Cleantech, Optimism Squared and the Battery Industry

-Eestor is a scam (according to Cambridge University, electr. engineers etc.) Patent is flawed. They used a wrong formula. No prottoype. Mom and Pop operation in a shopping mall in Texas-

But John, the link you provided is RESEARCH. I dont see:
-price/mile.
-Range.
-Would I have to wait 8 hours at a charging station? (girlfriend wouldnt like)
-how would Big Government tax the juice in yur scenario?

Futher Blackrock, (BLK) evaluated. Contacted them. No dummies there.
Air France/KLM. No dummies there either.

Cleantech, Optimism Squared and the Battery Industry

Bad air.

Cleantech, Optimism Squared and the Battery Industry

Problem Big Government has with it is: you could fill these at home if you have an air compressor and say a wind mill/solar power on your property. AND HOW ARE THEY GOING TO TAX THAT?????
(You can see m thinking: Hmm how can we tax air, airtax, air air mmmm.)

So no major progress here..............just nice affordable tech that works fine but does'nt fit the larger picture at this time.
Untill there is,
a) a complete overhaul of tax code
b) revolution

BTW these are not 'concept cars'
Tested extensively over 15 years.
They are ready for market.
They'll go on sale this year in New zealand.
Lets all move there...

Cleantech, Optimism Squared and the Battery Industry

Anyhow had some spare time before U.S market opens.

Cleantech, Optimism Squared and the Battery Industry

I still don't get your main point. Lead batteries start the car. But automotive looks very weak (GM bankrupt etc.)
Do you expect lead acid batteries to power roadvehicles in the future?
Or do you simply expect growth in the industrial sector, in which these companies, the stocks you mention, do sales.

In cleantech, Blackrock (BLK), (13 trln $ in assets) invests in Riverbank, aquabattery. 15 GW of electric power storage in 15 strategic locations throughout the U.S. Making further rapid growth of windpower possible.
see: cleanbreak.ca/2009/03/...

KLM-Air France is investing in 3rd gen biofuels, testing engines.
For airport passenger transportation at Schiphol and Ch. de G Paris, they looked at many technologies, Li-ion, leadbattery electric powered vehicles, but decided on compressed air storage on cost benefits.
They are now testing little 'airpods' and other at the airport. Kind of neat. They can carry 4 people 135 miles, cruising at about 40 miles/hour. It uses a carbon fibre hightech air storage tank build by EADS. They can also add more tanks if more range is needed. 2 tanks=265 miles, 3 tanks=520 miles. Refilled in minutes
But the great thing is the cost.
A 100 mile trip only costs 60 $cents! (50 eurocents/100km)
Not like people cannot afford.
Refilled in minutes. There is a lot of windmills here, and the juice can be stored in the tank. by electr. compression.

I don't think technology is the problem.
People in power are.
They don't make refilling stations.....they make war.

U.S. Debt $10 Trillion and Counting - Frontline

But perhaps we should ask Dr. Kedrosky.
After all, he is the genius and I'm just another fool with a plan.

U.S. Debt $10 Trillion and Counting - Frontline

1. Well, I reread the reports that I had in mind when making the statement about increasing intelligence in successive generations. Regardless of what one thinks of the IQ test itself, these where numerous studies using the same tests, over long enough time frames -military drafts, schools etc.- here in Northern Europe as well as Asia. And all experts were unanimous: progression in ability to solve abstract problems. Anyhow, its obvious there has been progress since -say- the middle ages (dental care, hygiene, dieet education, industrialisation etc, etc)
Also people are living longer and longer in the future, making them more productive during their lifetime.

2. This is not a standard auction. The value of these assets are very sensitive to economic conditions and the idea is that these conditions will improve as price-clocks run backwards...because it solves the dysfunctional markets problem, as well as avoiding the impossible: to estimate the value of these assets beforehand.

Barron's Is Wrong: Solar Offers Good Value

So unless you know better than China industry insiders: a drop in polysilicon spot from $500 to $25 is already a 95% drop and rsi-silicon has started production in march (1000 mt ton from two 2MW carbothermic ovens) and will ramp up to 30000 mt. according to Ed Gunther.

The Cleantech Crunch Is On

lol

Barron's Is Wrong: Solar Offers Good Value

They are not crystalline silicon technologies.

Frankly, lack of differentiation in research on a fast tech sector -such as solar- points to a 'reactive' state of mind, to put it politely.
You are obviously one of those 'true solar believers'.
Fine.
But you need to know 'what's cookin' in the solar kitchen.

Take First Solar inc. (FSLR)
In addition to the Polyspot DLR (That's Chinese for drop-like-rock)
see: seekingalpha.com/artic...
It faces several other 'growing pains'. (see comment stream if you're interested.)

Philip Davis -top 5 watchlist- here, is short FSLR, "a trainwreck of a company". Phil is often early in these things, but sooner or later the hedgies will smell weakness in the business model.

Besides if you like solar, the extreme relative overvaluation of FSLR only hurts the undercapitalized c-si sector.

Barron's Is Wrong: Solar Offers Good Value

>'ENER and FSLR'
>'Offered solutions that used less polysilicon'

They don't use ANY polysilicon at all.

U.S. Debt $10 Trillion and Counting - Frontline

Lest we forget, this is an economy in wartime. The enemy is not smart by any definition, but numerous. At some point it will end with a peace dividend as Americans get tired of defending the 'world primary energy supply status quo'.

Also I think debt is overrated.
IQ test analysis over long time period shows each generation gets smarter and they will be in a better position to reduce it....
It could also be argued that many of them can enjoy the gift of life 'because' of the deficit.

I also believe the economy 'wants' to grow exponentially, but is at present simply 'held back' by energy inelasticities. (extreme volatility) caused by the war. At some point in time, venture capital will step in and solve this. eg.
algaelink.com
embedded.

As for all the 'toxic' stuff, just auction it all off inversely.
This is a system where all buyers have equal access to information of the underlying value, and it is auctioned off with the price very slowly reduced from book value, as time goes by. At some point greed sets in and someone will hit the buy button, at which point the 'price-clock' stops.
Has been used succesfully for centuries, in Northern Europe, to auction off goods which (slowly) degrade over time.
Then book the difference as debt.
Works everytime..
