growth,

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

Your report also goes into detail on the opportunities in the water investing universe. For investors looking at the sector - what are some key trends and events they need to be on the watch for to really move the stocks in the sector?

A- Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Summit Global Management, Inc.

We see strong fundamental drivers for sustainable growth and equity appreciation in global
“hydrocommerce,” investors have the opportunity today to invest in water companies at more attractive
valuations than have been available for a number of years.

Despite the negative short-term impact of the financial crisis, water equities are uniquely resistant to external economic cycles because of the decreasingly available supply and increasingly relentless demand for water. We believe water stocks represent an attractive alternative “store of value” in an uncertain world – a good place to save money for a rainy day.

The lure of water investing is not a new idea, but it is one that deserves fresh examination from the
perspective of the revised business expectations and new economic environment to emerge from the
wreckage of 2008. The intention of this document is not to promote a specific investment style or strategy,
only to be a broad overview of issues relevant to the serious investor in water equities.

People new to the concept of water investing are encouraged to read The Case for Water Equity Investing
2010 in its entirety in order to gain a complete understanding of the space, from its most fundamental
aspects on up.

In summary, it’s difficult to summarize in a few words other than providing some anecdotal metrics and examples. I would encourage your readers to take a few minutes and click thru to the link http://www.summitglobal.com/documents/SummitCaseWaterEquityInvesting2010.pdf I think they will find the information enlightening.

Green Energy in the US: Renewable Investment, Capacity Growth and Future Outlook for the Multi Billion Dollar Industry

Research and Markets: Green Energy in the US: Renewable Investment, Capacity Growth and Future Outlook for the Multi Billion Dollar Industry


DUBLIN---Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c4f69d/green_energy_in_th) has announced the addition of the "Green Energy in the US: Renewable Investment, Capacity Growth and Future Outlook" report to their offering.

US electrical production capacity and generation has had historically an energy mix consisting primarily of fossil fuels including gas, coal and oil, backed up with a volume of nuclear and hydro power. With the new presidency have come new decisions. The US department of energy announced massive investment in the renewable industry including $60bn in clean energy investments, which will include $11bn in a smart grid system, $2bn in developing the next generation of energy storage batteries. An announced move away from corn-based ethanol fuel and $1.8bn investment in the next generation of biofuels will stimulate the vehicular fuel industry, towards a cleaner, more efficient system. The new administration has announced intention to develop available offshore renewable energy source located on the continental shelf area. The area has vast potential and scientists estimate that 900GW of wind power may be achieved.


Although still primarily a conventional thermal based country, through incentivized support in renewable energy, a new energy market is beginning to evolve. Recent addition has been made to the energy mix by way of renewable energy technologies which include power from the wind - wind turbines, and power from the sun - solar cells, and geothermal - relying on the heat that can be found at varying degrees of depth into the Earth's surface. In the last decade newly installed renewable energy technologies are starting to gain a notable share of the market. This report documents the growth of this new market, showing its current status and projecting where it is likely to grow to in the foreseeable future. This document gathers the statistical data on the different types of energy generation, combines and contrasts them against each other to show the clear leaders, drivers to change and future growth.


Scope of this report
•Analysis of energy type volumes, capacity installed and generation output across the US. •Market projections to 2020, including an evaluation of energy type and national growth potential. •Overview of trends impacting on and shaping innovation in the energy market. •New renewable energy technology analysis including innovation, capacity investment. •Insight relating to the most innovative product launches and potential areas of opportunity for manufacturers. •Examination of the key technology introductions and innovations •Identification of the key trends shaping the market, as well as an evaluation of emerging trends that will drive innovation moving forward. Reasons to purchase this report
•Achieve a quick and comprehensive understanding of how US market trends and legislation are influencing the development of the renewable energy market. •Realize up to date competitive intelligence through a comprehensive review of the US market renewable energy market between 1990 and 2008. •Assess the emerging trends in renewable energy technology - wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass, tidal, wave - capacity and generation. •Identify which key trends will offer the greatest growth potential and learn which trends are likely to remain niche over the next 10 years. •Compare how manufacturers are positioning new product developments to gain market share and achieve the highest sales potential. •Quantify value and volume growth potential in major regional markets and in energy generation technology type. •Identify winning product positioning developed from an assessment of current and emerging trends Key market issues addressed
•Environmental regulations: Imminent environmental targets set to control Carbon dioxide emissions in the US using a cap and trade mechanism are creating a path for lower carbon emitting power generation technologies. Recent capacity investment has focused on wind turbines, gas and solar photovoltaic installations. •Renewable Electricity market incentives: The US is has in place state level Renewable energy Production Standards and the Production Tax Credit which promote the development of renewable energy projects across the country, and are responsible for robust incentivized growth. •Energy efficiency:- The current electrical infrastructure experiences substantial energy loss from generation to transmission to load delivery. A more efficient system is required, a network that can take advantage of the intermittent supply nature of wind and solar - and balance these with the more constant and reliable conventional thermal generation, geothermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power. Recent US policy has awarded investment into an intelligent grid system. The US has also announced energy efficiency measures to include appliances, vehicles and power plants. •Energy security:- Oil, coal and gas supply and pricing structures are volatile and uncontrollable, due to the majority imported from non-US countries. This volatility is likely to increase as reserves of the natural resources decline. •Centralized network to distributed:- the changeover to renewable technologies is a changeover to a distributed energy system, as renewable energy technologies take advantage of natural resources such as wind, solar or thermal energy which are more concentrated in specific geographical locations. Key findings from this report
•In terms of new capacity installed during 2008, the US was the largest market with 8,346.0MW, followed by China (6,300.0MW), then India (1,800.0MW), then Germany (1,665.0MW), then Spain (1,609.0 MW), and Italy (1,010.0 MW). •Out of the 5,568MW of global capacity which was installed during 2008, Spain grid-connect PV market accounted for 45.1%, Germany accounted for 26.9% and US accounted for 6.1%. •Hydropower accounts for approximately 5.8% of world electricity supply. In 2008, the total world's hydroelectricity consumption was 3,170.9TWH. The US ranked fourth with a consumption of 250.6TWH in 2008. The US is the world leader in geothermal energy and, at the end of 2008, had cumulative installed capacity of 3,040.3MW. •In 2008, the total generation of electricity in the US was 4,110bn KWH. Generation of electricity in the US is dominated by coal. During 2008, 48.5% of the total US electric power was generated at coal-fired plants. Natural gas-fired plants contributed 21.3% to the total US electricity generation followed by nuclear plants with 19.6%. Key questions answered by this report

EcoFactor Wins World's Largest Clean Tech Business Competition With Its Personalized Residential Energy Management Solution

EcoFactor Wins World's Largest Clean Tech Business Competition With Its Personalized Residential Energy Management Solution

Redwood City-Based Startup Named Cleantech Open National Award Winner

REDWOOD CITY, CA- - November 19, 2009- EcoFactor, the premier provider of personalized solutions for managing residential energy use, announced today that it has won the grand prize in the Cleantech Open national business plan competition, the largest competition of its kind. EcoFactor was recognized for its personalized residential energy management solution, which offers real benefits to consumers, utilities, energy retailers and home service providers.


The Cleantech Open included 278 contestants from three regions -- California, Rocky Mountain and the Pacific Northwest -- competing in multiple rounds of regional competition judged by prominent venture capitalists and clean tech industry experts. In October, EcoFactor was named the winner in the smart power category, giving them the opportunity to present on the main stage of the Cleantech Open Awards Gala on November 17 and vie for the national grand prize.


"While energy efficiency isn't the flashiest corner of clean tech, and HVAC management isn't the most exciting story to tell, we're offering tangible, real-world value that can have a huge impact on energy savings," said John Steinberg, EcoFactor CEO and co-founder. "Considering all of the innovative clean technology ideas coming out of Silicon Valley and around the world, this recognition truly shows that people are looking for energy efficiency solutions that don't ask people to change behavior or sacrifice comfort."
"This year's competition was full of exceptional companies. EcoFactor's win speaks to its unique strengths: a smart, capital-efficient and scaleable business model; solving a real need in the market today; and providing a compelling go-to-market strategy," said Cleantech Open judge and Cleantech Circle Managing Partner Christopher O. Vargas. "The judges felt EcoFactor will make a substantial contribution to the clean tech industry, measurably reduce energy use and carbon consumption and, most importantly, deliver immediate bottom-line cost savings to customers."

EcoFactor's SaaS-based solution works with a two-way communicating thermostat and a broadband Internet connection to develop a dynamic, customized heating and cooling strategy that can save homeowners an average of 20-30 percent on their HVAC energy spend. The company's personalized approach to HVAC management takes into account thousands of data points, including weather patterns, a home's unique thermal characteristics and occupant preferences, in order to provide a more effective solution that is responsive to the conditions at each individual home. In addition to consumer savings, EcoFactor offers cost-effective and self-validating energy efficiency, demand response and load forecasting to utilities and energy retailers. The company recently announced its first commercial deployment with Oncor, a regulated electric utility delivering power to more than three million homes and businesses in Texas.

"Being chosen as the national award winner in the CleanTech Open is a huge honor and goes a long way towards validating our business model," said Scott Hublou, EcoFactor co-founder and senior vice president of products. "From the beginning we've been determined to find a solution that finds common ground for energy providers and consumers in reducing energy usage, and now we feel even more confident in the value that we are delivering to both parties."


About EcoFactor
EcoFactor provides personalized solutions for managing residential energy use for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).

Cleantech News - GE (NYSE: GE) , Chinese Partners Sign Agreements to Advance Clean Technologies, Create Jobs

Cleantech News - GE (NYSE: GE) , Chinese Partners Sign Agreements to Advance Clean Technologies, Create Jobs

‘Company’ to Country’ strategy leads to growth opportunities

•GE Aviation, AVIC Systems create global avionics business for commercial aircraft •GE Energy, Shenhua Group Corporation to accelerate “cleaner coal” technologies, coal gasification in China •GE Transportation, China’s Ministry of Railways to advance high-speed rail partnership opportunities in the United States •GE Transportation, CSR Qishuyan Locomotive Co. announce diesel engine joint venture •CSR Qishuyan Locomotive Co. agrees to purchase 300 Evolution® Series locomotive assemblies •Ventures will create jobs in both countries, including about 500 in U.S.

GE (NYSE: GE) and its Chinese partners that represent some of that country’s key infrastructure development goals announced the signing of a series of “Country to Company” agreements aimed at promoting collaboration between GE and Chinese public and private sector aviation, energy and transportation organizations. The announcements, which were made as part of "GE's Clean Technology Week in China" activities, included the formation of two joint ventures – in avionics and locomotive engines; and the parties’ agreements to explore future “cleaner coal” gasification and high-speed rail opportunities.

The agreements encourage active collaboration to advance clean technologies that address both long-term strategic challenges and economic opportunities for GE and China. Over time, these initiatives are expected to create and safeguard thousands of jobs in both countries.

Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO of GE said, “These agreements share common themes – rapid growth potential, clean technologies and job creation. Whether expanding our existing aviation, energy and transportation relationships or looking at technology collaborations to open up new growth opportunities, partnerships like these help protect and grow employment for both GE and China’s infrastructure sectors.

“We expect these investments and commitments to yield long-term benefits,” Immelt said. “New global sales will be a direct result of these collaborations – safeguarding and growing U.S. jobs while supporting Chinese growth for GE businesses and the Chinese aviation, energy and transportation industries,” Immelt said. These partnerships will also give GE the opportunity to strengthen our own local capabilities, enhancing our ability to serve our Chinese customers as that nation drives its technology initiatives.”

Mark Norbom, GE’s president & CEO for Greater China, said: “The deals we are signing are built upon GE's rapid growth in mainland China in the first three quarters of 2009. They not only represent tremendous growth opportunities for our China platforms but also support jobs in the United States. The partnerships we are building with the Chinese industry leaders will better position GE in strategic growth sectors in China such as aviation, transportation and energy. "

Spanning GE’s industrial portfolio, the announcements include initiatives in the following areas:

•Avionics joint venture: GE Aviation and AVIC Systems will create a global avionics business to develop and market integrated systems for commercial aircraft customers. The joint venture, to be headquartered in Beijing, China, plans to offer fully integrated, open architecture avionics and services for future civil aircraft programs. The joint venture, which was announced on Sunday, may create more than 200 U.S. jobs. •Cleaner coal energy: GE Energy and Shenhua Group Corporation have agreed to a framework for an industrial coal gasification joint venture. GE and Shenhua would conduct research and development on new cleaner coal technologies to improve cost and performance of commercial scale gasification and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) solutions, and jointly pursue the deployment of commercial scale IGCC plants with carbon capture and sequestration. To further progress "cleaner coal" IGCC technology in China, the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) announced its intention to fund the initial steps toward a plant in China based on GE's technology. •Advancing high-speed rail technologies: GE and the China’s Ministry of Railways (MOR) are considering advancing partnership opportunities to pursue high-speed rail projects in the United States. While GE is the world leader in diesel-electric locomotive technology, GE does not currently manufacture locomotives for high-speed rail travel. A successful partnership with the MOR would allow GE to more effectively compete against European and Japanese companies for high-speed rail related opportunities and would create in the near future about 150 high technology jobs in the U.S. and sustain approximately 3,500 U.S. jobs over time – at least 80% of the content would be sourced from, and all final assembly will take place in the U.S. •Transportation locomotive assemblies order: CSR Qishuyan Locomotive Co., Ltd. agreed to purchase 300 Evolution® Series locomotive assemblies. The agreement helps to sustain nearly 1,200 clean-technology jobs in the U.S. •Engine joint venture: GE Transportation and CSR Qishuyan will form a joint venture company to develop, build and service GE’s Evolution® Series locomotive diesel engines in China, where there is significant opportunity for modernization. Of the 12,000 diesel locomotives in China, only a small fraction are advanced technology. Also, as demand for the ecomagination™ certified technology increases around the world, the new company would jointly seek future commercial opportunities. The announcements came as GE’s “Company to Country” strategy continues to bear fruit. In 2006 GE signed a memorandum of understanding with China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) to explore broad partnerships with the Chinese government and state-owned companies, especially on GE’s green initiative “ecomagination.” The areas of cooperation with NDRC cover energy, transportation, aviation, water, lighting and other key infrastructure sectors.

GE started doing business in China as early as 1906 and was considered one of the most active foreign companies in the country at the time. Currently GE runs 36 wholly owned or joint venture companies in China ranging from manufacturing, service, research and development, financial services and sourcing, with a total workforce of over 13,000. GE is actively involved in China's infrastructure expansion by offering products and technologies in power generation, oil & gas, water treatment, aviation, transportation, healthcare, security, lighting, power distribution and financial TV.

To learn more about GE’s announcements in China this week, visit http://www.ge.com/chinanews.

GE (NYSE: GE) is a diversified infrastructure, finance and media company taking on the world’s toughest challenges. From aircraft engines and power generation to financial services, medical imaging, and television programming, GE operates in more than 100 countries and employs about 300,000 people worldwide.

Water- Stocks.com Interview with Bill Brennan, Brennan Investment Partners LLC Discusses Investing in Global Water Equities 2009 & Beyond

Where the opportunities exist for investors, as companies provide solutions to the ever growing water crisis


Point Roberts WA, DELTA, BC –November 10, 2009 www.Water-Stocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the water sector within Investorideas.com, presents an interview with Bill Brennan, President & CIO
of Brennan Investment Partners LLC, an investment advisor that specializes in the analysis of and investment in domestic and foreign securities of the global water business

Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

Bill can you give our readers some background on your history in the water sector and some insight into your firm’s focus and direction.


A- Bill Brennan
Brennan Investment Partners LLC

I started out as an engineer in the environmental area dealing with ground water quality issues and the actual construction of drinking water and waste water plants globally 20 years ago. I then went to Coopers & Lybrand where I headed up the environmental consulting arm in the Eastern US. After business school I went over to the public company side as an equity analyst with Pacific Growth Equities in San Francisco where I focused on industrial and environmental companies. My specific water focus regarding equities is directly attributed to John Dickerson at Summit Global in San Diego and the direction he has provided me since 1994. John liked the fact that I had actual experience as an engineer/consultant and public equity experience in the water space. He taught me a great deal about becoming a true value investor in the water space and has heavily influenced my value approach to investing. Over the last ten years I have managed various water products here in the States and in Europe. I presently manage the Kinetics Water Infrastructure Fund-KWINX as the portfolio manager and the sub advisor.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

Bill, your firm issued a report, Investing in Global Water Equities 2009 & Beyond that examines the substantial opportunity in the sector. Can you give our readers a summary of the scope and size of the market potential?

A- Bill Brennan
Brennan Investment Partners LLC

The size of the market and the global opportunity is staggering. We estimate that approximately 550+ companies around the world provide numerous services and products into the water sector which is the third largest industry from an embedded capital standpoint at almost $700 Billion in spending. Besides the core water providers such as utilities and industrials, companies involved in agriculture, hydroelectric, waste management also have significant exposure to the water space since it is the backbone of their respective industries. The paper, which can be found on your site, also addresses where the opportunities exist for investors as companies in our universe provide solutions to the ever growing water crisis.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com
Can you break down the water investment sector into sub sectors for us and what sub sector presents the most opportunity in the short term and long term and what factors are driving it?


A- Bill Brennan
Brennan Investment Partners LLC

We like the water utilities since they have a monopoly as far as controlling the commodity to a large degree. With a guaranteed growth due to the public utility commission aspect of the business that reimburse for capital expenditures as we rebuild our water network in the US and build out water infrastructure in emerging countries. We also invest in various industrial aspects of the business such as pipes, membranes, water meters and desalination that have the potential for above average returns over the long run. The spending on water is especially strong in emerging markets. The growth experienced in the US in the 20th century will be mirrored in emerging markets but at a very compressed timeline-we estimate within the next ten years. Government will always have a hand in the oversight of water management and rates which in our opinion is a positive. Global governments realize GDP is completely dependent on water availability and use/reuse in order to sustain growth rates over extended periods of time. Therefore we tend to have a longer time horizon regarding our approach. We emphasize risk management with an eye on minimizing volatility in our products.


Q- Dawn Van Zant at Water-stocks.com

Its been noted that water is still a relatively small part of the overall investment in the cleantech space to date, with some of the well known names like Khosla recently making investments . Why do you think that is and what is it going to take to make water a more significant play in cleantech?


A- Bill Brennan
Brennan Investment Partners LLC

I can’t tell you how many times I have been asked this question over the last year. When we look at the Private Equity-Cleantech situation, there are several entry points starting with true venture investing and ending with the classic buyout investment. The Growth capital aspect of PE is tough in this sector because a lot of good properties have been bought by the larger water platforms-GE, Siemens, etc. The companies that are still private are private for a reason-either they cannot be effectively scaled or the owners don’t need or want a strategic investor. One of our Advisors, Dr. Rengarajan Ramesh, the former CTO of GE Water has broken the main issues into four areas that I think private equity should focus on before any investment is undertaken. The issues are as follows: 1. Existing laws not enforced. - Leading to significant increase in healthcare costs. Johns Hopkins estimates that costs of water related illness is about 12 -14% of the total US healthcare costs. This can be verified and validated by Bloomberg school of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. 2. Water problems are all local - Lack of availability, with no progress towards conservation like rainwater harvesting, storage, and water reuse. So, each community should take the responsibility both for conservation and reuse. Similarly each community should have a strategy to protect, preserve and prolong their underground assets to ensure safe, clean drinking water to their homes. If they fail to do so, they will be faced with very high costs and a failed infrastructure. Problem needs to be treated locally and on a state by state basis. 3. Price - Historically prices have been low. Now it is clear that the prices are moving up where we will move towards full cost pricing that encompasses the cost associated with treatment, conveyance and the energy to do both. The cost to treat and move water has gone up and the current price increases for water still does not reflect the true costs and only addresses the higher energy costs associated with moving the water. One way to keep prices under check is to leverage harvesting of rainwater and reuse with distributed systems. 4. Agriculture - Lack of water efficiency in agriculture and current use it or lose it water rights do not help in promoting conservation in agriculture. Subsidies / incentives need to be given to promote water efficiency along with penalties for polluters (groundwater contamination due to agricultural drainage). So the opportunity exists for investments in a combination of pre-existing technologies into a comprehensive solution set that can be provided in a turnkey fashion and for water conservation technologies at the residential, commercial, and agriculture levels.

reports wind turbine manufacturer GC China Turbine Corp. (OTCBB: GCHT) goes public in reverse merger.

GC China Turbine Corp. Announces Close of Financing and Completion of Reverse Acquisition –

Company Now Moves Ahead as a Major Wind Turbine Manufacturer


NEW YORK, NY--- November 5, 2009 - GC China Turbine Corp. (OTCBB: GCHT) is pleased to announce that pursuant to the previously announced Share Exchange Agreement the company is now the 100% owner of GC Nordic Group and has become a leading manufacturer of state-of-the-art 2-bladed wind turbines based in China.

The consummation of the share exchange transaction was contingent on a minimum equity financing of US$ 8,000,000. Clarus Capital Limited acted as lead placement agent assisting notable clean energy advocates Longboard Capital Advisors LLC in their participation as lead investors together with the support of Southridge Investment Group LLC's clean energy practice and network of renewable energy Investors across the USA and Northern Europe as well as the welcome efforts of many other qualified co-investors.

The financing was over-subscribed resulting in the purchase of 6,400,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, a debt financing transaction closed with Clarus Capital Limited in the amount of US$ 1,000,000, convertible into the Company's common stock at US$ 2.00 per share. The current investment along with the previously announced US$ 10 million round provides the Company with a combined capital raise of US$ 19 million for the issuance of an aggregate total of 18,900,000 shares.

The management of GC China Turbine Corp. is very pleased by the Company's ability to readily access investment capital and is further excited by its early stage sales performance and future growth opportunities. Recent contract announcements amounting to nearly US$ 128 million in sales and plans for the rapid development of newer and significantly more powerful turbines provides a strong fundamental platform from which to capitalize on GC China's innovative technology and unique market position. With the conclusion of the share exchange transaction and financing the Company now has the ability to forge ahead with strategic plans to solidify its position as a leading manufacturer in the rapidly growing and government mandated wind power energy sector in China.

Further details regarding the Company and details of the share exchange, debt and equity financing agreements along with further information about the business, financial condition and management of GC China and related parties are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.
