Classic example of what we have been talking about for some time now.

Posted on August 23rd 2011.
It was never a question of, IF YOU CAN PRODUCE, MW’s of Power. The question is can you make a profit doing it.
This same thought can be expressed with Bio Fuels. It’s not if you can produce. It’s can you produce for a profit over time?
The current numbers given to many bio-fuel companies are based on current and project product and the associated REVS.
Our observation about those numbers. REV in Alternative Energy MEANS NOTHING.
What does matters is this. CAN YOU MAKE A PROFIT OVER TIME? If so, we are interested. Otherwise the Production and REV. Means Nothing to US, Unless…
You Are talking ADVANCED Fuels, PILOT SCALE, then we are open to the science.
Solar Observations provided by one source, that doesn’t sugar coat everything & is therefor worthy of reading.
Why Over Reaching is a major mistake in Alternatives.

If you are going to Over Reach, do it on your own damn dime. Do you know who the private money is behind this company? If you don’t, you don’t know the whole story.
IT was never about Hating Clean Energy. It is about beating your future competition before it even gets a chance to get off the ground. If you can’t see this, YOU’RE BLIND.
This just behind our last report on Solar, here…

These funding mistakes only set everything back time and time again. Why models can’t be proven before money is invested is beyond us. If you can’t make the numbers work on a small scale, what makes you think you can make them work on a larger scale with VAST learning curves to be worked out in both design and operations. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
ENERGY POLICY makes many wish they knew what they were doing. WHO IS RUNNING THIS DOG AND PONY SHOW? These, no doubt, The same people wanting to give old energy designs more MONEY? MISGUIDED at best. LOST? For the last 50 years. Nothing more than the revolving door, from so called public service back to old energy. DAMAGE DONE. So called Green Leaders PLAYED, or ALLOWING THE PLAY. WHO FUNDED THIS DOG? LOOK AT THE PRIVATE MONEY.
An 82% drop in the price & NO ONE ESTIMATED THAT. NO EXPERT ESTIMATED THAT. This is the very reason we will never call ourselves EXPERTS. WE COULD SEE IT COMING A MILE AWAY. IF YOU DON’T KNOW OLD ENERGY MARKETS & SUPPLY & DEMAND, LOOK OUT BELOW.
Why Solar goes much lower still. The same reason the Sector High was NUTS

Every alternative is only as strong as the old energy feedstock PRICING ACTION under the surface. This all a part of the WHEN OF IT.
AS reported when the highs were here. You sell the highs and buy the lows. We still go lower here. To be sure the M.M. while yank it for all it’s worth, but that is just because they can. Playing off the backs of retailers. Don’t let them play you.
In the end it will come back to inventory levels, supply and demand, & pricing action of old energy feedstocks. Most seem to forget natural gas. Big mistake. HUGE. They also forget GTL, or gas to liquids. Another massive mistake. Keep in mind most of the gas is shut in, meaning it is seen and regarded as worthless. Nothing could be more wrong. GTL plays a very big part of the U.S. domestic energy future regardless. If it is closed looped as it no doubt will be at some point soon, the game changes. Waste to Energy soon comes into the mix. Water and Waste Treatment will always be a KEY part of the overall green sustainable future, IF you build it into your BIM/CAD designs from the very start. AS you do, you will see the value of GTL. This does not mean solar will not have it’s place. It simply means inventory levels must come down. How low do they go?
How far is the price of the product going to fall? Go ask the M.M. They are the guys who have been playing the energy trading scam from the start.
Finally the FED gets it RIGHT. FINALLY

The question becomes how long with that last. If they stick to their guns, we might begin to see the value levels that are real relative to current market conditions. Once there, we might begin to rebuild from the base valuations which have been hidden by past FED ACTION.
MAYBE JUST MAYBE, we might begin to build a new alternative energy sustainable future, when they learn to stay out of the way.
We shall see.
As for us, We ARE READY.
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.
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…

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.
Will Distributed Solar Drive Utilities into Bankruptcy?

We do not address the residential side of power however if the price to install does come down we might in the future. Why pay higher prices now if you know the price of install will come down. Makes no sense.
Commercial is another matter. A very big matter.
As this question is extremely important we will address the public ECO ASPECTS. BACT will not do with regard to retrofit, however much you are SOLD on the idea. If you are not reworking old energy designs with LAER standards, you are simply kicking the can down a very short road. When you look at Utility Value WATCH OUT FOR poor clean up designs which might be approved very recently. Those retrofit expenses do NOT produce Green Sustainable Eco Standards in our view. NOT BY A LONG SHOT.
The Power Sector is a vital part of our work and our detailed answers are private and very much a part of our research reports which are private user access only. There is a great deal here that has been overlooked. Current Case in point, showing recently approved rework addressed in private reporting details.
Here comes the Sun! Once again Solar must be considered.
Posted by 2011wd in 2010 Energy Report, Solar, Solar Companies, TES, TES Thermal Energy Storage on December 20, 2010
Since current private events are leading us to consider alternative feedstock options, SOLAR will always receive major consideration. Most of our research is private and only secured with the help of a business development services contract however there is much we will be able to share in the public forum with regard to public companies and their latest leading edge commercial POWER applications. If you are not interested in large scale projects this will not be the thread for you. If, however you are interested, we want to talk to you.
We will be contacting every current and former officer of every public and many private solar companies to see first hand what they might have to offer in today’s POWER PRODUCTION MARKET. This now in relation to an advancement in our former buying plans, see….
The revised and updated version of that article is private however we are able to say rather than buy old energy properties, we are now exploring building new. Only after our solar report is done with that take place. Much research has already been done in this regard however we have yet to talk to each lead officer, which must be done. That updated report will be held as private and limited only to officers, bus. dev. working partners, & our angel network which is also private. That total private green bus. dev. network is over 2000 and growing by the day. Our first choice partners are pension funds, as such we regard this research to be extremely important. WE ARE SHIFTING AS WE ARE ABLE TO NEW & MORE ATTRACTIVE CLEAN FEEDSTOCK sources and this is done because it NOW seems the only logical thing to do. As the price tag for old energy designs has increased we will simply build NEW.
A recent VC 2010 point of reference to review..
Very little, if any, of the $Bs of VC $ put into solar have yielded the type of results that VCs look for. Just about the time others give up something new comes along. It is the next generation we are most interested in advancing.
