S&P 500: Stymied Rally for Now

Looks like we're now bouncing off the head off a inverse head and shoulders pattern with only the left shoulder and head currently showing, thus one would expect this rally to reach the neckline.

Black Swans and Greenwashing Solar and Wind

This article is crap! You wasted my time. Shame on you.

Recent Announcements Will Spark Electric Car Sales

I'd rather plug in than use a gas pump and I'd rather get 150 mpg than 20mpg...... oil is dead, solar is here...... finally.

Restarting Baidu

It's at long term support again, it's a pretty safe bet price will hold here.

Six Reasons for Cloudy Skies on the Solar Energy Industry

Oil is rarely used to produce electricity, so why you and others keep comparing solar's price to oil's price is beyond me. Solar is an alternative to wind, nuclear and geothermal, but rarely for oil.

I support the alternatives because it's "clean" and that's the direction we must be headed to save this planet from the devastating affects of global warming.

The Sun Is Not Also Rising Over Solar Stocks

"Most experts expect the U.S. to become th No. 1 solar nation in the next decade, says Julia Hamm, executive director of the Solar Electric Power Association.

Mid-Year Report: Is a Summer Turn-around Still Possible?

Fight big oil: get out of your car and use a bicycle, a public bus or train! Geez, you act like you're a slave to oil and you're not unless you're just brainwashed that you are!

And You Think Today's Gas Prices Are High?

Except you should factor in the Trillion dollars we will spend in Iraq, the massive 14 billion in tax breaks and subsidies for the oil and gas industries last year, the air pollution it causes and the harm it will do and is doing with regard to global warming. Oil may be cheap but not all the costs of it are factored into it. Compare that to solar power, no harmful emmissions, no air pollution, no global warming issues, and it's an essentially free source of energy. Level the playing field, tax the carbon load the oil industry is producing and wind, solar and geothermal will come out way ahead by comparison! By the way, cars can and will be powered by the sun in the future, not by oil.... oil's days are numbered.

LDK Solar: The Brightest Opportunity?

Great and thorough analysis, I'm convinced to buy even more stock. I believe in alternative energy.

Is Oil a Bubble? Part 3

You'r 90% figures is incorrect. We use 30% for transportation, 30% for food production and then 30% for plastics, chemicals, including fertalizers. We don't need to only use hydro-carbons to make electricity, the biggest nuclear reactor of all is above us giving it to us for free, just look up. Thermal energy can be accessed from below. The world supply is on the decline while demand is exploding. Oil is not in the future and the transition off of it will take place and it's going to be painful at first but Germany has set a good example; already past 20% renewable energy produced from the sun.... going for 30% now. That's the kind of leadership we need in the USA.

Is Oil a Bubble? Part 3

USA is using 25 million barrels/day of oil, what if 30% of that energy didn't have to be from oil but from solar power instead? Well, Germany is almost there. They already attained their target of 20% and are not going for 30%. Oil is limited, solar is not... it's that simple. Uneven global heating creates wind patterns.... that's free if you'll just tap it. Cars could be made to run on electricity. Isreal is adopting an interesting approach where by you buy a car and rent the battery. You'll just swap out your low battery for a fully charged battery. A company, ALTI, makes fast charging batteries. There is huge geothermal resource sitting right under Yellowstone Park, that's essentially free heat --> steam --> electricity. Huge water flow & tidal forces are at play in places like the Hudson River and the like, not to mention the Golden Gate. In addition, skys-crappers could tap into strong wind for power. OCTL.OB has a nano solar product to coat windows so that they make solar energy. The technology is out there but what we lack is imagination and adequate leadership. Why didn't Bush want to sign that energy bill that would have required energy companies to produce just 20% of their energy from renewable sources by 2020? Because he is only pro-oil and has no vision for this country, instead now we're in a crisis state. Adding 1 million barrels/day from Alaska won't really solve our problems if we're using 25 per day, it will help only somewhat... Sugar cane is 10x more effective as corn in making ethanol, the Brazilians know that, why don't we? As for me, I'm using my bicycle 95% of the time and in my next long trip I'm taking a bus and train.
