 "Love your work. Change your world."

Here's a good sign that we'll be seeing continued interest in the clean energy industry from the VC community...

Venture backers ofEuropean clean energy startups reaped a 55 percent annualized return on theirinvestments from 1998 to 2007, the London-based research group New EnergyFinance said Tuesday.

The analysis, whichwas commissioned by the European Energy Venture Fair to take place this weekendin Zurich, looked at returns earned by 37 venture capital and private equityinvestors in 129 early stage companies dealing in low-carbon technologies suchas renewable energy, fuel cells, power storage since 1998.

Re: Jeff St.John, 12/16/07 Fresno Bee article ‘Reality sets in on ethanol …
It was known for years that ethanol doesn’t work, so why they sell stock to investors? The replacement for bio-fuels is ‘Redeem Fuel, see No. 4 at www.motionmetrics.org.

Everybody should learn about electric cars as a solution. It’s amazing how far the technology has come. One of the main electric car companies, Zap, has delivered over 100,000 EV’s. (source: zapworld.com). EV’s cost 1 to 3 cents per mile to run, compare that to regular cars!

We can all learn something from what Al Gore had to say the past few weeks. Unless we become self reliant for our energy requirements, we will never again be an independent democratic nation.

We can start with a fundamental change in our driving habits that is now required.

The Automobile Industry is going to be in the same position as the Airline Industry in the next few months. Unless we get away from gas combustion vehicles, including Hybrids, the automobile industry (as we know it) will die.We need to make drastic moves. America needs to move to ELECTRIC. The vehicles are not as fast, not always as fun to drive, but the move will save Americans money (Billions) and help bring change to our automotive companies. Let's "Be Green"!!!!!!!!!!!! BG Automotive Group Ltd. has a car that will travel 80-100 miles per charge for $15,995. Finally a car that most Americans can afford. Did you know that 80% of all drivers, drive less than 50 miles per day? This new car will cost an equivalent of $0.20-0.25 cents/gallon (depending on electricity rates in your area). Why send $700 Billion per year to OPEC (now buying up U.S. companies) when we can use this money for our schools, health care, social security for all Americans, etc, etc, etc. We can make the difference if WE change.

I'm an inventor. I have a device that creates electric energy from tidal flow. We have a tested prototype that is up and running. It has produced 12 horsepower from a device that is 12'x7'..easily produced with the right people..anyone intersted?

Our technology is called "GMAX"
It is a device that produces electricity from tidal flow. Getting patented as we speak. This device produces 11 horsepower, and the prototype is working well.
GE wants it, but i got a feeling they are going to shelve the idea. I need like minded people to buck the trend and get this going,,fast. any info, email me-

Identity Theft Services

The DIY energy project is okay, but it's hardly competitive. Wind energy and solar energy doesn't give you as much power as you think it gives. Earth4Energy is okay - not great.
