Alternative Energy Storage Stocks: Review and Outlook

I'm rooting for axpw, as well as beacon, abat and altair and on and on.

It would be virtually impossible for all of them enmass to make the kind of changes to our needs that I can see occurring within the next 3 years. But everything will help. What is not economically feasible now, might be 18 months from now. So Now would be a better place to start. IMO

Alternative Energy Storage Stocks: Review and Outlook

Altair has already received a naval contract for UPS type battery development for destroyers.

John, you know my preferences, ALTI and ABAT, but I still continue to follow AXPW on a technical basis for you.

Have a happy...

Alternative Energy Storage: It's All About Price vs. Performance

The world is experiencing a slowdown at best and a growing possibly deep Recession at worst, So Far.

This translates into a drastic reduction in CO2 emmissions, involuntary but there nonetheless. This drastic reduction has already wreaked havoc across the US and I personally expect more of the same for the rest of the winter.

The 70's theories regarding the Coming Ice Age are as plausible as are current Global Warming theories.

Eliminate Greenhouse Gases, yippi ki ay, the end result would be an Ice Ball devoid of life.

Whatever is done has to be done uniformally across the Globe, efforts should be coordinated. Each nation going its own merry way could affect the weather around the planet, especially when dealing with nations the size of China and India.

The Movie, The Day After Tommorow shows a mammoth frozen in the process of eating. This is real, one was actually found in this state.

Whatever is done has to be done slowly. IMO

Other countries will go all electric, ours has too many jobs tied to the present auto manufacturing configuration to be approved.

Better take delivery of the certificate, thats the only way you can keep any of it once its gone. After that its one on one against profits or $3k worth of reduction annually. But you still have the certificate. I still have some TWA warrant certificates from the 1970's.

Display Port technology on the way for your laptop, External powerful Graphics by AMD for CAD on your laptop or the latest games, whichever.

Already announced, yadda yadda.

I don't know what it brings to AMD for its future, but believe Intel has a challenge here.

Finally found your comment on AXPW's lead content, back in August you said that they had managed to reduce the amount of lead by 40%. Any change from that level, that you know of?

Alternative Energy Storage: Lithium, Lead or Both?

Think in terms of hundreds of millions of new cell phones produced every year, the amount used per item is small. The number of items are immense. With new uses introduced which use far greater amounts, cars, one really must be sure that supply meets demand before usage.

Think in terms of what happened to all of those that thought Betamax would be the standard VCR format.

Alternative Energy Storage: Lithium, Lead or Both?

To hell in handbasket. I hate to say it but I'm beginning to believe that this Fiasco is turning into the death knell of the US financial system. The wrong idiot is in the driver's seat.

I don't know who made Paulson King. 3 Month LIBOR was approaching 2.0 stopped going down and reversed the day after Paulson did a 180, inching up 2 days in a row. If it accelerates to the upside, it will be a no confidence vote.

Meanwhile, GM has the makings of a catalyst for the market as a whole. I was starting to look at Tax Free Municipals but will wait.(MAV)

The best thing about the Asian Economies is the huge savings rate amongst the people. They have trading surpluses. The Government has zilch as collateral and our people have been pushed/pulled and otherwise advertized to such any extent that they do not have nest eggs to withstand a prolonged recession.

I have been and remain a Bear, but I have always felt that given a year or two, I could turn into a Raging Bull.
Now I'm not so sure. Frankly, my outlook has turned so grim that I'm really scared. I do not see any positive sectors anywhere, including Gold. Its like 1987 revisited but with no end to it.

ABAT is a Chinese company which makes Lithium based Batteries in China. About a year before the olympics, they contracted for the production of 3,000 all electric buses based on the Tech licensed from ALTI. I don't know what the final count was but do know they were initially producing 200/month.

IMHO, China will export only what it doesn't need itself.
ABAT batteries are widely accepted as the Battery of Choice by Chinese consumers and has received awards for same. The lights in the helmets of Chinese Coal Miners are powered by ABAT batteries.

Ditto on electric bycycles with contracts with Chinese bycycle makers. Need a battery which continues to power equipment Miles beneath an ocean's surface, you go to ABAT. Trial runs already completed, no other Battery need apply.

This is old historical news, some 2-3 years old.

These ABAT products are available now, in China. It is also the battery of choice for cell phones. ABAT's exposure in the US is virtually nil. Rabbit stew if the Bunny enters China, Rabbit shish kebab if ABAT enters the US in force.

The People's Daily online is a much bettter source of info than anything I get from Western Media inre China.

Did you know they are building their own Commercial Aircraft Design and Manufacturing Facility. They want to supply their future needs internally. Anyone believing Boeing has a bright long future in China better think again.

Ok. John, I assume you still have contacts at AXPW.

Some time ago we talked strictly about lead content, Why Not get on the Bandwagon, have their PR people advertize AXPW's products as a means of dramatically reducing the amount of lead floating around the system with the added benefits that AXPW products provide.

Who knows, you might even get some of the Green sites to push it if the beneficial reduction in the amount of Lead use is marketed properly.

PS I do not own AXPW, it has to go sideways for a while longer but its latest Qtr was much better than I had expected it to be.

Jeff, Zenn Motors has a licence from EEstor Inc which is private for one type of UltraCapacitor technology. I had not heard that they had progressed to prototype status, but then, I stopped paying sttention to ZNNMF when it dropped below $2.00.

Alternative Energy Storage: Lithium, Lead or Both?

I'm an early investor in ZNNMF, around $4.5, too bad I didn't stick by my own principles of waiting for proof before the pudding.

Do either of the two stocks you mention trade publically?

Western Uranium and Lithium.

Rising Tides in Alternative Energy Storage

One other thing, all of the EVs will do considerable damage to the present auto and auto parts industries. Tens of thousands of jobs will disappear. Instead of an engine with all of its tubing you will have batteries. Where pipes led to exhaust and mufflers once played a part, there will be nothing but wires leading from the battery. Pistons, spark plugs, gone. Thousands of mechanics bye, bye.

This technology is being viewed as a way to eliminate oil dependance. It will do that. It will also be very painful to those who lose their jobs as a result.

As a toy for the pretty people and as dream for the future, EV cars are being embraced by everyone who hasn't thought through to the pain that will occur.

John doesn't go out of his way to knock stocks without reason. If he sees a problem, he will voice an opinion. Its not difficult to get a handle on the companies out there, when someone like John proffers a list which expands.

Some will ask questions about companies like VRB, I certainly wouldn't have bothered with a 2 cent stock if it had been mentioned elsewhere. I did not go for it, others might.

What would really be considerate when introducing a company not on the list is a stock symbol to go along with it. Just my opinion.
