The Federal Gov. & the Fed. just got wise. U.S. Vs Banks, followed by the Twist
Posted by 2011wd in 2011 Energy Report, 2011 Power Report, Blowing the F#*@ing Whistle, BTL, Dollar, FED, God Bless America, Gold, Greed, Pre Treatment, Regional and Community banks, Speak Truth To Power, U.S. Federal Gov., Waste To Energy on September 3, 2011
First the Federal Gov. is going after the banks, which is long past due. How they could let, those in leadership roles in that sector, maintain any kind of normal life, is beyond logic. The massive scale of the SCAM they pulled, is nothing short of The biggest CON JOB on the American People, that has ever taken place. Only when the U.S. claws back every dime, will we begin to see any kind of justice, for the damage done.
Millions have been wiped out by job loss, home loss, property loss, savings, & pension loss, as Main Street becomes the victim of Wall Street. Who got hit the most? The list is long.
Small Business Owners. With no working capital and no hope of new lending options, it’s only a matter of time before they go out of business. While mid cap and big cap can always cut back, & restructure to survive, the small business owner simply can’t hold on. In most cases, everything they have is wrapped up in their business. Once the business goes under, everything else is gone. Everything.
Employees who experienced home value loss, & pension plan loss, then are forced to early retirement. Not only do they no longer have a pay check coming in, they can’t get their home refinanced and they have seen their pension fund either dry up and blow away or reduced to nothing in very short order as they find it impossible to pay the mortgage with no new money coming in.
Workers who were on the part time, two job, small income bubble. Now are lucky to find any kind of work at all. Without work & no savings, this leaves very few options short of some type of charity or assistance. Millions are in this boat now in the U.S. With prices still high for food, fuel, insurance, electric, it becomes almost impossible to live day to day, without a job.
How the U.S. Federal Gov. can put a price tag on all of this loss, is something that becomes almost impossible to imagine. Millions of Americans have been impacted by this SCREW JOB. NOT ONE FINANCIAL PERSON has been held accountable as yet. NOT ONE. All hidden behind the Too Big To Fail, Cloak. While it’s too little to late, maybe, just maybe, the Federal Gov. is getting it’s ACT TOGETHER.
FINALLY.
The American People DEMAND SOME FORM OF JUSTICE. Hopefully the U.S. Justice Department is up to the TASK. WE SHALL SEE.
The next wise call comes from the FED with their new TWIST MOVE. Selling almost all of their $265 Billion short end paper by June 13, 2012, in order to buy back $265 Billion in long term bonds is by far the best move they have made in the last 3 years. The yield curve becomes almost nothing which means the free ride the banks had in the spread will soon be GONE.
Two very wise moves followed by an excellent 4 hour meeting on pre-treatment. WE ARE NOTHING SHORT OF MOVED. When the markets start to fall we shall see just how smart they really are. Here is a little HINT!! Stay the HELL OUT OF IT.

Pre-treatment Aspects presented today regarding Ionic Liquids show promise. Excellent work by J Bay.
Here the science..
http://www.jbei.org/deconstruction/pretreatment.shtml
Pre-treatment has always been of major interest, as has the mixed feedstock study. This data is most helpful, as is most of the J Bay work.
It is worth pointing out Our Chief Integration Officer might enjoy going back there at some point. To be sure, she should be playing a key role with her research in the not to distant future. That is an objective we are working to advance now with our new natural enzyme and oils division. See..
Just got the site up last week, however we will whip it into shape soon.
It would seem some one is finally waking up.

Half coming from U.S. Reserves
It’s called buy low, sell high. Since when has it been any different.
If you had the 727M barrels, when would you sell?
When would you buy?
There is record supply, the supply and demand is totally out of wack, & yet the price is near all time highs.
Lucky it’s not me trading that reserve. I would sell every damn barrel. Then I would short the bastard.
Then I would turn around and buy it back. I would damn sure get rid of all that sour first.
Then I would take the $39B loan protection set aside for N.P. and shift it to alternative energy production and you can bet your butt I would produce FUEL and not need a DROP OF OIL. If you’re producing power at the same time it simply means you know what the hell you’re doing. It’s called integration. Anything less is a WASTE OF MONEY.
CPI chart does show it all.

the chart shows the next swing will be to the down side. That downside swing maybe massive, lasting as long as the 08 downward swing and all directly related to the price of the product.
if you do not understand domestic U.S. Supply and Demand, then you do not understand the price action of light sweet and if you don’t, you will never understand the action of anything else. If you are in alternatives, you can get your teeth kicked in, as most have, simply because they don’t understand the price action.
If you have raised public money without knowing this price action, heaven help your investors.
everything moves around the price of the product and to be sure the supply and demand, U.S. domestic is as out of wack as it was in 08.
this all set up by traders, who are banksters and wall st., just as it was in 2008.
they play it for as long as they are able until the shorts come in big and then they pound it the other way on the backs of the short positions.
once again they will clean up trading the price of the product and to be sure most will have shorted the dollar, just when they expected the product price to climb higher.
As for PMs. When you see them call for more cover, they know what is coming. IT’s a signal that they want to make sure your down side risk is going to be PAID IN FULL.
Wide swings come into play, as everyone wants in and out on any news that sounds good.
The chart…
There is your trading signal, a week or so late, however showing up as confirmation on the next long term move.
A lesson every green energy producer must learn.

If you don’t understand the price action of the product, you will not last more than a few years in alternative energy or energy in general. This in large part because the powers that be, can wipe saw you to pieces, with the ups and downs of the PERCEIVED SUPPLY and demand, that makes up, energy trading.
Until you learn the trading action, NEVER TAKE A DIME from a single investor. YOU BOTH WILL GET BEAT.
The very reason old energy doesn’t care about green energy solutions. They know they can pick it up on less than it cost you to build it if you don’t understand the long term price action. Plan on trading for 15 years, then consider producing. Better yet, 25.
You don’t have to like the product, but you MUST RESPECT IT. This was, and has, NOT BEEN DONE, by most in bio based fuels. Add to the mix that what was produced is not truly green and it becomes easy to see WHY, MOST Who claim to understand investment in green fuel PRODUCTION, Don’t know their BUTT from their ELBOW.
Natural Gas is greener than most Alternative Energy Plays and YET, it is still regarded as FAR LESS THAN GREEN. The concern is directly related to drilling into the ground and doing anything that is not natural to the subsurface. Anything that might end up in the water table is regarded as a major risk and the clean burn aspect of natural gas will always be seen as less than ideal.
see both sides dealing with natural gas…

& here, where the real problems start to surface, to the point the ranchers are asking earthjustice for help…
http://earthjustice.org/features/coalbed-methane-in-the-powder-river-basin
What is always easy to see in each of these energy plays is moderation MUST factor into the overall equation or problems become the NORM.
IT HAS BEEN and ALWAYS WILL BE, OPERATIONS that proves up long term sustainable success in all energy solutions. OPERATIONS DEMAND moderation. They also demand REMEDIATION. If you don’t know REMEDIATION stay out of energy production and stay out of operations. YOU WILL ONLY FAIL, LONG TERM.
If you are in solar and wind and think, Natural gas will not play a major role in the future of energy, YOU ARE IN FOR A SLOW ROAD to NOWHERE, & SO are your INVESTORS.
The Green and Narrow Path MUST BE followed. Clean Biofuels 101

National Ag Bio Fuel Feedstock & Processing study.

if you’re not adding these details to the finished report, it will get slammed before it has a chance to get out of the office.
then, it might help to keep in mind feedstocks MUST BE LOCAL to processing.
Price Swing is directly related to regional supply and demand

The US has an Over Supply of oil at present. The rest of the world’s market is tighter, hence the supply and demand, PRICE SHIFT.
This may get wider with TIME as WE START TO INCREASE both BTL and GTL, US Domestic, see…
http://1eco.com/2011/01/31/biofuels-should-replace-m-e-imports/
As for SOUR and SWEET. Guess which refinery might get CLOSED over time? Which one gets FINED if it isn’t updated to CLEAN that SOUR.
Didn’t someone get HIT with a $700M upgrade settlement just the other day. Seems I read that somewhere. Numbers like that may not matter to Big Cap. When you’re a little independent those kind of numbers can make you a little less likely to put up with the SMELL. If you give TWO CENTS worth of attention to CLEAN GREEN SOLUTIONS you might begin to learn the difference in the two products.
I myself prefer this…
Natural Gas does play a part in this as it MIGHT play a part in GTL, or Power to reduce production costs associated with BTL or GTL.
By the way. Which country has the MOST GOLD?
Is it CHINA?
Is it Japan?
Who guessed Gold & Silver would go up as the price of the product went down here in the US, while at the same time going up everywhere else?
Who ever you are, IT would seem you just WON the short term prize.
The question becomes this? What does this do to the currency plays. It’s still a few WILD moves OUT as YET. Can you see IT? It is coming.
Biofuels should replace M.E. Imports
Posted by 2011wd in 2011 Power Report, Algae, BTL, Eco Trust Land Acq., Energy Conservation is JOB 1, Energy Policy, Green Cars, Green Cities, Green Design, Green Edu., Green Jobs, Green Lending, Green Sustainable Future, green transportation, GTL, integrate CAD/BIM/GIS, Progressive Leadership on January 31, 2011
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…
