On January 12th the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved the California Solar Initiative (CSI), which provides $2.9 billion in incentives from 2007 - 2017 to help promote the development of solar power. This program is aimed at reducing the costs of solar technology for State consumers as California move towards cleaner energy solutions. The CSI represents the largest program of its kind in the United States, setting an example that many hope will lead to nationwide growth opportunities within the renewable energy arena.
"The California Solar Initiative is the largest solar program in the country and I hope it will be a model for other states. The program will be a major source of dependable and environmentally friendly electricity, and is a major tool in the State's promise to address climate change and meet the Governor's goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," stated PUC Commissioner Dian M. Grueneich.
It is believed that this program will help to stabilize and solidify the market for solar technology, benefiting consumers as well as participating companies operating within this space. Dr. Robert Wilder, CEO & Founder of Wildershares, LLC and Manager of the WilderHill Clean Energy Index explains, "Many solar companies have already sold out all their panels for this entire year and some into the next year, so this isn't so much going to create wanted demand - the demand is there now. Instead, it's going to ensure a more stable scenario for the future. Producers of raw silicon for panels will ramp up with less risk now, as they look five or ten years out. This Initiative will also help kick-start other States and even Nations to grow their solar programs. Germany and Japan have benefited so far with the jobs created and growth from their ambitious programs, and now it's California's turn. I'm proud that the State is going to generate economic growth and new jobs, enacting this smarter energy policy that's a win-win all around."
I am looking forward to evaluating the impact that this initiative will have not only for Californians, but for many of the other states that have aggressively been pursuing clean energy.
I am open to hearing perspectives on potential impacts - any comments?

Overview Excerpt: Insights into China and India’s Water and Renewable Energy Market
By Fei Wang www.China-AsiaStocks.com and www.indiastockmarket.com,
January 2006
There has been a dramatic increase in the demand for natural resources of all kinds, especially water and energy in both these countries, which brings enormous opportunities to foreign investors involved in the water and renewable energy sectors. However, due to the differences in the composition of natural resources, population structure, and political environment, opportunities and challenges vary between countries. How do these differences affect doing business in those two countries? Which country has bigger potential for growth in these two industries?
Steve Hoffmann, President of WaterTech Capital said: “Between India and China, China has, at least at this point of time, better natural water resources than India because water systems in China are fairly extensive. India on the other hand, does have a variety of surface water to draw upon, but a lot of their surface water availability comes in a form of monsoons, and many of them are lost during flooding. Therefore, relatively speaking, between China and India, at this point, India is more water stressed than China… “

How Energy Efficient Technology is Helping to Control Energy Costs
RenewableEnergyStocks.com - How Energy Efficient Technology is Helping to Control Energy Costs.
Energy Saving Technologies Offer Dependable Alternatives to Traditional Power Producers
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., January 4th, 2006 – http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/, an investor and industry news portal for the renewable energy sector, provides an exclusive overview on energy efficiency efforts, entitled ‘Practical experience reveals that energy is a firm’s third-highest cost’. Businesses are looking for the means to reduce costs, increase profits and satisfy ever-increasing demands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve the environment. Perspectives on how key businesses have adapted to new realities are offered by SmartCool Systems Inc., Distributed Energy Systems, The Dow Chemical Company, FuelCell Energy, Inc., and International Rectifier.
With America’s commercial business sector leading demand, the cost of providing energy to the nation’s business and residential consumers is expected to easily exceed $200 billion this winter.
George Burnes, President of SmartCool Systems Inc. (OTC.PK: SSCFF; TSXV: SSC), said recently that the primary driver towards commercial energy efficient technology is a desire to reduce operating costs. The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW), understanding the need for reducing consumer costs, is committed to helping consumers reduce their energy consumption by producing products that help lower electric bills while making a positive difference for the environment.
Distributed Energy Systems Corp. (NASDAQ: DESC) delivers power to end users looking to supplement their grids, allowing for more control over their electricity supplies. “Technology is helping to achieve differentiated quality of service in a way that really wasn’t commercially viable even five or 10 years ago,” described Walter W. ‘Chip’ Schroeder, President of DESC. FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL), also sees significant value in being able to control power usage and costs through on-site systems to ensure that efficiencies are realized.
International Rectifier (NYSE: IRF) anticipates energy savings through advancements in power management technology as the desire for energy-efficient products continues to increase.
Overview Excerpt: Practical experience reveals that energy is a firm’s third-highest cost
By John Hurst, http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/
George Burnes, President of SmartCool Systems, Inc., explains “Recent geo-political instability in major fossil fuel producing regions has only served to increase public demand within North America to reduce dependence on fossil-fuelled electricity generation. This has resulted in cash and tax incentives being offered by utilities and local governments in many states and provinces to encourage industrial, commercial and institutional users to reduce electricity consumption through the installation of energy savings equipment.”
Steven P. Eschbach, spokesman for FuelCell Energy, Inc added that a powerful driver is the reduction of greenhouse gases. “Again, getting the high efficiency back into the equation, the more efficient you are, the less harmful greenhouse gases you emit.”
