Renewable Energy Stocks Podcast; Driving Green Interview with Jonathan Ortiz of Foreign Affairs Auto, “The Integration of Electric Vehicles Will be Driven by Consumer Demand”
Foreign Affairs, Florida's 1st Smart Dealership Current Electric Car Portfolio Includes ZAP and Other Electric Vehicles
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – April 28, 2008 www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents Driving Green, an in-depth interview with Jonathan Ortiz of Foreign Affairs Auto, a dealership established in 1982 that carries a blend of cars ranging from luxury cars to green vehicles. As owner of Foreign Affairs Auto, Florida's 1st Smart Dealership, Mr. Ortiz provides first- hand perspective of the changing demographics he sees at his dealership of the typical green car enthusiast, as well as advises new dealers contemplating carrying green autos what it takes to make it a success.
When asked how his interest in green cars and electric cars developed and how he became Florida's 1st Smart Dealership, he responded,” I was attending a University in Rome in 2003 when I began researching bringing a Smart Car to the US for my personal use. I contacted Daimler Chrysler and they repeatedly told me it was not available in the USA. A few months later I came across a company in Santa Rosa, CA named ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP). ZAP had spent millions to make the Smart Car legal in the USA so that it could pass all DOT and EPA regulations. My family and I flew down and signed a formal license agreement and became the first dealership to offer the Smart Car. We had an amazing two years but were informed by Daimler they would be importing the cars and marketing it on their own and brought our Smart Car era to an end.”
“It left us with a sentimental void but opened our eyes to an enormous market with Florida residents seeking fuel efficient earth friendly vehicles, so we began our search for the next Smart Car. Continuing our relationship with ZAP, we decided to go even greener with their electric vehicles.”
Mr. Ortiz also note a change in demographics of the green car enthusiast as consumers come to terms with $4.00 gas, opening it up to a larger more mainstream audience. He is also convinced that the market for EV’s will be driven by consumer interest and demand to have a cleaner and more fuel efficient vehicle will, not the diminishing fuel reserves. ZAP has one of the largest and growing distribution systems in the USA for 100% electric vehicles.

ZAP Electric Car, Truck Arrive in Florida at West Palm Beach Dealership Foreign Affairs Auto
ZAP Electric Car, Truck Arrive in Florida at West Palm Beach Dealership Foreign Affairs Auto
WEST PALM BEACH, FL, Apr 24, 2008 - As oil and gas keep hitting new records this week, an electric car dealership opened in West Palm Beach, Florida offering a new affordable design for city-speed driving called the ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) Xebra.
Foreign Affairs Auto (http://www.foreignaffairsauto.com), located at 1681 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach, is now offering the Xebra®, an electric four-door compact car or two-seat pickup that transforms into a flat-bed or a dump truck. The vehicle was designed for gas-free, city driving up to 40 MPH and plugs into any normal household outlet.
Foreign Affairs officially launched its electric cars on Earth Day with the planting of a tree to signify another way to fight global warming. The dealership has already sold several Xebras in its test-marketing and finds that the majority of the initial sales are coming from businesses, with two of the first vehicles being used for landscaping and pizza delivery. More consumers have started buying them as they learn they are available and see them driving around town.
Family owned and operated since 1982, Foreign Affairs is branching out into gas-free electric vehicles to stay on the cutting edge of transportation. Studies show electric vehicles can reduce air pollution and ownership costs compared to gasoline. The vehicles are priced a little over $11,000 and are estimated to cost between one and three cents per mile. ZAP says an electric car can reduce fueling, maintenance and operating costs, and overall they are about half the cost of owning a gasoline car.
"My family started this dealership 26 years ago with the idea of offering a premium level of products and service," says Jonathan Ortiz of Foreign Affairs. "As part of the next generation, I believe the best way to reach the next level for our business is to get in on the ground floor of advanced automotive technologies. Our new division, Foreign Affairs: Zero, will be marketing vehicles like the ZAP Xebra."
About ZAP
ZAP has been a leader in advanced transportation technologies since 1994, delivering over 100,000 vehicles to consumers in more than 75 countries. At the forefront of fuel-efficient transportation with new technologies including energy efficient gas systems, hydrogen, electric, fuel cell, ethanol, hybrid and other innovative power systems, ZAP has a joint venture called Detroit Electric to manufacture electric and hybrid vehicles with Youngman Automotive Group, one of China's leading manufacturers of buses and trucks. Detroit Electric is developing a freeway capable electric vehicle called the ZAP Alias in collaboration with Lotus Engineering.

Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - 'Diamondview Estates' - Project Update
Geoexchange Technology Provider - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (ESIV) - 'Diamondview Estates' - Project Update
'Essential Innovations provides Geoexchange heating and cooling systems for the upcoming Diamondview Estates 'Parade of Homes - Street of Dreams''
BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 22, 2008 - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (OTCBB: ESIV - FRANKFURT: E6S) is extremely pleased to announce that the Diamondview Estates residential project site in Westbank, B.C. is well underway with a number of the lots at the site already having been sold and the installation of geothermal loop-fields and Geoexchange equipment installation having been completed in the first three (3) of the luxury show homes at site. The first phase of this project consists of 70 single-family residential sites with custom-built homes expected to range between 3,500 - 6,000 square feet on average, although some homes may also be significantly larger (or smaller). A proposed second phase consisting of another 201 condominium units and 9 townhomes has been submitted for regulatory approval, and for which Essential Innovations has a "Right of First Refusal" should the developer choose to market with the same Geothermal Option as with Phase One.
The developer has agreed to promote the Company and its innovative turnkey geothermal services throughout the span of the project. The developer expects the total build-out of the first phase of the project will be completed by the end of 2013. Diamondview Estates is overlooking Okanagan Lake and the City of Kelowna in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. The Diamondview Estates project site boasts a 75-foot cascading waterfall feature on site to complement the already breathtaking panoramic view lots. http://www.diamondview.ca
"Over the weekend of May 3rd, 2008, Diamondview Developments Ltd., project owner of Diamondview Estates, will be marketing the project site using a "Parade of Homes -- Street of Dreams" that displays for the public the beautiful show homes now located at site, all of which have been serviced with Essential Innovations geothermal (Geoexchange) heating and cooling systems. Under our agreement with the developer our Company will have on-site marketing and advertising allowable during this time to educate visitors as to the overall benefits and advantages associated with the utilization of Geoexchange in each of the show homes, and to how they could each experience long-term energy and cost savings, added comfort, and an appreciated property value -- all of which represent further benefits that go along with incorporating a geothermal system in their individual future residence(s) should they choose to purchase a home site in Diamondview Estates.
It is estimated that the cash flow generated for the Company over the duration of the long-term geothermal loop-lease for Phase One of the project represents a revenue stream of $4 - 6MM to Essential Innovations over the 25-year term of the Operating Lease (this is dependent on the number of homes that choose the Geothermal loop-lease option available to them).
In addition to the recurring revenue stream Essential Innovations is to receive from the loop-lease, Essential Innovations is also the exclusive provider of the Geothermal Heat Pump or, Geoexchange, equipment to be utilized in each of the homes to be constructed. Furthermore, Essential Innovations is the sole and exclusive provider of the installation and on-going maintenance of all of the Geoexchange equipment that services the entirety of the site, while at the same time receiving under contract the additional benefit of being able to accumulate any of the carbon offset credits generated within the project. We estimate that the supply and installation of equipment to the individual Diamondview homes should bring the Company $1 - 1.4 MM in sales income," said Jason McDiarmid, President/CEO.
Paul Yu, President of Diamondview Developments feels, "The Diamondview Estates project provides to our prospective lot-buyers the opportunity to live in, and experience, one of the most spectacular views available anywhere in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. From my perspective, the inclusion of Geoexchange in my project was determined by a growing demand and desire felt by the development community and homeowners alike, that now recognize Geoexchange technology as a truly affordable and effective means of alleviating the economic and environmental pressures associated with the continued use of fossil fuel based heating systems in the residential marketplace. For myself as a developer, it is also a strong marketing tool, as the ability to provide "green" solutions when selling high-end luxury projects of this sort can set me apart from the competition. I have personally been very happy with the relationship Diamondview Developments Ltd. has had with Essential Innovations and we look forward to the remainder of work to be done at Diamondview Estates and to the opportunity that lies ahead to work with Essential Innovations on other projects we have in our pipeline for the future."
Essential Innovations Technology Corp. provides cutting-edge Geoexchange solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications as both a manufacturer of proprietary geothermal heat pump technology and as a Geoexchange energy service company. The Company was incorporated in April 2001, and it has four wholly owned subsidiaries located in British Columbia, Canada and in Hong Kong, SAR, China.
Geoexchange technology harnesses the earth's clean, renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for purposes of heating, cooling, domestic hot water and/or dehumidification. A Geoexchange system is used to "exchange" the earth's natural heating and cooling properties between a building and the ground. This non-combustion transfer of energy is the source of performance and environmental superiority, as Geoexchange systems need only a small amount of electrical energy to then capture, move and concentrate a large amount of free energy provided by the earth.

(OTCBB: ESIV - FRANKFURT: E6S) is extremely pleased to announce that the Diamondview Estates residential project site in Westbank, B.C. is well underway with a number of the lots at the site already having been sold and the installation of geothermal loop-fields and Geoexchange equipment installation having been completed in the first three (3) of the luxury show homes at site. The first phase of this project consists of 70 single-family residential sites with custom-built homes expected to range between 3,500 - 6,000 square feet on average, although some homes may also be significantly larger (or smaller). A proposed second phase consisting of another 201 condominium units and 9 townhomes has been submitted for regulatory approval, and for which Essential Innovations has a "Right of First Refusal" should the developer choose to market with the same Geothermal Option as with Phase One.
The developer has agreed to promote the Company and its innovative turnkey geothermal services throughout the span of the project. The developer expects the total build-out of the first phase of the project will be completed by the end of 2013. Diamondview Estates is overlooking Okanagan Lake and the City of Kelowna in the beautiful Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. The Diamondview Estates project site boasts a 75-foot cascading waterfall feature on site to complement the already breathtaking panoramic view lots. http://www.diamondview.ca
"Over the weekend of May 3rd, 2008, Diamondview Developments Ltd., project owner of Diamondview Estates, will be marketing the project site using a "Parade of Homes -- Street of Dreams" that displays for the public the beautiful show homes now located at site, all of which have been serviced with Essential Innovations geothermal (Geoexchange) heating and cooling systems. Under our agreement with the developer our Company will have on-site marketing and advertising allowable during this time to educate visitors as to the overall benefits and advantages associated with the utilization of Geoexchange in each of the show homes, and to how they could each experience long-term energy and cost savings, added comfort, and an appreciated property value -- all of which represent further benefits that go along with incorporating a geothermal system in their individual future residence(s) should they choose to purchase a home site in Diamondview Estates.
It is estimated that the cash flow generated for the Company over the duration of the long-term geothermal loop-lease for Phase One of the project represents a revenue stream of $4 - 6MM to Essential Innovations over the 25-year term of the Operating Lease (this is dependent on the number of homes that choose the Geothermal loop-lease option available to them).
In addition to the recurring revenue stream Essential Innovations is to receive from the loop-lease, Essential Innovations is also the exclusive provider of the Geothermal Heat Pump or, Geoexchange, equipment to be utilized in each of the homes to be constructed. Furthermore, Essential Innovations is the sole and exclusive provider of the installation and on-going maintenance of all of the Geoexchange equipment that services the entirety of the site, while at the same time receiving under contract the additional benefit of being able to accumulate any of the carbon offset credits generated within the project. We estimate that the supply and installation of equipment to the individual Diamondview homes should bring the Company $1 - 1.4 MM in sales income," said Jason McDiarmid, President/CEO.
Paul Yu, President of Diamondview Developments feels, "The Diamondview Estates project provides to our prospective lot-buyers the opportunity to live in, and experience, one of the most spectacular views available anywhere in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. From my perspective, the inclusion of Geoexchange in my project was determined by a growing demand and desire felt by the development community and homeowners alike, that now recognize Geoexchange technology as a truly affordable and effective means of alleviating the economic and environmental pressures associated with the continued use of fossil fuel based heating systems in the residential marketplace. For myself as a developer, it is also a strong marketing tool, as the ability to provide "green" solutions when selling high-end luxury projects of this sort can set me apart from the competition. I have personally been very happy with the relationship Diamondview Developments Ltd. has had with Essential Innovations and we look forward to the remainder of work to be done at Diamondview Estates and to the opportunity that lies ahead to work with Essential Innovations on other projects we have in our pipeline for the future."
Essential Innovations Technology Corp. provides cutting-edge Geoexchange solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications as both a manufacturer of proprietary geothermal heat pump technology and as a Geoexchange energy service company. The Company was incorporated in April 2001, and it has four wholly owned subsidiaries located in British Columbia, Canada and in Hong Kong, SAR, China.
Geoexchange technology harnesses the earth's clean, renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for purposes of heating, cooling, domestic hot water and/or dehumidification. A Geoexchange system is used to "exchange" the earth's natural heating and cooling properties between a building and the ground. This non-combustion transfer of energy is the source of performance and environmental superiority, as Geoexchange systems need only a small amount of electrical energy to then capture, move and concentrate a large amount of free energy provided by the earth.

Renewable Energy Stocks; Earth Day Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks
Renewable Energy Stocks; Earth Day Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks
Solar Stocks Help Investors Think Green as First Solar Shares Spike for Earth Day
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC---Apr 22, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks as investors think of green investing for Earth Day 2008.
For investors following solar stocks, a new solar ETF may be a diversified way to invest in and track the sector. The Claymore/MAC Global Solar Energy ETF (Market, News) tracks an index comprised of 25 global solar companies.
Renewable Energy Stocks' solar expert, J Peter Lynch, commented, "There is always the chance that the solar tax credit extensions will fail again given the dysfunctional politics currently in operation in the U.S. But even if this most negative of outcomes should come to pass, it will only delay the inevitable. The solar giant will sleep a bit longer -- but not for very much longer.
"Once America awakens, you can take all the current supply and demand projections and throw them out the window. America's active entrance into the world solar market will dramatically ramp up the demand side of the equation and mark the beginning of a massive renewable transition."
"According to the U.S. Department of Energy's international energy outlook report, worldwide demand for electricity is expected to nearly double over the next two decades," stated Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc (OTC BB:XSNX.OB). "When we stop for a moment on Earth Day to picture a world demanding twice the electrical power that we consume today I think it provides a sobering moment to realize that we can not continue to use our air and water supplies as a dumping ground. Alternatives such as solar power provide a solution and a clear path to helping solve our energy demand needs while creating a safer environment for all of us. This growth in demand is why XsunX is working to help fill the need for solar power alternatives. We've been working on the build-out of our first 25mega-watt thin-film solar module manufacturing facility and we're making consistent progress. We hope to announce soon the completion of several of our material supply agreements to ensure access to the materials we will need to manufacture our solar modules. Today global electricity generation represents about $1 trillion in revenues and as demand grows we plan to play a part in the long-term growth of solar and the broader electrical power industry."
In comparing renewable current energy sources, Brian C. Yerger, Research Analyst at Jesup & Lamont Securities, remarks, "We have 2 primary energy needs: Oil/gasoline used for transportation needs does not directly compete with solar, wind, and geothermal despite the (incorrect) strong market correlation. The other is coal and natural gas for electricity needs which does compete with solar, wind, geothermal and those prices, not oil, would be the better fossil fuel pricing indicators renewable energy investors should be aware of."
"As the solar industry continues to evolve, solar will become a key energy source providing not only to our homes and businesses with earth-friendly power but also providing power on a larger scale to municipalities and developing areas where electricity is limited," said Ezra Green, Chief Executive Officer of Clear Skies Solar. "At Clear Skies Solar (OTC BB:CSKH.OB ), we are working to find new and unique ways to harness the power of the sun. In just the last two months we've launched our patented XTRAX® Solar Monitoring System, a proprietary Solar Power Supply (SPS) Vehicle Data Monitoring Device and the TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System that even includes independent AC power outlets to charge electric or hybrid automobiles. Our in-house research and development department will continue to work each day to find new uses for solar energy or enhance existing solar solutions in an effort to limit fossil fuel use and make solar energy a viable alternative for everyone."

Renewable Energy Stock: Geoexchange technology, Essential Innovations Technology Letter From the President/CEO
Renewable Energy Stock: Geoexchange technology, Essential Innovations Technology Letter From the President/CEO
BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 17 2008 - Essential Innovations Technology Corp. (OTCBB: ESIV; FRANKFURT: E6S) is pleased to provide this corporate update to its shareholders and the investment community at large. Stated Jason McDiarmid, President/CEO, "When last we reached out to the marketplace with an organizational update in May of 2007, we provided guidance that the Company had found it necessary at that time to make certain substantive changes particularly focused towards our Geoexchange contracting subsidiary company Earth Source Energy. With this in mind, over the course of the remainder of the year of 2007, Earth Source Energy was able to successfully complete and commission a number of large Geoexchange project applications it had under contract for that period. As example, the Company completed sizeable geothermal loop-field installations at the Black Rock Resort project, in Ucluelet, BC, the Quest University project in Squamish, BC, and of particular importance, at the Wakefield Beach luxury town home project in Sechelt, BC.
The Company had been contracted by Wakefield Beach Homebuilders with the exclusive right to provide complete Geoexchange heating and cooling systems and ongoing geothermal services to each of the 31 residential properties in Phase One at the Wakefield Beach project. On completion of the project by Earth Source Energy in the summer of 2007 a large utility provider purchased from us the geothermal loop-field system that we had sold and installed at the Wakefield site, for a cash payment of $380,000 CAD. Further, we were also the exclusive provider of the geothermal heat pump or Geoexchange equipment and distribution system used in each of the homes, such contract also completed in the same summer of 2007. The total contract value paid to us from Wakefield Beach Homebuilders over the duration of the contract to exclusively provide the geothermal heat pump equipment and building distribution systems, was $515,000 CAD. At present day, we now continue to remain the sole and exclusive provider of the ongoing maintenance of all of the Geoexchange equipment that services the entirety of Phase One of the site.
With Earth Source Energy now currently re-structured to operate in a project design, consultation and management capacity, with a primary interest in the facilitation of ESCO projects in excess of $500,000 cost base, rather than as a typical full-scale contracting business, it allows us to dedicate the majority of our time and internal resources to truly focus on the manufacturing and distribution opportunities presently available for the Geoexchange equipment provided by our core manufacturing business.
Today, we are driven to the production, network expansion and ensuing training and dealer support for our proprietary geothermal heat pump technology, with such goal being supported by our supplementary business segment capable of providing unique financing options for long-term geothermal loop-field infrastructure installation and management alongside our financing partners -- these distinct objectives are representative of our overall business organizational model, and they place us in a unique position in the Geoexchange industry set. With the sales and promotion of our Geoexchange heat pump technology forming the basis of our overall business direction, we are happy to report that we are currently in promising discussions and negotiations with certain parties seeking product exclusivity for specific regions of Canada and the USA, whilst we also are engaged in on-going negotiations to allow us to establish manufacturing capabilities in overseas markets in the next 18 - 24 month period. In this regard, we are in talks with government agencies in Canada, the USA, and Asia, as to providing financing assistance to help our Company with the set-up of such an international manufacturing operation. We are totally determined to continue to develop such global manufacturing & distribution initiatives, while at the same time remaining active in the consultation and design assistance necessary for many residential and commercial mixed-use subdivision projects in the North American, Middle Eastern and Asian marketplaces for which we are engaged. Such projects all have sincere interest in the ESCO project structure we offer, whether as a joint venture or simply to have a third-party financing capability provided through our Company or our select financing associates. On this day, all of the Board, the management, and the employees at Essential Innovations remain ever confident that should we now continue to be able to execute on our goals and objectives on a going forward basis, that the Company and the enduring shareholders of ESIV will achieve a strong return on investment over the long-term."

Gas Prices Hit $4, ZAP Electric Car Deliveries Top 700
Gas Prices Hit $4, ZAP Electric Car Deliveries Top 700
MIAMI, FL, Apr 16, 2008 - ZAP (OTCBB: ZAAP) - Electric car interest is picking up as gas prices push toward record highs, according to US electric car dealers.
AP reported that retail gasoline prices rose to a new average national record of $3.386, according to a survey by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices were highest in California, where mid-range and higher grades are now averaging more than $4 a gallon.
AAA said gas prices are becoming a top priority with consumer surveys. Some are starting to buy gas-free, rechargeable battery powered electric cars. ZAP has delivered more than 700 of its Xebra electric city-cars and trucks. The Northern California company is developing a nationwide network of dealers with locations opening in places like Davis, California, Leavenworth, Kansas and West Palm Beach, Florida.
Recent controversy over laws mandating the production of electric cars brought consumer demand into question, with automakers saying consumers are much more likely to buy hybrids than pure electric cars. Still some persist saying demand is growing and there are few vehicles on the market to fill the demand for electric cars.
"The ZAP Xebra was the only production EV available that could obtain such speeds and actually be driven on regular roads," wrote electric car dealer Jonathan Ortiz of Foreign Affairs Auto in West Palm Beach. "I kindly invite anyone in disbelief to enter my showroom doors to see first-hand simple evidence that an Electric Vehicle Dealership can be viable."
Experts talk about many ways of saving gas, but electric vehicles have shown to be very cost-effective compared to gasoline. Your average gas fill-up can cost over $60, yet a vehicle like the ZAP recharges for about 60 cents. Typical customers are homeowners and fleet operators. More power companies and public utility companies are offering off-peak metering plugs that can save even more.
ZAP is developing a range of electric vehicles along with its sales and service network. Based in Santa Rosa, California, ZAP is expecting dealers and distributors from around the world at its next service training and seminar for prospective electric vehicle outlets, scheduled for April 25, 2008. To sign up or to arrange a test drive of an electric Xebra go to http://www.zapworld.com.

Clear Skies Solar Opens Golden, Colorado Office Company Initiates Aggressive Expansion to Southwest
Clear Skies Solar Opens Golden, Colorado Office Company Initiates Aggressive Expansion to Southwest
NEW YORK & GOLDEN, Colo. Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH), a leading developer of solar energy products and a full-service solar power integration provider, today announced that the company will open a new office in Golden, Colorado to provide operations in the entire Colorado region and ultimately deliver engineering support to the upcoming offices in the Southwest.
“Large portions of the Southwest remain a relatively untouched market that offers tremendous potential for solar energy providers,” said Clear Skies Solar CEO Ezra Green. “Coupled with the record-high energy prices and increased calls for environmental responsibility, we expect to see explosive growth of photovoltaic-produced electricity in the region. Strategically-placed offices throughout this area will put Clear Skies Solar in a prime position to fulfill the expanding need for solar energy in the Southwest.”
Systems engineer Scott Davies, previously of Altair Energy, will oversee engineering operations in the office. Rami Makhail, Clear Skies Solar’s Executive Vice President of Sales, will assemble the sales force for the region and oversee the company’s expansion into the market with a primary focus on servicing the increased corporate need for solar energy systems.
“Large corporations are leading the growth in solar energy not only because they want to realize the long-term savings that solar energy provides, but also because of their increased desire to utilize renewable energy, cut greenhouse emissions and reduce their own carbon footprints,” added Green. “In fact, many large corporations are now demanding solar energy on their real estate simply because it is the right thing to do and because they know that their customers will look favorably upon them for doing so.”
The Colorado office joins the company’s New York and Los Angeles offices and is part of Clear Skies Solar’s aggressive expansion project to accommodate the exponential growth and interest in solar and energy efficiency programs throughout the Southwest. Clear Skies Solar expects to hire an additional four employees to staff this new office.
