January 22, 2009 - Obamarsquo;s inauguration this week signals a change in the level of support that the alternative energy and clean tech sectors will get in Washington, and other world leaders know it. This week at the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabu UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change chairman Rajendra Pachauri said he expects the U.S. position on climate change at Decemberrsquo;s meeting in Copenhagen will be critical and will set the tone. Bush never took a lead role. That being said, attention to climate change issues has never been greater on a global scale because countries, all facing economic erosion on an unprecedented level, are all moving to a strategy which effectively kills two birds with one stone: infrastructure investment and investment in green technologies as a primary catalyst for stimulating their own economies. Obamarsquo;s $800 billion fiscal stimulus package is no different. nbsp; The United Nations ...

nbsp;nbsp;January 15, 2009 - More than half of all electrical energy consumed in the United States is used by electric motors. So improving efficiency for electric motors is one of the most basic and fundamental ways that businesses, consumers and the government can save energy, reduce operating costs and improve productivity.There are multiple approaches to doing this: making more efficient motors is an obvious one. But in many cases, motor inefficiency is a consequence of the load which the motors are powering. Cases where motors have to have enough power to drive a load at full capacity but where the load is, in fact, often light. These are some of the most frequent cases of motor inefficiency.One company that that is addressing this market is Power Efficiency (OTCBB: PEFF ), which has developed technologies which result in up to 40% savings to client firms in the industrial markets and has ...

Along with records revenues, WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp (WWAT) also reported a gross loss in the third quarter, ending Sept. 30. WorldWater reported a $2.3 million gross loss for the quarter. Offsetting that news was a significant increase in revenues to $6.5 million compared with $4.4 million over the same time last year. Installations for the Valley Center Municipal Water District of Valley Center, California and a Denver International Airport project were the two biggest contributions of that revenue.

The gross loss in 2008 was primarily the result of a solar project for the town of Windsor, Calif. that was terminated in September. “After many months of effort, securing financing for the Windsor project with terms acceptable to the company, was not achieved and the financing contingency of the agreement was invoked,” a company news release said.

“We are in the process of building the engineering, design, manufacturing, project management,

A new market is one where a company can follow the herd or look for new and potentially profitable ways to take advantage of it. The easy way is to work within the more conventional end-use applications. The more difficult way is to step back, look for a need to fill within the market, and go after filling that need. This is the way to beat other companies to the punch and thereby profit by it.
