What do Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO), IBM (NYSE: IBM), AT&T (NYSE: T) and Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) all have in common?

The obvious answer is that they’re four of the most successful technology companies on the planet.

But they’re also heavily involved in the modernization plans for America’s “Smart Grid” – a topic I introduced in a previous column.

Make no mistake, with a decade-long project as monumental as modernizing the country’s “Smart Grid,” the devil is truly in the details. And the Commerce Department released the finer details of the initiative last week.

Until now, one of the big problems with the “Smart Grid” was the lack of set standards. Without them, each power company would be free to do as it pleases, resulting in a hodge-podge of small grids that, in all likelihood, wouldn’t work together.

To put this in perspective, just imagine how well

Four ETFs Profiting From Green Energy

Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team

It doesn’t take an genius to see the writing on the wall for green energy.

Governments around the globe from the United States to Europe to China are clearing the way for investors to make some “green” while investing in green-energy technologies.

Clean energy technology has been a universal component of government stimulus packages around the globe. Here in the United States, President Obama continues to focus the spotlight on clean energy with many visits to such projects around the country. Over $100 billion from the administration’s stimulus package has been designated for the advancement of clean energy technologies.

Congress is currently trying to cobble together perhaps the most far-reaching climate and energy legislation ever. The legislation would not only initiate a “cap and

Last week, I spent a full day in a seminar on climate change. It was a totally sober and professional seminar, sponsored by a group that specializes in continuing legal education for attorneys. I heard talks by a variety of lawyers, academics and regulators, mostly about how “the train has left the station” on climate change and carbon regulation. And wow… has that train ever steamed out. But did you ever hear the conductor call, “All Aboard?” This is a critical matter and here’s the takeaway point: We’re about to see an UTTER TRANSFORMATION of the U.S. economy.

Your life will be regulated — directly and surely indirectly — by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mostly through its powers under the Clean Air Act (CAA). And the parts of your life not regulated by EPA will fall under the jurisdiction of your friendly state or provincial environmental authorities. Many of the

In the last couple of years, much focus has been made about rising energy costs. The fluctuations in the price of coal, oil, and gas have turned many American’s thoughts on how to reduce their daily consumption of energy. The issue is not exclusive to the United States. Worldwide consumption of power is at an all-time high. Axial Vector Motors Corporation (AVXV.PK) has a line of high-power coreless electric generators that can increase the amount of power available to end-users.

Studies have shown that at least 50% of the electricity produced worldwide is consumed by inefficient electric motors. In China more than half of the electricity is used by electric motors. China currently produces more than 40GW of motors of which 90% are 0.55kW to 200kW three-phase motors. The motor systems built in China are vastly less efficient than those built in the United

I'm surprised by the indiscriminate selling in commodities and commodity-related stocks.

Were there bubbles? Yes, but demand remains high and product shortages continue to exist.

For example, erratic deliveries of steel have caused an acquaintance of mine to put his employees on flexible work schedules. According to him, steel mills are not sticking to regular production schedules of the type of metal used for the packaging products that his company manufactures.

Not surprisingly, his customers are unhappy. But, because they lack a cost-effective alternative, they have no choice but to accept the higher prices and irregular production schedules.

Then there is fertilizer. Employees of fertilizer company Potash (POT) are on strike at a time when there continues to be a shortage of potash - a key ingredient for fertilizer. The company told Standard & Poor's that the strike should only affect non-agricultural customers. That may not sound like a
