Q&A with CEO of Green Car Dealership Company; EVCARCO (OTCBB:EVCA)

Q&A with CEO of Green Car Dealership Company; EVCARCO (OTCBB:EVCA)

Mack Sanders, C.E.O. of EVCARCO INC. Discusses the Future of
Green Cars as Oil Prices Rise

February 28, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com a leading global investor and industry portal covering the green and renewable energy sector released a recent interview with Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer of green car company, EVCARCO (OTCBB:EVCA).

With oil prices on the rise, Mr. Sanders discussed the potential future of his dealership/franchise business model for plug-in electric, alternative fuel, and pre-owned hybrid vehicles.

Interview

Q: Investorideas.com

Mack, you have recently joined EVCARCO as CEO, to lead the company with its vision of a green car dealership. Can you give us your background and what brought you to this company?

A: Mack Sanders
Thank you for this opportunity. I have been involved in nearly every facet of the Auto industry. I have over twenty years of operating automotive business in the southwest region, being involved with major franchise automotive dealers and services. In saying this, I look to bring EVCARCO into the future and make their plan of a social network of Eco-Friendly Alternative Fuel vehicles a reality now in today’s economic climate.

Q: Investorideas.com
On your company website, you show the locations of dealerships coming soon. Can you give us an idea of timelines?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
We speak to ten to fifteen franchise leads a month. We feel as gas and oil prices increase, these will produce the franchisee with the investment to meet the requirements to open and develop EVCARCO locations. We currently plan to have four stores running within the next twelve months. As you readers are aware, the availability of product for the stores is where we spend the most time and money. Within the last two years, we have been involved with eight Electric Vehicle Manufacturers and from these, only two are still in business. We are looking to bring in three more after we have the chance to test these products.

Q: Investorideas.com
The company recently announced it will enter the natural gas vehicle market and sell CNG powered Foton MD 3000 medium-duty class 3-5 trucks at its green auto dealerships. Can you give us more details?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
The natural gas alternative product is another example of EVCARCO’s scope of possibilities. This product answers the commercial application with outstanding results.
The average one to five businesses using this class of truck can realize 50% reduction in operating costs, as CNG fuel is half the cost of diesel fuel in any market. Combine this with the government incentives for point of purchase and rebates and this product saves money and maintains a cleaner footprint. We look for this product to be the most aggressive product yet. Foton is a large long standing manufacturer with a proven sales and service record. Through our two years of research, we find that 97% of the smaller alternative manufacturers just do not have a satisfactory sales plan, nor do they have any real service support. We, at EVCARCO, see the Foton product to provide the sales and service support necessary to maintain a long term successful customer base.

Q: Investorideas.com
With the recent spike in oil prices, is your company and website seeing an increase in interest and enquiries?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
Yes, we have seen a daily increase in calls and emails. The best part of this answer is that EVCARCO has been on an island in the past working hard and only seeing small glimpses of results, like people waving from the deck of a cruise ship (“Wow doesn’t that look neat” or “My aren’t those cute”) We will see how that changes with a constant $4.00 a gallon gas price and $150.00 oil barrels. I think this is only the spark of interest.

Q: Investorideas.com
For investors looking at the company, you have an ambitious plan to roll out your dealerships and franchises. What happens next and will you be able to execute, is the number one question they are asking?

A: Mack Sanders, Chief Executive Officer, EVCARCO INC.
Progress always starts with ambition, I would expect this to be a “Grass Roots” undertaking that everyone would need to see succeed. We, at EVCARCO, are dedicated to the cause and the ranks are filing in behind us pushing this goal forward. Many have said we are ahead of the market, however with the current economic conditions here, as well as abroad, we clearly see the time is now. The only way small manufacturers are going to be successful building Electric Cars is to use the “EVCARCO” approach of branding a major franchise presentation to the general buying public. This will need to include all the selection, service, financing and advertising that they have come to respect in the market place. EVCARCO is a win-win pick for any investor, the only direction the alternative vehicle market can go is up. This is an opportunity to get onboard with a publicly traded company that has put in the investment and work to not only take this company public but also trademark a brand and obtain franchise licensing for nearly every State in the Union. EVCARCO is in a perfect position for EVERY Investor and the more investors that get involved, the more successful this “ambitious plan” will be!

Improving Corporate Climate Disclosure - New Ceres Report Highlights Need for Improvement, Best Practices

Improving Corporate Climate Disclosure - New Ceres Report Highlights Need for Improvement, Best Practices

NEW REPORT OUTLINES WHAT COMPANIES SHOULD BE DISCLOSING ON CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

BOSTON///February 25, 2011- Amid growing evidence that climate change is impacting the global environment and the global economy, the Ceres investor coalition today announced a new report aimed at improving corporate disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities they face.

The Ceres report, developed with input from its 90-plus member Investor Network on Climate Risk, outlines generally weak climate disclosure to date by businesses and steps for improving such disclosure, especially in annual 10-K financial filings that are next due from companies by March 31, 2011. It comes just a week after the consulting firm Mercer issued a new study warning that climate change could increase investment portfolio risk by 10 percent over the next 20 years.

"Adjusting to a world profoundly shaped by climate change is a key challenge for all leading companies," said Ceres president Mindy S. Lubber. "Ensuring that investors are getting timely, material information on climate-related impacts, including regulatory and physical impacts, is essential. This report sets the bar on what investors expect on climate disclosure so that they better understand which companies are well positioned for the future and which are not."

"As a long-term investor, we need a clear account of the environmental challenges and opportunities facing the companies we choose to invest in," added Anne Stausboll, chief executive officer of the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the nation's largest public pension fund, which provided input on the report. "The roadmap offered by this report will guide all of us - investors and business alike - as we incorporate climate risk into our due diligence and our overall investment strategy."

The report, Disclosing Climate Risks & Opportunities in SEC Filings: A Guide for Corporate Executives, Attorneys & Directors, is available at www.ceres.org.
Today's report comes one year after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued formal interpretive guidance for companies on climate-related information they should be disclosing to investors in their 10-Ks or 20-Fs, as well as quarterly filings. The guidance, issued last February, capped a multi-year effort by leading investors, state law enforcement officials and others to boost corporate attention to the quality of their climate-related disclosure.
The report makes clear that while many more companies are disclosing climate-related information in voluntary reports - such as annual reports, sustainability reports and Carbon Disclosure Project responses - the quality of overall disclosure is still less than satisfactory.

"Assessments of corporate disclosure practices on climate change show significant improvements in recent years, particularly in voluntary disclosures," the report concludes. "However, overall disclosure continues to be highly inconsistent and often inadequate, particularly in mandatory filings, and frequently fails to meet the needs of investors."

Still, the report includes a half-dozen concrete examples of "good quality disclosure" in financial filings by companies such as Chiquita Brands International, Siemens, Rio Tinto, AES and Xcel Energy. It also lists examples of "poor" and "weak" disclosure.

Following many of the topics outlined in the SEC guidance, the report identifies five key categories of climate disclosure expected from companies, including:

* Regulatory risks and opportunities: Quality disclosure should include specific details and quantification of impacts from proposed or enacted carbon-reducing regulations on a company's direct and indirect operations, such as impacts in costs or profits from operating power plants, fossil fuel extraction or selling emission credits.

* Physical impacts: Quality disclosure should include detailed information about significant physical effects of climate change, such as increased incidence of severe weather, rising sea levels, reduced arability of farmland and reduced water availability, that may materially affect a company's operations, competitiveness and bottom-line results.

* Indirect Consequences/Business Trends: Quality disclosure should include a thoughtful and candid discussion of management's understanding of how climate change may effect its business, whether from new opportunities or risks from decreasing demand for high carbon-intensive products or rising demand for cleaner, more energy-efficient products.

* Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Quality disclosure should set forth current direct and indirect GHG emissions from their operations, methodology used to produce such data, and estimated future direct and indirect emissions from their operations, purchased electricity and product/services.

* Strategic Analysis of Climate Risks and Emissions Management: Quality disclosure should include a strategic assessment that includes a statement of the company's current position on climate change, an explanation of significant actions being taken to minimize risks and seize opportunities, and corporate governance actions relating to climate change, such as establishment of any management or board of director committees to address the topic.

The report also includes an 11-point checklist to help companies to improve the quality of their disclosure and position themselves to respond more effectively.

"This document will be an important catalyst in the major shift in attitudes towards climate change that is now taking place in the investment industry," said Kevin Parker, global head of Deutsche Asset Management. "Institutional investors everywhere are recognizing that climate change is a risk they must take full account of in their overall portfolios. As DB Climate Change Advisors demonstrated in its own recent report on this issue, Investing in Climate Change 2011, greater transparency and better information from companies is essential to enable them to assess the risk effectively. Ceres' report is critical in defining what investors need to know in setting the standard of information companies must aim at."

"This report from Ceres is an important addition in illuminating not only what to report, but insight into the quality of corporate reporting of the risks and opportunities of climate change," said Julie Gorte, senior vice president for sustainable investing at Pax World Management, a sustainable investing firm. "Five years ago, it was unusual for any company to mention climate change in a financial filing, and few provided much more than a boilerplate acknowledgment that regulation of greenhouse gas emissions might at some point have a material impact on the company. Now, with expanded investor awareness of the financial impacts of climate change, investors are looking for more, and this report gives companies critical information on what 'more' should look like."

Solar Stocks; Southern California Edison Connects 32-Acre, 5 Million Watt Solar Array to its Grid

Solar Stocks; Southern California Edison Connects 32-Acre, 5 Million Watt Solar Array to its Grid


An Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities

ROSEMEAD, Calif.---- .--(www.investorideas.com renewable energy/ green newswire, a leader in cleantech investor research )--Southern California Edison (SCE) today connected the state’s largest investor-owned utility photovoltaic plant to its Central Valley power grid. The new generating station, the utility’s first ground-mount PV installation, covers 32 acres of land SCE has leased from the city of Porterville, Calif. It adds 5 million watts of peak capacity – enough power to serve 3,250 average homes – to SCE’s network of 11 solar stations.



“Our hope when we launched SCE’s Solar PV Program was that it would help California achieve its ambitious renewable energy goals, while increasing industry knowledge about solar PV efficiency and interaction with local distribution circuits”

.Construction and testing of the 29,426-panel solar array near the Porterville Municipal Airport took about six months and created 125 jobs. The new Central Valley solar station is connected directly to the utility’s neighborhood power circuits and benefits all SCE customers in the region.



“Our hope when we launched SCE’s Solar PV Program was that it would help California achieve its ambitious renewable energy goals, while increasing industry knowledge about solar PV efficiency and interaction with local distribution circuits,” said Mark Nelson, SCE’s director of Generation Planning and Strategy. “That hope has become a reality.”



In addition to building its own network of 40-50 solar stations, SCE is signing power purchase agreements with independent producers willing to construct a similar number of solar plants collectively. The combined installations are expected to create some 1,200 jobs in all.



“It is more than exciting for Porterville to take this first step with SCE. Hopefully, in years to come, a solar project like this will be commonplace,” said Mayor Ronald Irish.



About Southern California Edison



An Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, serving a population of nearly 14 million via 4.9 million customer accounts in a 50,000-square-mile service area within Central, Coastal and Southern California.

Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc (OTCBB: CWET) .This is the second interview in a series, discussing the benefits and advantages of the unique Downdraft wind tower technology.

Interview

Q: Investorideas.com
Ron, following up on our first interview, where you introduced the Downdraft wind towers to investors, with energy prices rising; can you explain how your system allows a steady production of electricity 24/7?

A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc.
Reliable alternative energy is very different from just providing green solutions. The Tower produces energy 24/7. The Tower creates wind using natural solar energy and water. The Tower is actually a power plant with a predictable production of electricity. Knowing its cost of producing electricity for a long term separates the Tower from other alternative sources.

Q: Investorideas.com
The company has filed patents on its stepped-variable hydraulic drive system. What is the status and is there anything comparable out there?

A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc.
Let me first compliment our government for waving our fees to accelerate this patent. Our patent attorney has researched this technique and believes it has a unique application to our system.

Q: Investorideas.com
Can you explain the Dual Renewable System technology?

A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc.
While the Tower creates wind and directs it into tunnels, the exterior “sail” area collects wind and also directs that wind into tunnels. This “dual” feature of utilizing renewable energy increases the Tower’s production by approximately 30% while stabilizing the structure and actually reducing the construction cost.


Q: Investorideas.com
Is there a time frame when investors can see one of your Downdraft wind towers on location and operating?

A: Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc.
CWET actually has a potential site for its first Tower under contract. It is possible that a Tower could actually be breaking ground within 12-24 months.

Renewable Energy Investor Alert; Wind Stocks- Taller Wind Towers for GE (NYSE: GE) and Clean Wind Energy Tower (OTC: CWET)

Wind News; Taller Wind Towers for GE (NYSE: GE) and Clean Wind Energy Tower (OTC: CWET)

Point Roberts, WA –February 22, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research issues a sector close-up on wind stocks and how two companies are betting on taller wind towers for better efficiencies.

GE (NYSE: GE) recently reported the acquisition of next generation technology from Wind Tower Systems, LLC (WTS) that is expected to enable taller wind turbine towers. According to the press release,: The need for taller, cost-efficient towers is becoming an important factor in the wind industry as blade lengths increase. “

Wind company Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc (OTCBB:CWET) may be working on one of the tallest wind towers, with a very unique technology . According to Ronald W. Pickett, President and CEO, Chairman, “ We create a downdraft inside our tower and the wind spins turbines constantly unlike wind farm turbines on a tower pole which sit and wait for wind to blow.”

Clean Wind Energy, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc, (OTCBB:CWET) is designing and preparing to develop, and construct large “Downdraft Towers” that use benevolent, non-toxic natural elements to generate electricity and clean water economically by integrating and synthesizing numerous proven as well as emerging technologies. In addition to constructing Downdraft Towers in the United States and abroad, the Company intends to establish partnerships at home and abroad to propagate these systems and meet increasing global demand for clean water and electricity.

The Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps deliver water to the top of the Downdraft Tower to spray a fine mist across the entire opening. The water evaporates and cools the hot dry air at the top. The cooled air is more dense and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to 50 mph, driving the turbines located at the base of the structure. The turbines are attached to generators to produce electricity. The exterior of the Downdraft Tower is constructed with vertical “wind vanes” that run the entire length of the structure. The Downdraft Tower's vanes capture the prevailing wind and channel it through a separate system of tunnels to turn turbines attached to generators that produce additional electrical power. This dual renewable energy resource enhances the capability and productivity of the Clean Wind system.

The Downdraft Tower has the capability of being operated with virtually no carbon footprint, fuel consumption, or waste production and this technology has the potential to generate clean, cost effective and efficient electrical power without the damaging effects caused by using fossil or nuclear fuels, and other conventional power sources. The Company also believes that increasing emphasis on green technologies and governmental incentives in the energy industry should have a positive long-term effect on the Company's planned business and the wind energy industry in general.

The Company has entered into a number of agreements with potential partners to meet the development aspects of the tower. Specifically, three of the largest companies in the world are working with clean wind providing final bids to meet the tower's specifications.

GE Completes Acquisition of Next-Generation Wind Turbine Tower Technology Technology Designed to Allow Taller Towers while Lowering Wind Farm Installation and Transportation Costs

SCHENECTADY, N.Y.--11 February 2011-- GE (NYSE: GE) announced today the acquisition of next generation technology from Wind Tower Systems, LLC (WTS) that is expected to enable taller wind turbine towers. The need for taller, cost-efficient towers is becoming an important factor in the wind industry as blade lengths increase.

WTS has been working on the development of the space frame tower system technology for use at wind farm sites that require hub heights of 100 meters or more. The space frame tower technology is a highly engineered and optimized structure that will handle the unique static and dynamic loads generated by wind turbines.

WTS also has been developing innovative ways to transport and install these taller wind turbine towers. The space frame technology will use standard flatbed trucks. Hi Jack system technology can eliminate the need for heavy lift cranes during installation. These new technologies offer the ability to cost effectively extend the tower height, which in turn enables the turbine to produce more energy.

“We see great potential in the addition of this technology to our portfolio not only for our customers but also for the wind industry as a whole,” said Victor Abate, vice president-renewable energy for GE Power & Water. “Taller towers are an essential complement to longer blades. Longer blades capture more energy and in turn improve return on investment for wind farm developers.”

“The taller space frame towers and integrated lifting system concepts, developed with the support of the U.S. DOE and California Energy Commission, have been designed to drive lower wind energy costs,” said Thomas Conroy, CEO of Wind Tower Systems. ”We are delighted that the development of the company’s products will be completed and commercialized by GE.”

Plans are underway to install a prototype of the GE’s space frame tower system technology to validate and test its design later this year with commercial availability targeted for 2012.

GE (NYSE: GE) is an advanced technology, services and finance company taking on the world’s toughest challenges. Dedicated to innovation in energy, health, transportation and infrastructure, GE operates in more than 100 countries and employs about 300,000 people worldwide.

Solar Stocks and Market Commentary with J Peter Lynch

Solar Stocks Review - Monday 2-21-2011

J Peter Lynch

An overall summary and table are below which gives a current snap shot of the "technical picture" of each of our solar stocks. This is updated weekly and also whenever there are any significant changes.

Summary

Note: At this time there is a general market comment - advising caution at this time.

The majority of our stocks (14 of 22) have seen their monthly momentum turn positive in the last week or two and 17 of 22 are showing positive weekly momentum – all short term signs that the solar sector seems to be getting stronger. At this time the strongest stocks are: JKS, LDK, SOL, SOLR, TSL and First Solar (FSLR). Two of our "solar seven" (JASO and SOLF) have had their rating reduced from Strong "S" to Neutral "N" last week.

Critical levels for the weakest of our "solar seven"

JASO - starting to show some strength. The stock closed above $8.25 showing that it has regained its upside strength. Another week or so of this kind of positive action will move the stock back to an S rating.

SOLF – New symbol – HSOL is at a critical long term support level. A close below $8.00 it would trigger a sell signal.

Other Stock Comments

EMKR – has been showing recent strength, but is very overbought at this time and I think we will see the stock correct back to a more reasonable level.

SPWRA – starting to show some real strength for the first time in quite a while and has moved up to a "S" strong rating from N.

YGE – has been showing strength and has moved to an N rating up from W.

Market Comment - Caution Advised

Currently the market has two potentially serious "red flags" warning investors to be cautious:

Investor Sentiment
Investor sentiment is considered to be a contrary indicator and when too many investors or investment newsletters are Bullish – it is a time to be cautious.
At the current time BOTH the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) poll of its members and the Investors Intelligence poll of investment newsletters are above their danger zones of 50%.
There is no guarantee of anything in the stock market, as we all know. But levels of sentiment so extremely bullish would historically indicate at least the potential for a market correction of 10% to 15%.
Stocks are very overextended
On the technical side the market is very overbought above its 200 day moving average. In fact, the current overbought condition is more extreme than any important market top in the last 10 years – certainly another significant reason to be very cautious at this juncture in the market.
Keep in mind that stocks can stay overextended for long periods of time. As a result I am advising caution at this time – since the number one rule of investing is: Not to lose money and this is not the time to initiate positions unless you are a shorter term trader and watch the market very closely.
