“Searching” for the Best in Green Cars
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – July 2, 2007 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading global investor and industry portal for the renewable energy sector, reports on developments in green cars and how the top three search engines, Yahoo!, Google and MSN are helping to educate consumers and promote change and innovation in the automotive sector. As Tech sector leaders Bill Gates and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page play a leading role in investing in and deploying Greentech, they are also a driving force in changing the highways of the future.
As consumers browse the new MSN Autos Green Central they can utilize the green information center to read green car news, editorial reviews, fuel-saving ideas and see what autos are currently rated as the top 5 green vehicles. (http://editorial.autos.msn.com/specials/green/default.aspx)
Yahoo! Autos launched the Yahoo! Autos Green Center in November 2006 http://autos.yahoo.com/green_center/ and has built a strong online following in the green space as consumers visit the site to view the top 100 Green Cars and research developments in hybrids, biofuel, electric and green autos. In announcing the launch, Yahoo! Autos reported, “According to a Yahoo! survey, one in every two people is interested in learning more about alternative fuel vehicles, which signals clear consumer demand for a product like the Green Center."
Yahoo! Autos, in partnership with Environmental Defense, developed a Green Rating determining the environmental impact of vehicles on a scale of 1-100. The Green Rating is based on tailpipe pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, fuel economy and the manufacturing process, giving consumers the overall environmental friendliness of the autos on the list.
“The Green Center on Yahoo! Autos provides our users with the most comprehensive expert and social media content covering alternative fuel vehicles,” said Michael Yang, Vice President and General Manager, Yahoo! Autos. He adds, “Whether you’re searching for the top green rated vehicles or you want to connect with an online community of like-minded vehicle shoppers, the Green Center is home to the most relevant information impacting consumers today.”
Google’s mantra “Do No Harm” has taken on new dimensions as Google proactively promotes green auto initiatives through Google.org, its philanthropic arm. Google.org recently announced its RechargeIT initiative (www.google.org/recharge/) dedicated to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and oil dependence by helping to fund and bring plug-in hybrid electric vehicles to consumer markets.
Dr. Larry Brilliant, Executive Director of Google.org tells us, "Google is committed to using its resources to help solve the global climate challenge. Google.org is hybrid philanthropy, bringing together the active engagement of the broader Google Corporation, as well as investments in for-profits, traditional grants, policy work, and public information. RechargeIT brings together all of these elements to help accelerate progress on plug-ins. By demonstrating new clean energy technologies and how they can be connected to the grid, we hope to spur demand and encourage car manufacturers to make these vehicles commercially available on a large scale on an urgent basis."
Kirsten Olsen, program lead for the RechargeIT project stated, "At Google.org, we are committed to finding solutions that can dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions and offer alternatives to fossil fuels. We see plug-in hybrids and vehicle-to-grid applications as a significant step in greening the transportation sector and helping to mitigate global warming."
As consumers turn to the online information highways to research choices in alternative fuels, green car news, technology developments and current green auto ratings, the “Big Three” in search engines are enabling and empowering online users to make informed environmentally conscious decisions.

InvestorIdeas.com Investor Podcast “Shrewd Speculators” Provide Commentary on Investment Opportunities in Solar IPO’s and the Solar Chinese Markets
Tapping into the Long Term Potential of Solar Stocks As solar stocks experience volatility, the Shrewd Speculators discuss solar companies including Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE), SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR), Suntech Power Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP) and others. Kevin Sylla discusses how the market and investors had to absorb the supply of multiple new entries into the market within a short period of time and as a result investors have not fully digested the potential. He feels investors may want to see the market mature as technologies improve. As Eric Axel comments, “The demand for solar power is extremely robust … but there may be too many investment vehicles to choose from for retail investors”. He went on to say- “I think this is the right sector to be in, but investors have to pick and choose and be patient.” To listen to the full Investor Podcast, as well as previous discussions by our Shrewd Speculators, please visit: www.investorideas.com/Podcasts/sspodcast.xml The audience is invited to submit questions to the Shrewd Speculators for response in future podcasts.

Electric Vehicle Manufacturer ZAP, (OTCBB: ZAAP) Showcases New Wall Street Mantra “Green is Good” in New Online Green Ads
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – JUNE 14, 2007 http://www.investorideas.com/, and its global investor and industry Greentech portals including RenewableEnergyStocks.com, showcase featured public company, electric transportation pioneer ZAP (OTC BB: ZAAP) in new Green Ads branding a new Wall Street Mantra “Green is Good.” The new Green ads reflect the global shift in the financial industry that created a cult-like following to movie character Gordon Gekko’s “Greed is Good” speech in the 80s.
As Corporate America goes green, from Disney’s recent environmentally friendly changes at its theme park to Advertising Age magazine naming top “Eco-marketers” at its first Green Conference in New York City, it appears that this time the shift to eco-friendly business is not just a trend or merely a PR campaign, but a real and dramatic change in global corporate ethics.
Green and environmental companies like ZAP (See right side bar of RenewableEnergyStocks.com for ZAP Green Ad) are gaining consumer confidence and interest as the growing green and ethical consumerism trends are fuelled by high gas prices going into the summer driving season.
ZAP, gaining recognition in the marketplace, has also recently received substantial media coverage for its current line of affordable electric cars, priced in the $10,000 range. Next in line for the electric car manufacturer, ZAP is also working with Lotus Engineering to create the ZAP-X performance cars with an advanced battery system to enable the car to travel up to 350 miles between charges.
The new green ads are formatted in the color green, have a text link with “Green Ad” above the ad and the phrase “Green is Good” embedded into the bottom of the ad in green text. Public and private companies can easily be identified in the marketplace as a green or environmental brand to the growing number of ethical and green investors and consumers.

InvestorIdeas.com Green Investor Portals -- Consumer Choices in Green Cars; Hybrids, Electric, Biofuels and Fuel Cells
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC May 14, 2007 - InvestorIdeas.com green investor portals report on choices and trends in green cars including Hybrids, Electric, Biofuels, and Fuel Cell cars. As green and ethical consumerism grows to become a global phenomenon, InvestorIdeas.com discusses options and choices available and underway posing the question -- Are there enough choices and incentives to create the shift? Electric Car Manufacturer ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) and R.L. Evans, Director Clean Energy Research Centre, University of British Columbia, help to provide insight into the highways of the future.
At the recent Hydrogen & Fuel Cells 2007Conference held in Vancouver, B.C., Bill Reinert, National Manager TMS Advanced Technologies Group, Toyota Motor Company discussed that, "By 2040, based on the current growth, there will be 2-3 billion cars on the road, up from current numbers of 1 billion, creating environmental problems 4 to 5 times of what they are today." The projected numbers of population and vehicle growth provide compelling motivation for change.
Consumers looking for green and environmentally friendly automotive choices available in the market today can visit Yahoo! Autos Green Rating and search the Top 100 Cars by Green Rating, developed in consultation with Environmental Defense (http://www.environmentaldefense.org). Users can browse through available options in Hybrid - Electric cars, Ethanol cars, Diesel - Biodiesel cars, Natural Gas cars and fuel efficient cars. The rating measures the vehicle's environmental friendliness from 1 to 100 with the higher a vehicle's Green Rating, the "greener" it is and the lower its harm to both human health and the planet.
For consumers looking at electric cars, industry players ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) and GM with the GM Volt offer both performance and efficiency in the near future.
ZAP, who has been in the electric car market since 1994, has a full line of competitively priced electric vehicles from A to Z ranging from electric scooters, electric ATVs and electric cars and trucks. ZAP is also working with Lotus Engineering to create the ZAP-X (http://www.zapworld.com/ZAPWorld.aspx?id=4560) utilizing the award-winning APX lightweight aluminium architecture design to achieve unprecedented levels of performance and utility for electric cars. An advanced battery system will enable the car to travel a range up to 350 miles between charges, with a rapid charge technology that can recharge the batteries in as little as 10 minutes.
"Thanks to the support our shareholders, with the only series city class electric car in production, ZAP is now uniquely positioned to maximize the current demand due to rising gas prices and concerns of global warming. Priced at around $10,000, electric cars can now not only save the environment, they can save you money," commented ZAP's Chairman of the Board, Gary Starr.
GM's Chevrolet Volt, unveiled at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, is anticipated to hit the roads by 2010. The Volt is projected to have a charge time of 6.5 hours featuring 40 miles on just the battery alone with a 640 mile range on a full tank of gas. GM is also offering a green mix of automotive choices with E85 vehicles, Hybrids and is working on Fuel Cell Cars for the future.
In a white paper presented at a joint ASME and ATI meeting in Milan last year titled "HYDROGEN ECONOMY OR ELECTRICITY ECONOMY?" R.L. Evans, Director Clean Energy Research Centre, the University of British Columbia offers his vision of the roads of the future in his Transportation Case Study.
Excerpt from Paper:
"The successful development and introduction into the marketplace of the 'Plug-in hybrid vehicle' would mark the beginnings of a significant new transportation Paradigm, eliminating the need for road vehicles to use petroleum fuels, at least for the Majority of miles traveled. If electricity were to be generated primarily from sustainable Primary energy sources, then road transportation would also become sustainable and would result in an 'Electricity Economy', rather than a 'Hydrogen Economy'.
"Much of the development work on batteries has been driven by the successful introduction in the last few years of hybrid electric vehicles (or HEV's). Hybrid vehicles have been very successfully introduced into the market, initially in compact cars, but the technology is now spreading to larger cars and sport utility vehicles where the benefit of much greater fuel economy will be particularly welcome."
Consumers can catch up on what is available in new Hybrids for 2007 by visiting the Government web site FuelEconomy.Gov -- http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/hybrid_news.shtml. The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid currently being promoted offers additional features such as a 12 percent reduction in noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels inside the vehicle and has seating surfaces made from 100 percent post-industrial materials.
Luxury auto manufactures see the need to offer performance as well as address environmental concerns and there are several available and in the pipeline for brand conscious consumers. Mercedes-Benz's Bluetec system in a new line of diesel-engines reduces emissions but offer drivers 700+ miles on a single tank of gas. BMW has turned green with the new Hydrogen 7, but it is not currently available to the general public.
In addition to the work with ZAP and the electric cars, Lotus has entered the biofuels market with the Lotus Exige 265E running on E85 with a 264 horsepower with 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds -- no compromise for going green. Biofuels, while offering a green alternative however are projected to never be able to meet the capacity of the growing global auto market.

Peter Lynch will also be one of the featured speakers at the upcoming conference: “Investing in the Environment: Global Warming, Global Warning – Investing Today for Tomorrow’s Future”, with a look at opportunities within the solar market.
J. Peter Lynch has worked, for 28 years as a Wall Street analyst, an independent equity analyst and a private investor in small emerging technology companies. According to Lynch, German solar stocks opened 2007 with the average stock gaining 41.39% and U.S. listed solar stocks averaged a 10% gain over the 5 to 6 week period
Column Excerpt
By J. Peter Lynch, ‘Renewable and Solar Energy Perspectives’ www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
With all the talk worldwide about Global Warning and the current (finally) scientific consensus that “more than likely” mankind is a significant contributor to Global Warming, some people may have missed another area that was rapidly heating up – Solar Stocks !
Solar stocks opened 2007 with very strong upward movements after peaking in May of 2006 and then bottoming in late summer of 2006. German stocks opened 2007 with the average stock gaining 41.39%; over 12 FOLD greater when compared to the German STOXX gain of 3.4%. Keep in mind that this is only over a period of 5 to 6 weeks.

Green Products and Services Gain Support as Issues of Global Warming and Environmental Contamination Escalate
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C., January 24, 2007 - www.EnvironmentStocks.com (ES) an investor and industry news portal for the cleantech sector, reports on the growing movement towards ‘green’ products and services that are rapidly becoming a key component of the building industry. With global awareness improving through political support, media coverage, and overall education, the rising popularity of environmentally safe products and materials have received a boost, creating opportunities for sector participants such as International Barrier Technology Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF; TSXV: IBH), manufacturer of environmentally friendly fire resistant building materials.
Buildings have a significant impact on our environment and our economy, which is why there is growing support for improving processes to reduce waste and costs, improve efficiency, promote better health and reduce the effect on the environment. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, buildings in the United States account for 65% of electricity consumption, 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and 30% of raw materials use. Buildings also consume 12% of potable water and produce 30% of waste output.
With global warming at the forefront of environmental discussions, reducing greenhouse gases, and improving energy efficiency have helped drive the adoption of renewable energy as a viable option of green buildings. Outside the energy focus, considerable attention in the green building arena is also being given to protecting the environment from hazardous chemicals through the use of products and materials that are non-toxic. Areas where healthier choices can be made include materials such as fire-retardants, paint, carpets and cleaners that are environmentally safe.
Research data reveals the risks of toxic chemicals with evidence continually being discovered in areas such as the Arctic where fish, polar bears and other animals are showing escalating signs of chemical contamination. Many man-made chemicals enter our water systems, soil, and air during manufacturing, use, disposal, as well as through leaks and fires.
Recent evidence shows poisoning by chemicals commonly used as flame retardants in household items such as carpets, furniture and clothes with data showing a connection between contamination levels in polar bears from the flame retardant polybrominated diphenyls (PBDEs) and the growing rate of hermaphroditism in polar bears.
Dr. Michael Huddy, President and CEO of International Barrier Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF; TSXV: IBH) explains, “It is not only the reality of harmful chemicals entering the food chain, but it is also the perception of chemicals and the possibility that they might get into the food chain that is creating interest and frenzy about harmful fire retardant treatments. People are becoming more and more concerned about their health and the health of their environment and are making decisions based on this reality. Due to the fact that International Barrier’s products have no harmful chemicals, with all of our materials being environmentally safe without any risks of leaching out into the groundwater, we have established a valuable alternative choice for designers and builders.”
As consumers and businesses become more aware of the risks that many commonly used chemicals can pose on our environment, the level of adoption of non-toxic and environmentally friendly products has increased, rapidly playing a bigger part in today’s commercial and residential construction.

InvestorIdeas.com® Announces Upcoming Online Greentech Investor Conference "Investing in the Environment"
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – January 12, 2007, www.InvestorIdeas.com, and its greentech portals, global investor and industry resources for the renewable and clean tech sector, announce its upcoming online investor conference on ‘Investing in the Environment’ available March 21st, 2007, starting at 9:00 am EST and archived thereafter. With issues of energy independence, global warming and environmental concerns including pollution, water contamination and shortages escalating, cleantech investments continue to rise as global political support strengthens.
The online conference will include presentations (audio with power point slides) from renewable, environmental, water, clean energy and technology experts as well as public company CEOs providing in-depth perspectives on what is happening in the Greentech sector. Current participating public companies include ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP), Rotoblock Corporation (OTCBB: ROTB), WaterBank of America (USA) Inc. (OTCBB: WBKA) and International Barrier Technology Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF).
As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi calls for “a new America that declares our energy independence, promotes domestic sources of renewable energy, and confronts climate change,” and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposes a Low Carbon Fuel Standard to reduce green house gas emissions by at least 10% in California by 2020, support for ‘green’ technology shows continued signs of growth.
It is clear that the fight against climate change has become a global priority evidenced by the recent proposal from the European Commission for the establishment of a new Energy Policy for Europe to combat climate change and increase energy security. In addition, investment into ‘green’ technology continues to grow domestically and internationally. According to the Cleantech Venture Network, cleantech investment for Q3’06 comprised 14% of all North American, and 12% of all European venture investments totaling $1.081 billion for the quarter.
