        <![CDATA[<p>Not long ago, I was having a discussion with some friends about real estate when the focus drifted to Cape Cod housing prices, which had plunged in the 2007-2008 real estate collapse.

Most people tend to extrapolate the future from the past &hellip; and for most of our lives, real estate prices have gone up.</p> <p>Then up piped my brother-in-law the geologist, commenting, &ldquo;10,000 years ago Cape Cod wasn&rsquo;t there and in 10,000 years it&rsquo;ll be gone again.&rdquo;</p>]]>

      <title>Acorn Energy: The Best Clean Coal Company No One Has Ever Heard Of</title>

        <![CDATA[<p>I&rsquo;ve been following Acorn Energy (<a href='http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/acfn' title='More opinion and analysis of ACFN'>ACFN</a>) for over two years, mainly because of its 72% ownership stake in Coalogix Inc. (Coalogix technology explained <a href="http://bit.ly/19d74q">here</a>.) Coalogix has been growing revenue 120% yr/yr the past four years now with expansion funding coming from Acorn Energy and Enertech Capital. Coalogix won the 2008 Platts Global Energy Award for Commercial Technology of the Year.</p><p>As the CEO of Coalogix stated, this award is really the equivalent of the Academy Awards with this award being the most coveted. The company was up against 200 nominees in 22 countries, most of which were multi billion energy producers, refiners, laboratories etc. So what I&rsquo;m trying to say is this company is legit as it&rsquo;s not a small two man scientist crew based in some warehouse deep in China. Coalogix is based out of good ole Charlotte, NC on a multi hundred acre plot of land with a 117,000 sq ft facility. Growth drivers for Coalogix stem from current and/or impending regulations to improve air quality in the United States such as: NOx SIP Call, Clean Air Interstate Rule [CAIR], and the Clean Air Mercury Rule [CAMR].</p>]]>
