Ex Director’s Report. ABO: Two Weeks, Two Reports
Posted by greensciences in Algae, Truth in Markets on February 11, 2011
First rate Executive Director, however I would have had the report out in 24 hours had it been me. I would also have hired our Bio Energy Strategic Integrations Officer to write the report.
Biofuels should replace M.E. Imports

CANADA 1,975
MEXICO 1,229
VENEZUELA 884
BRAZIL 188 This is an ideal working partner source country.
COLOMBIA 489
RUSSIA 553
ALGERIA 379
Advanced Biofuels should be ramped up to replace M.E. Imports as conservation also improves. BTL, or GTL, the future numbers must exceed current projected increases. This sustainable fuels effort would utilize feedstocks that are not food crop oriented. These fuels would support sustainable forest objectives. These biofuels should be in the black on their own merit without subsidies. These biofuels feedstocks would be no till & organic. This is only possible as permaculture integration becomes the norm.
Most have simply missed this important aspect.
This is a long term effort that will require a national scope as it is proven on a regional level. Sustainable Distribution models will begin to produce meaningful advantages as they are designed and developed.
Important algae research should be supported and valued.
Interesting observations from a VC perspective…

BACT, best available control technology, has just shifted to BRIGHT GREEN

That being said the new year brings new surprises for those wishing to build new, old energy design, POWER projects, or clean, 30 year old, ones. Those new cost considerations are far more advanced that present thinking and they will require a whole new cost est. projection, which is the very project we have been working on for years, relative to integrated clean solutions. It was never enough to simply do the min. required in old cleaning work. While it is easy to see that work was much better than nothing, $119 Million will not get the job done anymore.
We attempted to make this point before the deadline for the new rules to KICK IN on JAN.1 and no one seemed to listen. Time and Time again we have been saying this is far more costly than most might think and yet M&A with regard to power went right on as if they simply had no care in the world. All the while this is what you might now get new in basic combined cycle systems..
Keep in mind that is NEW POWER PLANT Construction not something 30 years old, or older.
Not that this is remotely like, what we might wish to build for the same, Massive Amount, of money.
Even with all our work we still don’t have a total projected number and it may be months before we do, even as we are working full bore on the project. While all of this research is private, to be sure it is FAR NORTH by a long SHOT of that old clean number. Our work has not come up with a total figure as yet but as the managing partner, I am able to say, there is no way that number is even in the ballpark.
More will be in our 2011 Power Report, however that report as are all reports will be private. That data is only provided to our private Energy Division and the Bus. Dev. Working Partners. It will also be provided to all Licensee holders.
To be sure, A Permaculture Mindset MUST BE REQUIRED, as we view BACT, IN AMERICA STARTING IN 2011
Anything short of that missed the B, as in BEST.

Just got this today, showing someone IS BURNING HOT WITH BRIGHT GREEN ENERGY..
I am very pleased to see no NUMBERS were injected into this very important announcement and HOPE they will not be in the future as the real numbers make SHAKE The foundations of these old energy THINKERS. This REGION is in OUR WHEELHOUSE to be sure WE will want to speak to all Executives with regard to this NEW BACT, REDESIGN with CLEAN GREEN SOLUTIONS EST. in PRIVATE.
HOPE IS ALIVE and Growing Stronger by the DAY
With regard to the Site remediation $500M to $800M JOB. That should be directed by the .org that force the clean up in the first DAMN place. Read their PDF here…
Micro-algae extract energy from waste gases
In the vicinity of Aachen is a greenhouse which doesn’t grow plants, but algae. Researchers use it to extract CO2 from the exhaust gases of a coal power plant.
Integration will shift CCS to CCSC
It is possible to see the potential shift from Carbon Capture & Storage to Carbon Capture, Storage & Conversion. This is a major step forward to new cost effective alternative power and fuel. It is the infrastructure expense that must be reduced. It is the closed loop network that must be designed with those cost considerations in mind. Operations and working production plant life will make or break the best integrated green sustainable designs.
Utilizing co2 to enhance the production of algae is part of that integration. The ideal power mix must be both sustainable and a hybrid closed loop design that will reduce land demands on a large scale.
Our design is unique to our research in that we see this integration as vital to the economic and green co product production. Our advantage is M&A with integration & operations in mind. Select old energy projects have the potential to be converted. Any effective first phase of potential alternative power and fuel development will look to conversion, retrofit, and remodel before new plant development. We will not be seeking working agreements with old energy projects but rather conversion after Acq. as attractive options present themselves & infrastructure expenses are improved.
Conversion potential is global as CCS may become CCSC here….

How Rigged is energy trading? How did Banksters get into energy trading?
Posted by 2011wd in 2010 Energy Report, Agri Char, Algae, Blowing the F#*@ing Whistle, BTL, Energy Conservation is JOB 1, Energy Policy, Green Sustainable Future on May 13, 2010
Until the fuels are cheaper at the pump, these wholesale energy numbers mean nothing to consumers or business. If prices are not coming down at the retail level the rest is just window dressing padding the pockets of WHO?
When did energy trading become such a GIANT SCREW JOB? Who started this SCAM in the first place? How did they do it? Who bank rolled them? How did the Banksters get into Energy Trading? How Rigged is Energy Trading?
Why does all this matter?
There is no real economic recovery without lower prices at the pump! Without an economic recovery that is real there is no new development. Green Sustainable Energy Projects will simply remain on the drawing boards & real alternatives to oil & natural gas will be limited to misguided BTL projects that should never be funded in the first place.
The Green Sustainable Future is defeated before it is started by mountains of money going into the pockets of the energy traders and the Banksters, while consumers and business fight to stay afloat.
CDO’s are just the tip of the iceberg… http://bit.ly/bDNEjb It seems the PROBE dealing with Banksters must start somewhere. This is not where we would start. We would start with energy trading.
$160-$300 Billion Est. Cost per year to Consumers & Businesses due to Energy Speculation

Finally an Energy report worth writing about. Good for the one investment banking firm that seems to consider the merit of truthful reporting. Even as they report in their disclaimer they might be at a conflict of interest.
Read the report here… http://bit.ly/dCEqe6
This goes to the heart of our energy research for many years and the question becomes how did these energy trading divisions make these kind of gains as supply and demand factors didn’t seem to warrant the price action?
Bankers have no DAMN business in ENERGY other than to provide loans. Guess where all these FAT BONUSES ARE COMING FROM THEY ARE PAYING OUT TO EACH OTHER!!!!!!!
Why should we care? It’s hard to talk energy conservation and sound economics without having energy prices fall to lower levels as fuel costs suck both consumers and businesses dry. The only way this nation is going to lead a green sustainable future is to be sound economically. That doesn’t happen without reduced energy prices. There is no green sustainable developement on the order that will be needed without loan protection. That loan protection doesn’t happen without a strong dollar and a strong bond. Everything is connected.
Who is attempting to drive prices all over the map and why? Could it be the energy trading divisions of the very same banks that provided the loans to Enron? It would be interesting to look at all 98 banks that provided loans to Enron just to see which ones now have energy trading divisions. We will list them all here.
Could they have learned their current energy trading practices from the old natural gas and electricity trading methods of Enron? Did the banks take stock in Enron as collateral for bad debts knowing they might get first shot at the energy assets that might help them one day have their own energy trading divisions? How is it that banks got into energy trading in the first place? When did this happen? Why? & How?
Congress is talking about demanding action for the very first time, see link here…
We have no conflict of interest. We simply wish to get to the bottom of the who, what, when and why of it. Maybe one day it will be possible to build clean energy projects if we find the answers. If we do, we will not be taking one DAMN DIME from any of these banks that have energy trading divisions and that you can take to the BANK. Better yet take it to your credit union, or community bank. Regional or International if you must.

Excellent observations by Peter..
Will be adding his link soon.
