The Solar Market: Horseshoes, Hand Grenandes and Demand Predictions

Germany is not likely to take their foot off the alternative accelerator in view of the sourcing of their energy. The same will apply to the rest of Europe when they come to their senses.

Opportunities in Energy Storage Stocks

Valuable contribution to us all, thank you. Hybrids increase your options and I have a particular 'bug' about concepts involving capacitance.

Solar Breaks Oil Price Dependence

jcordes, thank you. Cheerleaders, please take rana to heart for investing in, hopefully, fruitful enterprises.

Decoupling Of Physical Gold And Paper Gold Prices

For gold, more so than any other, the higher the price the more buyers. Folks whose fathers bought at $800 and rode it down to $300's, finally selling, will themselves spawn in higher pools yet. Only to rush down stream. It's a round trip play, at best, for most.

What Happened to Peak Oil?

"Floundering"? The market (national and global) has numerous (as in many many many) enterprises persuing significant alternatives. However, these alternatives will still be marginal contributors for some time. We still need to use fosil fuels while full speed ahead on green and some no so green solutions. This is not an either or situation, that is, outside the political nonesense, anyway.

False Data Clobbers the Markets

At least this Icarus soaring to the sun is a change up from the usual headlong dive into the photon deprived abyss of economic armageddon served up by most who post.

NBC Refuses Pickens Plan Ad

What government proposals, much less actions, have had a direct and overwhelming effect on the most recent trend in energy availability and pricing, or over the short term, or over the intermediate term, or over the long term?

The Economics of Political Spin

Where else would we have an article decrying 'spin' that itself wobbles like a top on parquet; whiners at MarketWatch, perhaps?

Solar Generation Costs on Track to Achieve Grid Parity

" Once parity is achieved, the price of coal and gas will be lowered dramatically so that the coal and gas companies don't lose customer share to green technologies." That's a bad thing? Begs the question "Is alternative energy competitive in all markets, some markets or none without political 'demand'?

Beacon Power: My Top Stock Pick for 2008

When and if the market is big enough to support a profitable company the low barrier of entry will admit much bigger players who likely will eat their lunch. This is a great sentiment trading vehicle, however.

Why $200 Oil Is Good for US Markets

Yes, we can also look forward to global warming, flooding with little to drink, plagues and starvation beyond imagining; several wars as well. Just look across the valley of death to the rise in the far distance. Cathartic, isn't it? Gosh, I'm nearly giddy with righteousness.

Natural Gas Fund Is Flaming Out

Thank you Ernie and Steve. Preserve us from pointless rondos of all too familiar carping.

Alvarion: Focus on the Big Picture

Don't expect to ever see Alvarion relevant to US market nor does anyone else that I've run across. As stated, this is a 3rd World play. Unfortunately, the overture has been of Wagnerian duration. I'm long a long time with a position too minscule to sell. As far as 'buzz', "It's always something."

Painful Surprises and Big Lessons with Precious Metals & Energy

The time to buy will be when GLD capitulates, when camp followers strike their tents.

Still No Inventory Reduction at GLD

Every market hits an air pocket. Unfortunately, this one is over a mountain peak.
