A Very Smart Plan for Federal Smart Grid Grants

A little off topic, but I wonder if anyone else noticed the news from China yesterday. They intend to have 100 GW of wind power by 2020.
All in all, it bodes well for the clean energy sector.
And it should mean more battery demand.

By virtue of sheer dumb luck, I happended to pick up some shares of APWR yesterday, which besides the China wind story, had some good news of it's own today, with a new $75 million contract for cogeneration. The stock was up 18% today.

"A great example of the diversity of potential applications is a new partnership that Envision Solar and Bright Automotive announced today at a capitol hill press conference. They're planning a nationwide network of solar powered charging stations for PHEVs that will use Axion's batteries for the storage function."

There was also some news about coming up with a common plug design for EVs and PHEVs to connect to 440 volt quick charging stations.

I was just reading an article on Enersys at Zacks. The ENS spokesman said they were interested in aquisitions. Are you at all afraid that an Enersys would try to buy out Axion? Or have they set up lots of barriers to that?

These Insiders Are Buying During This Selloff

Your answer is absurd. Here is the truth. Reaganomics doesn't work. It hasn't worked for 80% of Americans for the past 25 years or more. Deregulating everything under the sun doesn't work. After the savings and loan debacle, the housing debacle and the banking and Wall St debacle, that much is clear. Don't forget that we still
basically had Reaganomics under Clinton, even though he did produce a surplus.

According to a study by the Pew Foundation, between 1983 and 2004 the top 20% in income got 89% of the economic growth. The top 1% got 33% and the next 4% got over 25% of the growth. The other 80% of us collectively got only 11% of the growth. Baby boomers make 12% less than their fathers made in real buying power. We now have the worst distribution of wealth in the industrialized world, with the exceptions of Mexico and Russia, and the worst since 1929. All because of Reaganomics. All of the $10 trillion or so of federal deficit came under the last three Republican presidents.
Blaming the democrats is totally dishonest.
